Re: Euphonic Compression

H, Joey:

Thanks for the tips! I'm designing a range of 5-6 standmounts and 1-2 floorstanders, all with minimum 95dB senstivity, using a variety of woofers and tweeters:

Eminence Alpha 6 and 8, Beta 8cx and 10cx - custom doped
Eminence custom spec'd 8 and 10" - rubber surround, resin impregnated pulp cone with kevlar fibers
PHL 1240, 2460, 3451, and 3020 - stock drivers

Peerless 95dB dome tweeter with 1" deep waveguide
Eminence APT50 phenolic compression driver
Morel HD series high-efficiency tweeters
Raven 1, 2, and 3 ribbon tweeters

In my prototypes, the uncompressed transient peaks from the woofers are fine, it is in the treble where I want to tame things down a bit on the highest 1-2% of the transient peaks, so I'm looking for something I can do in the crossover . . . I don't want to dope the HF diaphragms, due to lowered resonance frequency and rolled-off HF response. So I'm looking for caps or resistors, maybe even a coil somehow in a non-standard topology to limit the highest HF peaks . . .

The voice coil winding configuration sounds promising, but I don't have small enough fingers or skill sets to rewire tweeter coils, and the Ravens don't use voice coils.

Thanks for your help, rdb :-)
