Hi All,
I recently gifted away a pair for Wayne 4Pi Speaker Cabinets and in return, the person gifted me a vintage set of ITT LPKM 130/50 2" mid-domes.
Look through my driver inventory, I realized I had a pair of Dayton Audio RS225S-8 (vintage shielded version) and Peerless DX20BF00-04 tweeters.
With the parts on hand, I proceeded to build a ATC lookalike mini-monitors, with offset dome mid and offset tweeter.
As I take measurements of the ITT (using sweeps via ARTA) - I hear some sort of resonance / odd tune to the sweep between 100hz -700hz, and thereafter the sweep sounds more normal. It sounds tube-y - if that makes any sense. Perhaps I can record in on my phone and upload to Youtube is that helps. One would have to listen for it using headphones.
The mid's resonance frequency is approximately 250, but despite crossing the mid at 800hz - I still hear it. I've even tried including a parallel LCR circuit to suppress the resonance, but I still hear it.
Can fellow forum members help me troubleshoot the issue? Let me know what measurements I can provide (e.g., distortion, near-field with and without LCR, CSD, etc.).
