    RS225 or Hivi M8 below 300Hz in an OB

    The title kind of says it all. Which would you recommend below 300Hz in an OB? They'll be crossed to a sub at 80Hz or so.

    Unfortunately I sold my W22s, and don't feel like paying for another bunch of them.

    Aesthetically I like the HiVi.

    Thanks

    I would go for the RS225 for the very same reason, easthetics. If 300hz is your maximum maybe Seas H1208 is an alternative? Same nice open basket as the W22 but a longer xmax 7mm than any of the other units your considering. More expensive but maybe you can find them locally?

      I'd go for the RSS210HF if you can take the sensitivity hit and aren't running anything below it.

      I believe both have been used in the same basic design here, so both work well dipole till they run out of excursion.
