RS series have a bit of price break but the HiVi stuff is super cheap! And the amp i bought a couple weeks ago is on sale 
-
Some nice stuff in the new flyer but they they are still out of stock of the one item I need the most: a pair of RS52's. For a while the in-stock date said Feb 23 on the website. I assumed that had some meaning but I guess not. That date came and went and now it says March 30. I get the feeling PE really has no clue when they will get them again, if ever.
Maybe I'll give the 9845 Usher 2" dome a try since it's on sale. It's still a little pricey though.
That D6.8 Hi-Vi that Jon likes is on sale now. -
Update: scratch that idea on the 9845 2" domes. I see no use at all for a 2" dome that has a 6" flange. Oh well, my 3.5 way goes back to waiting for the RS52's.Comment

A 3.5 way using the RS52?! Sounds exceedingly interesting. Might you be willing to divulge more info?Comment

Nope, it's a secret. :B DIY is saturated with RS52 designs right now, so I don't feel any need to put another one out there. I've wanted to try one for myself ever since I tested a borrowed pair a while ago.Originally posted by Paul Ebert
But anyway, I spoke too soon about RS52 stock. Just a half hour ago it popped back into stock. Get 'em while they're hot. I predict they will be back out of stock within 2 weeks. Now I can complete this design which has been pushed aside for months, so I can move on to designs that have been pushed aside for years.

Errrr, have you checked the size of the RS52 flange? If I'm not mistaken it's an OEM Usher, only a bit smaller, with a metal dome.Originally posted by jkrutkeComment

I would like to start building some DIY designs before too long....Maybe when one of the RS52 designs get finalized I will build it.Comment

AFAIK it's a Peerless India (no relation to Peerless Denmark and Tymphany).Originally posted by Dennis H

Edit: Doh. Josh beat me. Deleting my post. :B
But I will add it's a 5" flange, somewhat more suited to midrange use with less lobing.Comment

Oops, my mistake. Still, I don't see a lot of difference between a 5-1/8 and a 5-7/8 flange in the big scheme of things. They're both too big.Originally posted by jdybnisComment

What's the advantage of using something like the RS52 instead of... say, a 4" driver like the RS125 as a mid? Now that they are back in stock, I'm curious.Javier HuertaComment

RS125 range up to 2.5kish, more like 2K, so figure 300hz-2K useable range.Originally posted by fjhuerta
RS52 low distortion up to 4Kish but limited to a 600hz(ish) crossover so figure 800-4K useable range. The RS52 seems to have lower distortion where the ear is most sensitive, 1-5k and opens up many choices for tweeters. Ribbon, neo domes etc.

Don't forget that it keeps a wider dispersion than a 4" mid, allowing a more seamless off-axis integration with a tweeter. If crossed to a woofer with good dispersion up to 800 hz, you would have a fairly smooth directivity across the system's entire range.-Joe CarrowComment

They had some good price drops on HiVi stuff, too, so I've got some more D6.8's on the way.the AudioWorx

Thanks a lot!Originally posted by Jed
I have a 4 RS125's, but my MTMWW project is still far away from being built. It may turn out to be a TMWW with the RS52... I have to think about it.
Meanwhile... thanks for the tip on the PE sales. I just ordered 4 Dayton RS225 woofers and a pair of RS28A's (I really, really love that tweeter)...

$ 55.00 for D6.8. Too bad it only has 12 mounting holes.Comment
