Hello All!
Damn, did it again, Rammstein does no good to my woofers or my wallet... :M
Ive built and used a set of Khanspires for about 8months, and recently i did some rather expensive upgrades to the crossovers, the speakers was good before with Dayton caps and ordinary bipolar on bass. Upgraded with Jantzen Z-Silver and Z-Superior caps complete in mid and tweet section, and a combination of mundorf and jantzen crosscap on bass. Let me just say, the change in the audio where great, everything just opened up a lot more and sounded much clearer. Anyway, im really happy with them, but i got a big problem.. The RS225 just cant handle my abuse.. They just simply cant! Ive built a new amplifier, this one is capable of pushing out about about 350w at 4ohm, and till now ive blown 3pcs of RS225, and those really dont come to cheap.
So, does any one have a suggestion for a worthy replacement? Pricetag upto 200USD each as long as the coil can handle some abuse, and the sound is in the class and clarity of RS woofers or potentially better. Cone needs to have about same color as RS woofers or it will not be so good looking. It will need to fit the cabinet size and also the crossover.
I have looked at a couple alternatives:
Seas L22RNX/P H1252 - 125w RMS power handling, but i think it might be to little.
Morel H8.1 - 3" voice coil with 180w RMS powerhandling
Now, the Morel really is interesting, but it have 3.8db higher sensitivity, which would mean that it will take over much more of the sound and create imbalance? Or?
The Seas also have somewhat higher sensitivty(its measured in 2.83v/1m - Not the same as 1w/1m so im not sure how to compare the two sensitive-wise), and is recommended for passive cabinet.
Thanks,
Stian
