Well now that I do this I feel like I may have hyped it up too much for you guys //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif This is what I would call Phase IIa of my HT build, Phase I being the equip. acquisitions.

These will be the high-range drivers in my 2-way book shelves that I will be building in maybe a decade at the rate I'm going //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

My decision was based on the criteria that the tweeter could:

a) handle the power of my Forte amp.

b) play well above 20khz.

c) have a low Fs (lower than 1khz)

d) have a response as flat as possible in the audible range.

e) cost less than the $400+ per tweeter Scan-Speak R2904/7000 that I REALLY wanted //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

With that in mind I ended up deciding between a Fostex and a Vifa tweeter. I know, I know. The last thing I'd EVER want to get is a driver made by the company that gives tube geeks hope. I decided on the former because it offered better off-axis response and had a smoother run up to 20khz (they rated it's response all the way to 50k) than the Vifa.

As you see, I also obtained some de-flex pads for my enclosures if I ever get that far.

Don't worry, you can admit it...

the one way way is tempting...renounce those evil crossovers and embrace sonic purity...follow the true path of the believers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif
