not as simple, for me it's a no-go if I see Amazon-Alibaba-Google... I love site like this one, or Zaph, or old MarkK, or HumbleHomeMadeHifi or Troels Gravsen... even if I'm a little naive and I bet they have commercial agreements... but all the time spent must feed his owner. No problemo here.
Has some strange decay behaviour from 3-5 kHz. Motor looks great, the soft parts look like they could use some work still.
good hint Zvu.Btw is it me : this tweeter has a beautifull off axis behavior ? Constant directivity sort of ?
I'm asking myself if the good testimonials about its sound is not also due to the H2 being relativly "high" in the low end (-20 db only where some go -30 db or better when sota), so H2 harmonics being fastly there in the upper register ?
I have a little trouble understanding why one would want to use a 2 inch dome like the DMB-A. Fs of 700 Hz is no better than lots of tweeters out there, and 92 dB sensitivity is the same. Off-axis response falls off earlier than a 25 mm or 28 mm tweeter. Are there benefits to the 2 inch over a 1 inch tweeter when used in a waveguide for constant directivity or something? I guess it could be used with a ribbon that likes to cross high, but a standard tweeter could do the same. Is it possible to cross the 2 inch dome lower than a 1 inch tweeter with the same Fs?

Because its great performance/price ratio and quite good performance among its direct competitors as Dayton Audio RS52FN, Morel MDM55, Dynaudio D54.
Yes, it can be crossed lower and its wider dispersion compared to 1"+waveguide makes it sounding in quite different way
Thanks for the information!
I'm also curious - do you (or anyone else) have any opinions on the general quality and reliability of Hivi drivers? I order 2 M8Ns a few years ago and both of them have a lovely strong burnt plastic smell when I started running measurements on them like there's burning in the voice coil or something, so I've avoided HiVi since then. Do they tend to have quality problems or did I just get unlucky with my two units?
