In Reply to: RE: $1,000 and even a $1200 Dollar 1.4 and 2" Compression Driver posted by B. Scarpia on May 06, 2023 at 08:55:35
Parts Express has some discounts. The Celestion reviews have peaked my interest as one person was using JBL 2441s which would be a drop in for my Edgar Horns. I'd surely like to see the response curve. If it really went all the way up to 20K, I could sell my Fostex super tweeters to pay for the compression drivers.

Follow Ups:
Separate tweeter should always be better than forcing 8K+ out of a mid horn, regardless how good the driver is.
My Edgars start falling off around 8K. I never liked Bruce's choice, but it needs a super tweeter. The Fostex T500 fills it in nicely for me.

"I'd surely like to see the response curve. If it really went all the way up to 20K..."Yes, this is the driver used in the Heritage Jubilee that was released last year by Klipsch. More in the link below.

"Still Working the Problem"
If I reading this graph correctly, the Celestion is down 10db at 7Khz and -20db at 20khz.

probably pretty 2441-esque in that respect.
That 140 dB midband SPL is terrifying though! ;)

PS I use 2441s on EMILAR EH500-2 horns myself, FWIW.
all the best,

You would need some severe PEQ's on those drivers to get them up that high.
On the Co Axial B&C's (with tweeters build in) I just got factory passive networks but have yet measure. NO eq required with the right stuff.

They are the real deal and unlike the bms, the stock xover is pretty good.
