...a tweak to the Metronomes that has improved their performance.... You are pushing towards my approach to adding a superTweeter. I dispense with the L=Pad all together, instead using the attenuation of the 1st order XO to bring the tweeter in line with the FR. This only works with FR that hit at ...

Really? :shock: I thought Scott's uFonkens were magnificent, time to do a little reading I think. They are. I was shocked (and happy, i was worried about the new one being up to the standard set by the old one) to hear the differences we heard. Scott will be getting a set of the new drivers, and ma...

Performance is stepped up for sure. So is build difficulty == prbably no big deal for you. I am developing a full slate of these enclosures for A7/CHR/CHP/EL70/FF125/A10/FF165 and will likely have a go at the FF225 too. A12 was the 1st and has been around for awhile and was the 1st. For the smaller ...

What I'd like to see is how the rest of this nicely built range of drivers works in the smaller cabs, very well I would imagine. The new FF85wk is a decided step up from the already VERY good FF85k. Some of you may remmber the set of uFonken that Scott brought to one of the events. The new larger u...

I'm sure if DaveD of Planet10 is following this thread he may be able to comment with greater authority on Fostex drivers. I'm watching. The more i see posted, the more i think that colin is fighting the material these are built of... the last bit about how the sand affected the sound has me pretty...

I have no disagreement there. What i supposed to be implicit in what i was saying was that the MA wasn't suited to this application

Adding the series R both reduces its level and pushes the XO frequency up.

Colin,

The sibilance is probably from XOing the tweeter too low without enuff filter.
