[QUOTE="thadman, post: 2428713, member: 561122"] The main purpose of this thread is to determine whether or not a ribbon tweeter will sound awesome and compliment my system to the pinnacle of perfection. If the HDS will sound better, than im content with that. I've just heard people raving about ribbons and since I found a good deal, maybe theyd work for me and sound bounds better than conventional domes:D The midrange does not need to reproduce anything on the low-end. It will be placed on a 24" baffle (560hz) so between 560-280 it will have a 6dB+ rise in efficiency due to both waves combining in phase. The baffle will cause a pretty severe rolloff after 280hz, and im working that into the design as an advantage to compliment my active crossovers. Im not looking for any more response below that, and am not going to limit my speaker choice with amplifier requirements. The W18E seems like an amazing driver and can do wonders with the right amount of power, I will have plenty for it:D If the tweeter requires a lot of power, than I will provide it, but with a driver with a 100dB+ sensitivity I believe Im going to reach diminishing returns when a $30 t-amp will work 95% as well. Will the Fountek NeoCD2.0/AC G3 sound phenomenal crossed at 1.6khz w/ LR8s? I dont want my system to sound strained, and they will need to fit in with the design of the system. [/QUOTE]
