A tower with 3x 7" drivers would be badass.

Wolf

Basically a Peerless XLS10! It's about normal price a decade ago though....

Mitchell_Cote

Be still my heart!  The 7" Vifa woofs may go quick.  Evan at those prices.

In this case he was displaying SHELFcontroll. 

You are welcome.

Well yes, sort of.  The Tang Band W5-1138SM are not very sensitive at all.  They will play pretty low in a not so big of an enclosure but need a lot of power.  So basically no need for the TC10 that are really sensitive for such a small driver.  I have way more TC9's on my shelf than I need and love how theu sound.  I also have some really good small format tweeters that can play low enough to pull off a hybrid OB project.

Aw come on.... how can you refuse paper products!?!

Given the age of these buyouts, I worry about cone sag but I am still tempted. However, given that my current situation is exacerbated by an utter devastation of my companies revenue and a 20% paycut we are taking in order to get and stem the hemorrhage of cash - I'll pass. My birthday is in June, I accept early gifts of a pair of the 10" and six of the 16 ohm round frame 7", however.

Some interesting new buyouts at PE.
Think I will resist the "vifa/scans" - but the MB Quart tweeter looks nice. Anybody heard/tested those?

Seen those and was wondering the same.  Way back in the car audio days, mb Quart were sweet.    

jr@mac

There are probably better ways to spend $40 on a tweeter these days. They are a cool looking piece, though. 

rjj45

Thanks JR  - even in a haze of opiods, your discernment is unclouded. 

Wolf

Last I knew- the 'Quart stuff was made either by LPG or Peerless India. The LPG stuff is decent, but the PI could be hit or miss.

PWRRYD

Good price on the little BC25SC55-04 today.  I've used it and liked it crossed around 3k.

dcibel

Regular price on the round version with higher sensitivity and flatter response is $1.80ea more.

jr@mac

If you need the truncated frame, that is a solid choice.

I prefer this one:

https://www.parts-express.com/peerless-by-tymphany-bc25tg15-04-1-silk-dome-tweeter--264-1040

I have used it as low as 1800 with impedance comp, I used a L-Pad. 

dcibel

If you need a truncated frame, I recommend splurging on the D26.

https://www.parts-express.com/peerless-by-tymphany-d26nc56-06-1-fabric-dome-tweeter-6-ohm--264-1454

The D26 also doesn't appear to be glued to the faceplate like the BC25, instead the tweeter is clamped to the faceplate, making a faceplate replacement, waveguide installation, or installing it directly to the baffle a viable option.

jr@mac

MOQ: 1000 pieces. Maybe a group buy.

It is a better tweeter, though. 

dcibel

That's too bad, it didn't used to be a high MOQ part. Only 1 in stock at Solen

Kornbread

I need a tweeter, preferably <$20, that will work in a 3-way; 8"woofer/4"mid, and sound good.  Suggestions?  

dcibel

What is the midrange? You're looking for a small format tweeter, or is standard 104mm okay? Stretch your budget to $27 and the DA25 is a bargain for a large format tweeter. NE25 is a good small format tweeter, but I might steer clear from ordering that from PE as they've had nothing but issues shipping those, too many horror stories of people receiving damaged parts that were essentially tossed loose in a ziplock bag for shipping. Haven't heard of shipping issues with those from other vendors.

BC25 will certainly do the trick, it's one of the okayest tweeters available, and the price is right.

Wolf

Agreed, okay is the best description. KB, I really liked the ND28F and ND25F. Pick for range, 28 plays lower.

jr@mac

If your mid is a wide band 4-5", you are on a budget, and you are not not targeting high sensitivity, that little Peerless 3/4" is all of $8 right now.

Need to add a few more items for free s&h and wanted to bounce this off you guys.  As I am now unemployed, money is a concern. 

To mate with the 299-320 4" and dynalab v22 buyouts in a 3-way.  That 4" should be good to 4k, right?

A lot of PE's stuff is out of stock.  The nd25fa, nd20fa, dx20bf, dc28f, dx20bf, are out of stock.  nd16fa, nd13fa, nd25ta, bc25tg, dx25tg, nh25ti&f, nhp25ti&f, nd28f ($24), ne25 ($28), bc25sc55/06/tg15/,  are in stock.  Haven't heard anything about the nh and nhp. 

What about the ptmini6 ribbon 275-083? 

And yea, I've experienced PE's throw it in a box and ship it krap.        

   

jr@mac

It's a China thing. Expect more, not less, disruptions over the next three months.

I haven't measured mine, but it seems to me that they are good well beyond that.  The graph posted in the product description seems to ring true.

The Dayton AN25Ti-4 I used in the Bar-Gain soundbar. It's okay, but QC is not as tight as other units. One had higher HD than the other, but not to the point of being unusable. The housing will need sealed if you use it. I wrapped foam tape and then black duct-tape around that and press-fit the design.

I like the DX20 it plays way above its price, the ND25 is good but overused like the ND20FB.

Mitchell_Cote

You can still get the Peerless DX20 and D26NC56 in stock at Digikey.  No MOQ.

dcibel

Isn't ND25 just a BC25 with a Dayton sticker on it? On the plus side, you can get it without faceplate or with a waveguide which is real nice, I wish those options existed on more high end units.
