I wonder if it might sound even better sans whizzer-cone and with

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

a dipole planar tweeter off a series film/oil cap.

? I've never really liked the sound of whizzer cones, except those with a felt or other absorptive backing. Like the Wharfdale RS8DD? and a Goodmans or two.

And then you add a big (15 -18") high Qts & Low Fs dipole bass driver!

;-)!

And then a 3-way using a smaller WR middle driver looks more rational, covering say 100-200 to 3-4K.

;-)

You - could - still have 1st order xovers, and would have to angle the baffle back.

Wouldn't be as affordable, but it might sound as good and might play a lot LOUDER off just a few watts.

Hi Stace!!
