In Reply to: RE: Love the sound of the GPA 902's posted by Hornlover on August 03, 2015 at 07:41:34
Bill at GPA told me the same thing.
Mine are dropping out a lot sooner in room, but I need to take some on-axis measurements to get a better idea.
If I could find a solution for the top octave, then I would probably be ok with the 808's.
Follow Ups:
use the 808's but add the Beyma CP25 Bi-radial horn that will cover the rest of the upper end. They say these match well with the Altecs and JBL's.
But if a true 2 way is what you want then maybe the 902's are the way to go!
Yeah, it seems like a few people are using the Beyma tweeters.
PE also as a lot of high efficiency compression drivers, perhaps one of those and a small horn lens would be OK.
Or I could see how the H812/D250P works as a tweeter before laying out any more cash.
The Daytons are nice sounding but I did experience something when I was evaluating those drivers. I was playing some Diana Krall and during the guitar solo I heard some break up from the guitar. At first I was like "wow, never heard that before" and thought the driver was just picking up something from the recording of the guitar amp breaking up. When I turn the volume down, the break up went away.
After I received the GPA 902's, I went back to the same recording and that break up was not there. So it turned out to be the Dayton D250P. This was Xover @ 1.5Khz so it should have been well within it's range of operation. This was a 1st order Xover that I was using with it. It could be that some compensation or different xover point could have fixed this. Other than that, I was happy with the sound of Dayton D250P just a thinner sounding CD compared to the GPA 902's.
