In Reply to: All factors even which is better metal or soft domes? posted by audiophile36 on August 26, 2004 at 12:55:08:
The ridgitity of the hard domes requires careful attention to your crossover and a lot of experimentation. Balancing and voicing your system with a hard dome should be done at the listening chair...as balancing with any crossover IMVHO.Soft textile and silk domes are much more forgiving with crossovers but have a tendency to "break up" at lower frequencies and cause a smearing of the sound. If you are going to use a soft dome, I like to see them with an acoustic lens or waveguide attatched to get the pistonic benefit for lower frequencies and give a good behavioural response due to increased sensitivity.
If you have the patience to adjust and try many different crossover schemes (give yourself months not days) you can really do best with a hard dome. The crossover can eleiminate any ringing..and I prefer a series crossover with a hard dome actually.
