Hi I am looking to start my 3rd projct a 3 way design. My first project was the fostex fe206e in a ported box. Using 13-ply-plywood.
To bright and up front. The 2nd projct is the 2 way stand towter for
my dad usindg the same wood 2 sand chambers in the box one on top
and one on the bottom dead box. I used a sea's soft dome and a
silver flute 6 1/2 woofer very nice sounding it get's my 10. It sounds
warm so it matches the soft dome perfect. I want ot build a 3 way
speaker. I am looking at a ribbon tweeter like the ravens. I wan to
have the high's sound like my maggies mg 12's I have. But tone down
the sound stage a little. Sold them because the midbass and bass
was making a buzzing noise and rattleing. The company said beats them
they never heard such thing with teir speakers come on I no joe smoe.
Well That's the top end part. The midbass looking for a 7 inch drive.
Here are the one's I am looking at- Scan speak 18w/8545k carbonfiber/
paper woofer- usher audio 8945a-seas excel w118ex-001-e017-eton-7-372/
32lh-accuton-c95-t6 - fostex-fw-168hp-never heard the morel brand
but, looking at the nm-267,8 inh the only one that is an 8 inch
driver or one more the new 6 1/2 aura sound. I have read it is a
killer of a speaker. Now I want my mid's to be relaxing and natural
and have micro details and never bright or in your face. I can play
( ALL TYPES OF MUSIC ) I mean that to be the truth. Most speaker I
bought can only play a couple music types well not All. I Am looking
a low bass driver maybe 12ichs to 15 inch. I saw the fostex w300all
and w400all -usher audio -15hm speakers or how about the bully-15
and ev-evx-180b or jbl-2226h or 2241h drivers. I am looking for a
natural sounding low bass driver. When I tested the fostex driver in
a open baffle before the box it had the most natural bass I had ever
heard and still does in my mind. No over hanging of bass notes or
to much bass in your face just right. Please let me know what you
think? No it is not a b&w 801 or copying off them in a total diffrent
dirction. If you have used or konw some one please e-mail me or with
helpful tip or just queations? Thanks jm
