[QUOTE="Jcsaudio, post: 8645251, member: 673752"] Very nice writup and thanks for taking the time to do that. Thanks to beak81champ for donating them for your subjective testing. I do not want to hyjack your thread, but would value your opinion in general about aluminum cone drivers. I think it’s generally related in topic but please say otherwise. So I’m wondering about aluminum cone drivers in general. As soon as I read that these were aluminum cone drivers, I took pause at any thought about buying them. Aluminum cone drivers seem to suffer from some harshness below their cone breakup nodes, even with a 24 db LR crossover. Now my experience is just with the Dayton ND series drivers so they are nothing special, but I cannot help noticing the listening fatigue over long listening periods that I experience with my Dayton’s over my Focal fiberglass cone or SB Acoustics Egyptian pulp paper cone drivers. My Dayton Audio ND140-4 5-1/4” drivers are LP at 2400 hz 24 DB LR and HP at 70 Hz LR for reference. Do you find that some or most aluminum cone drivers suffer from 2nd and 3rd order distortion that effects how they sound in the ranges I’m describing in general? Do you prefer a particular cone material or category over another and why? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
