RE: Going active on Tympani 1Ds

500 Hz for tweeters may be a hard task, they have the thinnest wire of any Magneplanar type of driver. My old Tympani IIIA had the slightly thicker AWG 35 wire and came without fuses. As far as I remember they had resonances below 400 Hz or so. You could use the thinnest foil as used in the midrange drivers in the 20-series. That would increase the impedance to 8 Ohm for the tweeters. I use that foil on my Tympani IVa midrange drivers, which are even lower moving mass than the Tympani I-D tweeters. The T-IVa mids are far better to fill in between the basses and the ribbon driver than your I-D tweeters.

I would try to use the Tympani I-D without subs. I-D is really not that bad down to 30-35 Hz.
