Tangbang and other high sensitivity tweeters

Anyone try the Tangbang RT-1516SA ribbon tweeter?

Also any detailed specs (real testing) of the Fountek NeoCD2.0M and NeoCD3.0M I would love to get.

a TB ribbon? Strange....I'm not sure you can get it yet.

Nick,

and Rick Craig may have the Fountek data you are looking for.

The RAAL 140 series tweeters may also be of interest. I have heard them in a few designs and they are excellent and priced accordingly.

Someone posted some tests (K&T?) of the big pro Fountek in John J's thread over at AVS about the MTM with the TD10Ms. Sorry, no link handy. Lower distortion than the little guys but it's pretty long so you have to accept limited vertical dispersion.

I tested the Fountek CD3.0 in my Lineup R4 and R44 design. You can see details in the Lineup thread in the Accomplished section. Should be on the first page.

Well after looking over everything I think its time to start molding my own CD horn lenses. Using the B&C on a 60 x 60 straight side CD lens about 15" square gives a 3dB window on and off axis from 1Khz to 18Khz. Need to see what a 10"-12" wide lens will do I guess.
