Perhaps it would be better to publish results for the worst samples (except for the obviously defective ones). That way, no one is surprised in a bad way.
for a 22mm tweeter, try this new one, amasing sound and distortion measurment

I would be interested to hear more of your thoughts on this tweeter, looking at it to pair with a Morel EM1308 mid dome crossing at around 3.5-4khz. Can you describe the sound you like, I understand it is your ears but any info would be welcome.
The great thing with small soft tweeter is that they can reproduce percution instrument with the same level of accurency than the hard dome . The other great thing about it, is the dynamic capacity as good as the Transducer Lab N26CR2-g tweeter witch was the best i've heard for it until the wavecor
TW022WA07. small flange 92db/2.83v, small distortion , flat response, best dynamic , great percution instrument response ....what else?

Thanks, sounds like a winner and a definite alternative (and cheaper) to the Hiquphon OW1/2. Was looking at the TW022WA10 but your comments sound like it is good. Did you hear the TW022WA06 (ferrite) to compare it to?
I've test many many speaker and I very ofen prefer neodymium speaker. I have test the tw030wa11 from wavecor and the sound is more "gray" . Many more nuances with the TW022WA07

Thank you. Did you provide a rear chamber for it or is it simply mounted to a baffle ?
I've always been curious about the D7608, it's been around for ages. It's nice in that you can provide your own chamber for it *** you see fit. Performance >1kHz looks excellent, below 1kHz is not stellar making for limited use cases unfortunately.

thanks! i guess this driver is used by proac, the k6 signature and the top of the line k10, and some past pmc models
Interestingly , years ago I put the Dynaudio D76AF and the Scan D7608 side by side w/o filter set the amp for mono and use balance knob for comparison ... believe me the Scan sounded like S.H.I.T. !!
Measurements do not tell the whole story!

No one here said SS D7608 is better than Dynaudio D76AF. Who knows, maybe D76AF is incredible speaker, but it's a technical forum and we all want to know what's the technical level of a specific speaker driver. In such a case the measurements are big part of a whole story🙂

Actually, measurements tell quite a compelling story why that somewhat plain test did give you that very result - the D76AF is pretty flat between 400 and 4000 Hz, while the D7608 has an arcing response.
What that sounds like is well known to anyone familiar with the appropriate charts of the effects of EQ.
Since both are, obviously, not meant to be used stand-alone, but as a piece of a whole puzzle, it makes rather little sense to look for the "sound" of an individual mid, much less to apply epithets to it.

D2708 may be rather useful after all, keep in mind when comparing that it includes no chamber, only a thin felt as dust protector where most other dome midrange I see include a chamber from factory which doesn't provide a real apples to apples comparison on the frequency response. The D2708 also has rather high Qts, so a small sealed chamber will provide a fair bit of lift to the response to make it more comparable to other dome midrange drivers.

I wonder what impact putting it in a suitable sealed chamber would have on the < 1kHz distortion. It might also be fun to see what an appropriately designed TL would do for it.
