    Extended range dipole mids

    Someone has emailed me about the choice of midranges in a 3 way dipole. He wants to cross over at 120Hz and 2500Hz (to a plasma tweeter).

    Anyone have any suggestion for a mid that can cover that kind of range and still handle dipole EQ? My only thought was a pair of Jordan JX150s.

    Cheers

    Plasma tweeters generate ozone gas. It may be interesting to watch the flame but the results of operating the tweeter aren't very healthy.

    Just say no to the whole idea........

      Health hazards aside, aren't some people crossing the Seas W18 as high as 2500? Over on the Mad board, Jim Salk is pretty happy with his latest W18EX/ESG2 with a Murphy 2500 XO. You'd need a notch filter and steep slopes to cross that high. You also might need a pair of drivers to get good volume at 120, although a single would be louder than a pair of Jordans.
