    New Dayton Euro style drivers

    I saw over the weekend that Parts Express now has new Dayton "Euro" series drivers. I thought I'd ask the Poobas what they thought of them. At least just from the initial specs and response curves posted.

    Dayton Euro drivers

    Xmax is a little lower than I'd like to see. Also it needs some slashes in the cone..........

      Thomas,

      You lost me with the slashes on the cone thing. I know the new Revelator woofers have those but what is the purpose?

        Just joking....................

        I guess the slashes make the Rev sound better, don't really know for sure since the Revs are too small in diameter for my consideration.

        Maybe someone should buy some of the "Euro" units and do DIY slashing ;zx

          Brian, I clicked on your link and PE returned a " ...your Part Number/Keyword search entry has returned "0" results."

          Thomas, very funny! :LOL: You've invented a new tweak: cone slashing!
          I envision an "Audio Xpress" article and ensuing debate on things like number of slashes, length of slash, instrument of choice (razor blade, scapel, Xacto knife) and location of slash relative to cone diameter. The heck with interconnect debate, let's talk cone slashes :thanku:

            Slashing/cutting the cone certainly isn't my invention.

              Thomas,

              Thanks, I thought maybe you didn't like me and were giving he the business! :LOL: I'll leave the driver slashing to you and Jon since you guys are the Poobas after all. I was mainly wondering if these drivers would exhibit the same issues in XO design that the Scan-Speaks apparently do. I thought maybe one of you could tell that by looking at the response curves posted since I'm not quite up to speed with that stuff yet. I'm learning though!

              Hank,

              I don't know why it doesn't work. When you click on Thomas' link the same URL comes up. Anyway, YGM.

              Brian

                Was that a little DIY levity? here I thought you guys were so serious all the time. Dry, like a good martini. :rofl:

                  Lex, at least you caught my humor. Yes, I've seen the "slashed cone" drivers before.

                    Okay, clean it up, guys! I've heard quite enough discussion about Yak foreskins, thank you! :rf

                      Dennis,

                      You know how those Texans are. For some reason they seem to think about cattle an awful lot. 8O

                          And Georgians think about sheep quite a bit...
                          And the special cone material from Tibet that has cuts is from Jewish Yaks.

                          Okay boys, steer this thing back onto something to do with speakers before the lurkers think we're nuts. :bluezoned:

                            Hank,

                            Only if the sheep have blonde hair and blue eyes! Actually, I expected you to say Georgians constantly think of aluminum cone drivers!

                            And I started this damn thread so I think I'll dictate the direction of it as long as the Poobas don't shut me down. That means Pete is free to harass you even more. I've been too nice to you lately anyway so I figure I'll enlist his help to get me back up to speed! 8)

                              The frequency response curves remind me a lot of some of the earlier pulp cone ScanSpeak drivers (that's the intent, I suspect). But, that implies they have similar issues to those Scanspeak drivers.

                              Wonder why they didn't publish the impedance curve? :k>'>
