Illuminati (1st Degree)

Hate to disagree with you, but I must. I've been using the Hawthorne Silver Iris 15 OB Coaxial driver now for many months. This high Q driver sounds fantastic with no eq of any kind, driven by a modest PP tube amp (22 watts triode). The baffle need be only about 22 inchs wide, no wings needed. Bass is flat to just below 50 Hz with usable output to about 40 Hz. Mids are reproduced in a pleasing and natural fashion. It'll play loud and have lots of impact. I heard one in a much larger room than mine and the sound was as good as anything I've ever heard. Just a simple narrow baffle with the driver installed. Quick and inexpensive, one amp and no eq.

Before this, I used vintage high Q EV drivers in OB. Sounded great down to the 80 Hz baffle cut-off.

Nobody would ever call call any of these drivers slow or distorted. The sound was very good, and the cost downright cheap!
