OK, so I "won" a pair of Dayton RS mids yesterday at the Palm Bay DIY Event and am trying to get a handle on how I should use them. At first, I was wondering what the big advantage it would be using it over say the RS125 for a mid. The 125 would go lower obviously. But it looks like the mid would extend higher, possibly allowing for the use of a smaller 3/4" tweet, which should give me greater dispersion if I understand correctly.
Also, the mid is about 4.5dB more sensitive than the 125 so I'm thinking that would keep me from having to pad down the tweeter used, which keeps sensitivity higher. Am I correct in assuming that I could use something like dual RS150's in parallel to take care of baffle step and keep overall system sensitivity up in the 90dB range?
My thought process is that I could build a fairly slim tower that could be used in the formal living room, which will be Ashley's reading/sitting room and she can put on her music in there when she wants to get away from me and the kid!
So what do you guys think of this? These aren't necessarily something that'll get pushed overly hard so I'm not worried about max SPL's. We'll use my large 3-way towers for that purpose!
