Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Building a speaker, looking for opinions on set-up.

Read about your woofer choice here (scroll to bottom).

For the tweeter, I don't like the hump-then-dip combo centered just over 2k, where you'll notice the 3rd order harmonic distortion climbs up too. Could be the sign of internal reflections or something else going on. One user said that they had build quality issues with these as well, but that's just one source.

If you plan to do baffle step compensation, using 4 woofs in series/parallel, you might benefit from a more efficient tweeter as well.

Do you have a measurement mic and measurement suite? If not, I say get a kit. You can't go off of manufacturers response curves anyways.

Cheers,
Presto
