Hi Wayne. I've been looking into upgrading my front three mains for my theater and have been looking into the Pi4 for some time now. I was wondering though if instead of the JBL midbass I could use an alternative. I have lots of interest in the TD15M from Acoustic Elengance. Seems to me that it could have superior performance to the JBL and is priced around the same.

Here's the T/S for the AE TD15M:

Fs: 34.7Hz
Qms: 5.09
Vas: 312L
Cms: .3mm/N
Mms: 70g
Rms: 3kg/s
Xmax: 6mm
Sd: 855
Qes: .35
Re: 6.6
Le: .2mH
Z: 8ohm
Bl: 17Tm
Pe: 500W
Qts: .33
1W SPL: 97.8dB

Do you know if these would work with your Pi4 crossover?

The Re is a little different so that might skew it the most. The Xmax, Fs, power handling, sensitivity are all very close. The inductance is much, much lower on this AE driver though. I provided a link to the rest of the TD series T/S specs and a picture of the frequency response of the TD15M. It is said to be very usable off axis to 2khz and on axis to 4khz.

Thank you.

Hello Wayne! Thanks for replying so fast.

I wasn't sure or not if you would tell if it would work with your crossover for the Pi4. I don't know anything about designing crossovers but I do know how they work.

Here's the measured impedance if that helps at all...

Thanks again Wayne for the reply. One way or another, I hope to be a Pi4 owner soon.
