Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

RE: Wiring autoformer as HF attenuator

if you had a woofer tester or similar, you could directly measure the reflected impedance

here's Bob Crite's two way "first order" network for Eminence's Beta8cx with a Selenium D210ti compression driver. The required 12dB attenuation dropped the needed capacitor value to ~0.44uF for a nominal 3KHz crossover. That's nice as exotic caps would be more affordable. IIRC those autoformers used to sell for around $35US each and have 1dB steps - I think they have enough power handling for most "Klipsch style" situations.
