Interesting. The FE166En appears to have a flatter response curve than the FE206En. Since low frequency response isn't much of a concern, I wonder if I might be better off with the smaller driver.

If you can stretch you budgets its a big step up from both fe206en and 166en
I could possibly do that. Would you recommend the cabinet shown, and do you think the high end would possibly be sufficient to make a Heil superfluous?
Thanks...
Could try it both ways see what you think. If you don't own Heils and still want a tweeter fountek makes good ones.
I don't have the Heils as of yet. I just remember them from years back, and was impressed at the time. Memory can be questionable as we all know, so I'm thinking I'd try it without and see if I can get by without them, since they'd add significantly to the cost of the project.
I'll look at the Fountek units. Thanks for the suggestion.
I was impressed when I the Heils too. If I remember correctly that they crossed them over a 2K. My only concern would be, that they are not cheap in their current iteration, and they are overkill for a supertweeter (IMO, YMMV). I would still expect them to sound very good in that capacity.

I believe you'd most likely need a super-tweeter with those drivers, but let's see what John K. has to say...
