I find the sound of phenolic diaphragms sounds smoother and more natural in the mids than the titanium ones do. The tradoff is in extension. The phenolic diaphragms roll off in the high frequencies, where the titaniums can go to 20k in some drivers. Since you want to use tweeters as well, that is not a problem. I found that even where the drivers extend to 20k or so, if you are using a horn that allows a 500Hz crossover, then the highs beam so much that you need a tweeter anyway, just to get decent dispersion, so I prefer to go for the smoother midrange of the phenolic driver. The D150 phenolic tweeter works well, if the 60 degree pattern is satisfactory. I use the D405 bi-amped, crossing over at 5k passively to the D150. The D150 rolls off above 16k or so (typical of phenolic tweeters), but my hearing is only good to about 13k now, so no problem for me. The link is good, and drivers are in stock. Just to keep things ligit, its my site.
