Here Are The Specs Re: Do you think they would run up to 250 hertz well?

Hi Russ,

I have the same question, since I'd like to experiment, and crossover to the DAYTON IB385-8 somewhere between 200Hz and 500Hz. I'd like to crossover as high as possible (great sound being the first priority), to unburden the fullrange/SET that covers the higher frequencies.

Here's a link to the overview:

and the spec sheet:

To my eyes, it looks like the response is smooth to about 700Hz, where it takes a dive. Whether it sounds good up there is another question. The response looks reasonable.

Would beaming be a problem? I know nothing but the broadest theory--that a speaker beams as the wavelength approaches its diameter. 500Hz has a wavelength of about 2', so that's getting close to the 15" diameter. So how severe would that be?

Has anyone used this speaker?

Best,

George
