I have a pair of these fitted with Radian 5208c coaxials. I'm building a new pair of speaker stands. Should the speaker stand height put the center of the coax at ear level? I'll be using spikes with a decent thread length so I will have a little flexibility with front and back tilt if necessary. Thank you.

Do you have a schematic for the crossover? I have the same drivers and am searching for a suitable crossover.

Regards,
John

I am still searching for a crossover for the Radian 5208c. I have tried a couple of variations borrowed from elsewhere but nothing that has been specifically designed for this driver. Does anyone have any suggestions?

It depends on the dispersion characteristics of the high frequency driver and on the acoustics of your room.

The more directional the HF driver is, and the more "dead" your room, the more important it is to aim the driver toward a particular listening "area".

The goal should be a desirable balance between direct sound quality and ambient sound quality.

I am now using a crossover from the defunct Hemp Acoustics C08V and it sounds pretty good. I am open to suggestions for improvement.
