I went on the Eminence website today and noticed they have some new product out! The two units in particular that caught my interest were the Magnum 12" and the new ASD:1001 compression driver. It's nice to see they have a new compression driver, but I'm somewhat dissapointed about the direction Eminence has taken with this new unit. I was expecting a larger format compression driver with a 2" exit. Instead, the model seems to be largely similar to the PSD-2002. It has a "diamond titanium" diaphram which peaks my curiosity, but other then that, I don't know! It has superior high frequency output to the 2002 but inferior low end extension (Eminence recommends minimum xover of 2.5 kHz).
One thing I am impressed by is the Magnum 12". Overall, looks like a very solid driver, with frequency response linearity that puts the other Magnums to shame (presuming the graph is accurate). Looks like a promising driver.
Any thoughts or experience with these new offerings anyone?
Also, had one other side question... The Kappa and the Kappa Pro... I always thought the difference was a cast basket and some slightly tweaked t/s specs. Someone told me the Pro has a shorting ring built into the motor. Is this true>?
