Have you listened to the Tang Band full range w5-2143? I imagine it would make an excellent mid in a 3-way...and lower cost too.
I am in the market for a good smooth midbass with high sensitivity. The Revelator and Satori are currently at the top of the list. This one seems to have quite a bit higher sensitivity than the MW series. It may be a while though as I am still working on my hole filler 3 way.
Hello !
As i did not find any info or listening experience on the Satori MR16P-4,
i want to share here i built a pair of 19 liter br with the Satori as a FR Speaker.
Like it very much !
Powering it with a EL 509 amp 9 Watt.
Using an impedance correction network
and a mini dsp for bending (also) the room.
cheers,
Alex.

I imagine the mids are fantastic. How is the sound signature above say 2khz? Is there a paper treble coloration or anything at all disagreeable?
Last year I contacted Madisound on this Satory ''FR'' his nice custumer service prompt informed:
The MR is only a midrange unit, it is not designed to play bass
frequencies. I think you should be considering the MW16P-4 instead.
It also gets up to 15kHz, so full range for anyone over 50 years old.
An extended bass shelf box for two of the MW16P-4 would be 50 liters
with a 3" diameter vent by 6" long. This will get you 3dB down at
39Hz. 6dB down at 33Hz. You are still within x-max at 13
watts.You're at about 102dB at 10 watts.
At 78.3 liters you can use a 3" diameter vent by 4" long. You end up
with a dip, then a bump on the low end with an f3 of 33Hz. I think
you would be better off by adding some solid material to the inside of
the box to reduce the volume to 50 liters.
Kind regards,
Brian

For my ear it sounds very smooth. Maybee a little sensitive in the 10Khz region but tonal very relaxed. Natural feeling. Things i missed on my fostex.
I spent some time on the impedance correction network, that is also a kind of output transformer correction.
And also use mini dsp for room correction.
cheers Alex.

I have the MR16P-4 in a Dayton BR-1 box which is about 15 L tuned to 37 Hz normally. I stuffed the entire length of the vent tube with 2 in. diameter dense foam. I am running this almost fullrange; I have what would normally be a L-R 2nd order with a 6 dB down point at about 13 KHz. I am still experimenting with "crossovers". In reality, this is a flattening circuit. I am not using a Zobel or other impedance compensation so my calculations are based on the Z-curve published in Audio Express as Tested by Vance D. himself! I am using a super tweeter for the top octave (almost 62 years young now) and I am getting really good results. The vent stuffing still allows for decent bass but protects against over excursion at the lowest frequencies. This box is closely approximating 3rd order so I am getting some bass in the 40's (about half-way what one would expect comparing closed box vs. vented box). This driver works very well here as an almost fullrange; I am quite happy with the results so far.

i would take two:
SB Acoustics :: 61/2” SATORI MR16P-8
one invers in the back, +- changed and one direkt, or a cheaper pp driver like
Monacor SPH 165 in the back,
in my horns DH-SAT-XL, POSAUNE, Kangling

Very nice! We can't get Monachor brand in the USA; would like to try them sometime!
