I love the Peerless 835025 drivers, I used them in the DCT-1 speakers I brought to MWAF in 2016 (won in the under $200 category), You can check out the speakers at PE's project gallery. I ordered a pair when they were on sale for 50% off and I'm working on a 3-way design with them now. Very low distortion from bass to the lower midrange and deep bass in 19 liter enclosure. I might have to order some more.
All I had to do was take a look at my driver shelves and it guilted me out of buying a pair or two of these woofers.
Not saying these are not great drivers or the price is bad... I just see several pairs of Rival woofers, a pair of Usher 8945A, and a pair of HiVi F6's and say "I have a lot to work with here"
I like its little brother, the NeoCD1.0 which I have crossed ~4k.
Anyone notice that PE changed its free shipping back to orders > $99? I was kind of eye spying those Peerless 160F25PR01-08 (qty 4) then notice no free shipping on > $49. That made up my mind
Yeah - keep the crossover high and it should work well, a good pair for a 4-5" midrange. It has some natural rising response in the top end that I'd probably leave in there to compensate for lack of vertical directivity.
IIRC correctly there used to be a Peavy branded model of this tweeter that were previously sold on clearance for $50 as well.
Sounds the same as the 830657 as far as I could tell but has almost twice the Xmax and there are several projects already around. If it weren't for the shipping to Oz, I'd get another pair!

That guy is a trip. At this point, I am thinking he is just a moderately sophisticated troll.
What I don't understand is that a lot of what he says actually has merit. But the XT25 hangup, and the rounding of rear edges being beneficial are asinine. He's on DIYaudio too now, and if he slips up and says something stupid- some of those guys will tear him apart.
I just think he's a very full of himself knowitall. I suppose that could make him a persistent troll.
On a side note, I sat with Dirk and his g/f at a recent DIY event dinner outing. Cool cat... That tvr character, on the other, hand is just an internet troll or a d-bag who thinks he knows it all. He seriously reminds me of moron99 and several others from the past. I don't post at PETT anymore due to people like him.

The 5.25" aluminum I've only heard maybe once. It was paired with a cone-guided full-range driver by Shawn_K and he posts here and at PE.

I listen to the 835023 as my desktop monitor and still enjoy them

For those with full driver shelves but messes all around....

Large BR stand mount 2 way paired with the Wavecor TW030WA08.
Fountek NeoCD 3.5H is on a flash sale for $50.
What's the consensus? 3rd order distortion is higher than I'd prefer, but crossover < 3.5K looks ok.

The Peavy was based off the 3.0
The Peerless Tymphany NE225W-08 are on sale for $100 too. I used them in the Cherry Pi's.

In the cart Geoff.
Wish I had the coin for a quad of ne225w. Yum.
Sweet deadline deal this weekend...
What? Don't see any flash sale banner on PE
Another LED light Ani.
Not PE, but just a heads up the beast DX25BG60-04 is only $24 at Madisound right now. Seems like a killer deal.
Oh but tvr says it's a distorted mess, so it is.
Yes- it's a great tweeter!!! David's "Sherlocks" sounded wonderful with it.

I know the distortion comment was not your words, Wolfie.
I used the DX25 with dual RS180s in an MTM.
Distortion was pretty outstanding.
WOW! That's -50dB! Nicely done!

So tvr isn't Dirk on here?
Not that I'm aware of, no.
InDIYana Event Website
Hmm, writing style was similar. I assumed they were one and same.
TVR is retired. Dirk is ~43.
InDIYana Event Website
... never assume.
I'm not assuming. I know Dirk, have met him, and we're about the same age.
TVR has said he is retired.
InDIYana Event Website
"... never assume" was in reference to me assuming they were the same. Looks like I owe an apology to Dirk.
Kornbread,
Don't fret, Wolf is easily triggered
