I was at Parts Express getting ready to order parts for my 4Pi build and I noticed that they now offer the B&C DE250TN 1" Titanium Compression Driver 8 Ohm.
Wayne, which is the best driver to go with for the 4Pi?
I am guessing you have the 4Pi voiced with the original B&C DE250-8, what would the TN version bring to the table?
Thx,
Tom

All my speakers are designed to use the DE250-8. The titanium version may take more abuse, but it will have worse response due to breakup. The polyimide diaphragm provides better internal damping.
I have the DE250TN with poly diaphragm. I believe that makes it a standard DE250-8. But I'd like to experiment with making my 4 Pi's sound "brighter". Could I put the titanium diaphragms back in and then adjust the crossover? I'm hoping there's a way to try it out without major surgery. Remove or jumper a resistor?
Maybe a better question to start with would be: would the titanium diaphragm make the horn sound "brighter"?
