I have experiance with Focal 7K4211DB, Kevlar midrange but is quite expensive. Another one i had built my Watt/Puppy clones with is Seas CB17RcY. Paper cone with phase plug. The same driver Wilson used in his Cub, that is also a MTM design. Good Luck!
Driver suggestions for DIY project
I'm getting ready to build a set of monitors and need fairly effecient drivers for my Cary 2A3 15 wpc push-pull amp. I'm considering an MTM configuration with 5" or 6" mid-bass drivers. I don't need drivers with low base for this set-up. What I want is wide dispersion in all the drivers with efficiency of at least 89db.
I have decided on the Hiquophon OW1 tweeter but need mid base driver suggestions, or at least want to know what graph or Thiel-Small parameters I should look for to compare drivers. Others on this board have suggested that dispersion is mainly a function of driver size and crossover frequency. I'm designing the system to crossover at 2500 hz.
I have heard good things about the Focal mid-base drivers as well as PHL. PHL's are real efficient mainly due to to paper cones.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
