xover help for hi-vi speakers
« on: 14 Jun 2003, 05:30 pm »
Hello all,
Does anyone have any experience with the F series kevlar HI-VI speakers? I'm looking at using the f10 woofer and the f6 as a mid with a planar tweeter. I was originally thinking of using a prefabed 2nd order xover network but now considering going the DIY route.

A friend built a pair using the D series 8" woof, the F 6" mid and the RT2 planar tweet. He went with 3rd order x-overs using alpha core inductors and solen caps. Turned out very well. The drivers are very well integraded and I think if you dropped the extra coin for higher quality caps such as maybe auricaps they would sound even smoother. Can't remember where the mid takes over, but the high pass x-over is 1.9k.

mark,
that is pretty close to what I'm using. I definitely want to bi-wire and was looking at doing a separated bass cabinet. I cant remember whos they were but I saw some in the gallery here that I want to model mine after. Has anyone had any experience with the acoustic reality xover design? I'm defintely going with cream of the crop parts if I build from scratch
