In Reply to: Could the PSD-2002 be $500 if it was made in Europe? posted by Bill Epstein on July 03, 2004 at 22:24:41:

Eminence could even give them a neat sounding European name. Then again, now days they are selling the Patriot and Redcoat series and some of those speakers have fancy names already.

Let me know when you're ready to get a pair and I'll fix you up. I think the PSD2002 is a pretty good sounding compression driver, especially for the money. You know me, I don't generally run 'em down low, but you're running low power and could probably get away with 800Hz. I just want to make sure that they stay together and good sounding even when pressed. I also like keeping crossover points out of the 200Hz-2kHz decade as much as possible. But the Type I Eminence 2039 and 2001 drivers worked just fine down at 1kHz with second and third-order slopes. I wouldn't push the power to a PSD2002 with a first-order crossover or one with a low crossover point. But if you're only hitting them with just a watt or something, you probably can get away with it.
