Cheap but good 1" horn drivers?

216.99.208.125

Something equivelant to say, an Eminence PSD2002, but better than
the Goldwood knock-off. I can buy in qty.. Needs to x-over 1.2K
or lower, and go to 15K+, so Ti a plus. Needs to be $40. ea. or less.
No piezo's!!! :)

Pyle Pro PDS221 1" titanium driver, 800Hz-20KHz. These can be found for under $25 at Parts Express and other sources. I use a pair of them mounted to exponential horns in the system I use for home backyard and family parties. When I decided to put together the system, I looked for drivers that were inexpensive yet rugged and great sounding. I've received a number of compliments on system sound quality, and I think the drivers make an important contribution to that end result. BTW, in addition to 42 years as an audiophile, I was a mobile DJ for 11 years between the 1970s and 1980s. I�ve played everything from small house parties to large indoor and outdoor venues, and have some experience with sound reinforcement.

  Looking at under 50 qty. US distributer preferred. Was thinking
  low-end Selenium, or equiv. Not Pyle or Pyramid unless one is really
  recommended.

    You ask a lot for 40.00?
    
    At the site below there is a P Audio compression driver you can check out
    
    Click on H.F. driver button and toggle down the page to the first P audio
    compression driver
    It would put you under budget

      The goldwood could be good...it has a large magnet and
      VC, but they are real sloppy at centering the coil,,,which
      is tough because of the sloppy tolerances. Also the whole terminal
      assy. can pull out, taking the fine-wire leads with it, destoying
      the diaphram. I alway's glue the terminals first thing. The driver
      has potential...they're what I use now for replacing the blown cheaper
      horn drivers in cabs that I get in for repair. If I can find a
      better one for under $30., it would be great.

      Geez!
      Just scrolled down a bit on the link and stumbled across the Beyma CD10fe for $179.95!!!
      
      Over here it costs a much more realistic �37 (US$59).
