Pair of R176-KVC-08 drivers for sale. New

Gowa

I got a pair of R176-KVC-08 drivers for sale. New
We had intentions to produce a kit with these that didn't come to fruition. The drivers are in the eastern states and rather than bring them back to Canada, I decided to offer them for sale.
$50 for the pair + shipping

So the RST28F design is dead?

Gowa

Sorry, but ya, it looks like it. We have others that are dying on the vine as well.

I'm trying to hook up with an alternative designer here in Canada to pick it up.
I know a few designers here in Canada, but they are professionals who are under contract and can't work outside of that.

What tweeter will you use?

PWRRYD

TBD

I was going to match them with the Dayton RST28F. Call it a hunch.

PWRRYD

I've only heard that tweeter once.  In that particular design I was very underwhelmed.

I will most likely use something better.  Maybe the DA25TX-08

Beast Mode tweeter. Not sure the "engineers" at Dayton have quite figured things out yet.

The Dayton RST tested quite well at AudioXpress I thought:

Unfortunately the distortion plots stop at 2kHz. One day Vance will get standard consistent testing figured out. 2kHz+ the distortion profile is dominated by 2nd order which looks very good to me. The frequency response, while not ruler flat, is actually quite favourable for my tastes. Keep in mind that AudioXpress response includes baffle diffraction, it isn't an IB response plot.

Yes, I've been looking at that one.
