Hi all!
I'm on the planning stages of a new (for the moment) MTMWW speaker, which has been constantly changing in its design (see, Jon? You aren't the only one with 3 projects running at any given time! )
For the moment, I've settled on a pair of RS125's as mids, an RS28, and a pair of RS225 woofers. Which is what I have now.
I've been intrigued about the recent PE sales thread and Zaph's RS52 tests. I'm aiming for about 88 ~ 89 dB's sensitivity with full baffle step. A pair of RS125's will barely get me there. A single RS52 has sensitivity to spare.
Then again, I'd assume a pair of 4" woofers, properly crossed over to the woofers may have an extra bit of dynamics.
But... the RS52 will be simpler, the cabinet can be smaller, and off-axis dispersion will be better. Plus, the crossover points can be shallower (since I'd have to cut the 125's quite quickly in order to avoid cone break-up).
As it is, I *think* a wise decision may be to start all over again with a TMWW design, and keep the RS125's for another project. But I don't know if I'm overlooking something... I don't see many RS52 projects here, although there are a couple using the RS150 as a midrange driver.
