DIY Loudspeaker Projects with Discontinued Drivers
The following DIY Speaker Projects use drivers that are now discontinued:
Are you sure these are meant to be run full-range? Most people are using them as woofers so far as I can see.I can't see specs for them but I would expect most 10in drivers capable of moving air would need a bit of damping factor to keep them under control hence general unsuitability of low power SET. This is regardless of efficiency specs. Don't be fooled into thinking that you have lots of treble, the very top note of the piano is only 4 khz, everything above that is about harmonics, which are critical in providing realistic sound.Id go for a nice EL84 push pull, 12w or so (lots of options from Leak to Leben).
I'd also think of adding a lower-than-normal stretching supertweeter to care of harmonics from 4khz upwards. No driver satisfactorily does the range you quote without distortion at one end or the other.I've got a good quality pair of supertweeters I was planning on selling cheap.Sent from my BLN-L21 using Tapatalk. Yes I also found David Dicks very helpful. He even trusted me with his plans so I could get quotes for a cabinet build. As ten inch full rangers go, the mega scarce and highly prized Coral Beta 10 from Japan are regarded by many as 'The Holy Grail'! They stopped making those nearly forty years ago.i just bought a pair of Lii audio fast 10, if I could post a pic you couldsee how they look like coral. Sound bloody lovely.I can't hear anything above 12Khz so not a problem if a driver is being questioned for its frequency extension.
My mate just got new hearing aids that are programmable to boost the frequencies he can't hear, damage from power tools. He now can't listen to his Oris horns with lowther drivers.
