The problem with most cone drivers intended for wide-band mid range use, is the dust cap. There are a few mid-range specific drivers that use a nice, cool looking phase plug, but the ones that are hi-efficiency don't do very well in the lower mid range.
The dust cap buzzes and contributes to that nasty "cone cry" sound, like a flock of geese heading south for the winter.
I have researched mid range drivers for quite a few years now. I stumbled upon the DS-18 brand and am wondering the same thing. For what it's worth, I have had very good luck with the Tang Band W8 series of drivers--
of which there are only 2 models I can attest to- the 1772, and the 1808.
While these are superb performers, they are somewhat expensive. You would think a major driver manufacturer could come up with a driver, in the 6.5 inch size that incorporates a phase plug. I wonder who makes the Parts Express house brand with those super sharp pointed plugs ?
