I thought I was good with the ZA14, then I redesigned the Bass units, ...
ok let me start from the beginning...
Had Vifa P13's for a while, nice mids but lacked detail, after a lot of searching and talking guys on the forum, ended with Zaph's ZA14's... very good mids, however since I redesigned the Bass units (had 4 low eff TB 740's), now have dual 15 inchers. An AV15 for sub duty complemented by a JBL 2035HPL for upper bass. Combined they dwarf the ZA14's output by about 3-4db's despite padding down the 2035hpl...
So now I need a mid that's as good as (or better) than the ZA14, is very detailed; and has eff of about 92-94db/w. I am willing to move up to a 6.5" driver for this.
The mids would cover the 350Hz to the 3.5kHz range and be below $300 a pair.
(The HF's are 3 vifa XT25's as an FYI)...
I am thinking about the following 6.5's: If there are other mids I should consider, please let me know.
Eighteensound 6ND430's - I like the FR on these.
PHL's - Dont know where to begin...
B&C 6NDL44 - Slightly lower spl, but nice FR
B&C 6PEV13 - high spl , ok FR, no idea how it sounds
Thanks!
