Possibly of interest to those looking for a high end solution at more of a midrange price (of course, everything is relative, including those adjectives...)
Components are in the lab and testing under way, after careful selection...
Motus UH165PW1 - the 165 refers to the cone diameter, not the frame diameter- actual frame size is approximately 18.5 cm.
Key characteristics:
- FEA optimized Underhung voice coil motor
- Dual shorting rings for flat impedance curve, low inductivity modulation distortion
- Aerodynamic frame design with minimal acoustic shadowing
- Pressed paper cone with minimal resonance at any frequency
- 89 dB Sensitivity for 2.83VRMS
- Fs = 33.8Hz
- Optimum Sealed Q of 0.707 with 0.48 cu ft, 1 cu ft for MTM (standard NatalieP)
- Optimum Vented QB3 alignment with 0.9 cu ft (approx 2 cu ft for NatalieP)
Tweeter is planned as the Scanspeak D2904/7100, well known to most of us here.
Excellent performance, and repairable...
Yes, I am certain the the Millenials will be saying that this is about 10 years late for a dual 7" MTM, but yet the configuration is not without merit, and drivers and other technologies take time to evolve....
This will be developed with a new generation of components and techniques, compared with the original classic. How that works out will be interesting to see... most interesting.
