I have been building loudspeakers for quite some time now (fifteen years!?) and has usually been crippled by limitations of the listeners HiFi cave.
But now I have been given some loose boundaries and I want to build a construction I have been working on for some years now.
I have measurement tools to do all common measurements and T/S parameters of drivers.
My loudspeaker constructions have so far been built on some very good experience with the following drivers:
High range:
1 x Scan-Speak R2904-700000, 1” Dome. (approx. 7kHz-x, 6db/octave).
Upper mid-range:
1 x Accuton C2 44/8, 2” ceramic driver. (approx. 1,5KHz-7KHz, 12dB/octave).
Lower mid-range:
? (approx. 100Hz-1,5KHz, 12dB/octave).
Bas:
Scan-Speak 1 x 26W8861T00 (approx. x-100Hz, 12-24dB/octave).
or
Peerless XXLS (830847) (approx. x-100Hz, 12-24dB/octave).
The working frequencies are only guidelines so far but I would like to find a pretty broadband middle range driver. From the above you can see it is a four-way loudspeaker I am aiming for.
Each of the drivers has some qualities I really like. I am not entirely set on the Scan-Speak 26W8861T00 yet (in closed enclosure). If I go for it I will probably use two on each side. But two 12” Peerless XXLS (830847) in each side is scheduled for testing as a possible replacement (closed enclosure).
I already have acquired the drivers listed above but I am having problems deciding on what to use as lower mid-range… SOMEONE HELP!
I have these drivers lying around and just waiting to be tested:
Audio Technology 6”
Audio Technology 8”
Scan-Speak 18W8531G00
But I am not sure if one of these drivers can do the proper job or I have to go for a different driver. Off course it would be nice to be able to use one of the drivers I already have in possession, but if there is some driver out there that does a better job then perhaps that’s the way I should go (?)
So after all this chit chat it all comes down to;
Which lower midrange (high-end!) driver can YOU recommend?
And for the bas; Scan-Speak 26W8861T00 or Peerless XXLS (830847) bas driver?
