badman, interesting suggestion. However, I already don't like the idea of all that midrange noise being stored in the cavity they already have, let alone making it smaller. I suppose you could be correct though...that increasing the volume might lower the output in the 700 to 900 Hz range. Then again, that seems like it only means that the internal resonances are contributing to the output (via being delayed and re-radiated out through the dome), which is definitely not what I want.

I've run into seemingly the same problem with the Morel MDM 55 I planned on using in a less costly center channel speaker project. The chamber on the MDM is very thin metal and plastic, and vibrates terribly with only maybe 10 watts peak...so it seems like making a larger, layered MDF wood chamber might alleviate or lessen the loud echo in the chamber.

Your idea about selling the Esotars doesn't really appeal to me. You're suggesting I buy something larger...like what, a cone midrange? Or are you referring to a 3 inch dome midrange?

I already have many other speaker projects I have yet to build, all of them using a cone midrange or midwoofer as the midrange. So selling the Esotar 2 inch domes, definitely does not make sense. I like their sound quality too much. I mean, if I could get a few million for them, then maybe...but otherwise, no...haha.

I do thank you very much for your input, though! By the way, what sort of crossover design equipment do you use?

Normally I'd say if within one octave of FS, steep 18 or 24db, but dynaudio often can be pushed. - Edp 09:40:04 06/04/12 (4)

that may well be...however... - CarlEber 12:03:09 06/05/12 (3)

I would first attempt your theory on a cheaper mark, I don't think it will do what you wish. - Edp 11:03:24 06/06/12 (0)
