In Reply to: Adding tweeter to 8" full range? posted by robertpeterson56 on June 19, 2016 at 11:41:11:
Hello Robert,
For about eight years I was using Sachiko double-back-loaded horns. I used these with various Fostex ---{FE206E, FE206ES-R & FE208ES-R}--- a Lowther DX4 and in the end the one I though sounded best a Dayton PS220-8 w/Rispoli modified cones. These "wide-range" drivers all had tweeters that I started with 12dB slopes, but changed after 2 years to a 6dB slope. I crossed the tweeters with a 6dB slope in at 8KHz so by 16KHz it matched in nicely with whatever the 8" "wide-range" driver I was using.
While others might disagree I attempted to keep the "wide-range" driver I was using and the tweeter's sensitivity ratings as close as possible. The tweeters I used were in chronological order:
1) Large dipole ESS Heil
2) Pioneer HW-7 ---{I think these are wonderful sounding, especially if you could locate them for $36/pr like this pair sold for on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Pioneer-HW-7-Horn-Tweeters-Super-Tweeter-Rare-/161850106996}
3) The best I heard in my system Fostex T900a.
I hope that info helps you in some small way.
