  • So what's the verdict on the 10's? Anyone have a box model... still didn't enough time to sim one... but i already have the 8's, not sure if this would be very different.
  • Just buy ,
    Show off  :p

  • Are those my old NE silk done with the missing phase shield?
    I have a signature.
  • Are those my old DA tweeters, too? And the little 4.5" guys, too? That reminds me, you have a pair of 8" in my garage. 

    I'm an enabler.

    Modeling them now.  Very versatile specs.  F3 in the high 20s in 1.5 cu ft with a 1dB drop EBS alignment.  F3 in the mid-30s with a standard 1 cu ft alignment and you can even cram it in a 0.7 cu ft box with a 40Hz F3 and only a little 0.5dB bump above rolloff.  Port lengths with all these options are longish but doable (23" and under) keeping port velocity acceptable.  Haven't pulled the trigger yet, but I'm not sure I'm going to make it until midnight.😬

    Hey where's the 225s?!  Or is it the 265s you're missing there?

    Nick has the woodys, I have the glass version. We keep meaning to do something with them.

  • You have the XG then, cool! I thought the XT sounded soooo good back in 2003 when I heard them in Pjay's "Moxy". I heard the XG in 2007 at the first InDIYana in one of Dan Neubecker's builds. It was a John Kreskovsky design.

    Good drivers, and they're the reason the NE line is as good repped as it is- they are the predecessors of the NE drivers.
  • finally got the chance to model with published specs. looks good in 40liters, 28Fb 28F3, port is around 14.5 inches and 3 inches diameter.

    hmmm... i do have quite a lot of 10" drivers...


  • The only issue seems to be the RE, st 2.86 it will be closer to 2 ohm after the XO....

    I wish Vifa didn't discontinue the XT/XG drivers, they were pretty much and ideal midrange.

  • I caved. Went to order a pair of the ne @11:30 and apparently PE must be in an earlier time zone.  The special is now an HDMI splitter.  What, no flashlight???   
  • Some 10+ years ago a friend of mine built Zaph's MTM tower using the XT. Zaph took that design off his site once the drivers were NLA, bit it was with a 27TDFC tweeter.

    I was on  a long phone call and remembered at 12:30 that I had not completed the purchase.
    Amazingly, the PE cart let me buy a pair!
    Thanks for the modeling guys. Those 'uns will make a great bottom end for a future 3 way.

    But Chahly - Stahkist don't want speakers that look good, Stahkist wants speakers that sound good!
  • After a long and painful struggle I decided not to press the buy button. I have a long list of 10 inch drivers languishing in storage, most are NLA, didn't want to add more that would soon go NLA.

    yeah, I understand!
    I've got some 8s, some 12s, but out of 10s. 
    But I'll probably get around to these in about 2 years lol.

  • Nice 8" woofer on sale this weekend. If I wasn't full up on woofers. 
    I have a signature.
  • PE coupon code POP7 for 7% off. I just bought the Dayton 2.1 amp on sale + 7% off code, not a bad deal.

    the SD says 324.3 for the Hivi LK8A

    that looks like a typo, doesn't it?

  • edited April 2020
    Yeah, 225cm^2 would be pretty standard 8" size. Looks like they just took 8" diameter to calculate Sd instead of a real cone diameter. Rookies at the wheel ;)

    Makes you wonder if they also calculated VAS using an 8" cone diameter.

  • If it wasn't for that darn whizzer cone, I'd like the look of those more.
  • Same here, Ben.

  • JR, didn't we listen to that Tang Band in Chicago at Axpona?  It was in those large OB WFW with an Alpha 15 above and below.  That's where Bryan sat on the floor to get the TB at ear level.
