Has anyone Accuton C168-9-470 driver measurements?

Wanting to use it for a while. The only thing that bugs me about it is it looks to have a dip in the lower midrange

Hi Bill,

Here are real measurements...

Curt crossed over to the AST2560 at 2.3K. If you have an interest in looking at the crossover, design etc. send me an email ( jim at jholtz dot us ) and I'll send you a pdf file with all of the information. We don't have it posted on Curt's website yet.

Here's a link to my Bordeaux album; Bordeaux | Flickr

Thanks Jim, I will pick up a pair when I go back to UK in april. Not sure if I'm pushing it by crossing to the new viawave ribbon. Maybe a 3rd order wd work.

I'm not sure how low the new Viawave ribbon will cross but the C158 works best 2.5K or below. it isn't a driver you want to push too high due to the 4K breakup. If the crossover is right, it is simply a superb sounding driver in our opinion. Curt said the Bordeaux is the best sounding design he's done. It's certainly the best I've owned/heard.

Good luck!

Jim
 
I hadn't worked with C173-6-197 but did with C220-6-227. These drivers share the same motor. C220-6-227 is very, very good driver, much better than other Accuton's ferrite motor drivers. This motor is the first of Accuton motors which has conducting ring in the motor, so low distortion. I think, C173-6-197 has the same properties.
