Re: Cheap TLAH drivers
I retested the questionable tweeters and included the graphs. #8 is typical (I'd call it good). 12 is blown, 14 and 16 are highly questionable (seem to lack production between 1.6-3KHz and I don't think they sound good), 34 and 35 were a bit softer but i'm guessing they would be fine. This has been ...

Re: Cheap TLAH drivers
Hi Bill (and all) - I completed the testing and have attached the histogram with results. The tweeter in the furthest bin is obviously blown. Realizing that my results are completely dependent upon my test apparatus/setup (I tried to isolate external sounds by placing the tweeters in a box with the ...

Re: Cheap TLAH drivers
Thanks Bill. There are clear differences in output (some sound "thin" and the output isn't as high). I don't know if I should sort them by output and match them in the speakers based on output or if I should try to return and replace them. I don't know what my return options are for PE and...

Re: Cheap TLAH drivers
I received my Goldwood 302 tweeters from PE. I found one physically damaged (cracked) as well as a few that had the leads bent - thinking they could have been returned. I tested them all with the HP filter from a bookshelf speaker. Some of them sounded ok and some of them not so much. I tested the D...

Re: Cheap TLAH drivers
Thanks for the quick reply! Assuming that the center TLAH wouldn’t work well behind my TV and not wanting the TV touching the ceiling, I guess I will have to go with the horizontal SLA curved array. Any thoughts on the TLAH fronts pairing with the Fluance (B01A5XNEPY on Amazon) surrounds…Or would yo...

Re: Cheap TLAH drivers
I had previously ordered plans for Titan and THT and have recently ordered plans for everything. I currently have a Pioneer Elite receiver with 9.2 surround in my home theater. I have polk Center and Fronts (L&R) and Fluance Bipolars for Rear surrounds (4 total) and 2 for the front Atmos mounted...

Re: THT Driver
Looking at the specs, I realized that some of my original options didn't meet the criteria. The recommended RSS390HF-4 is still backordered. There is a RSS390HO-4 (Reference HO) as well as a DCS385-4 (budget friendly option). Does anyone have SPL chart comparisons for these drivers vs. the recommend...

Re: THT Driver
Thanks Seth! I wasn't sure how the model would translate to reality, especially considering there could be significant error when I actually make sawdust. I may just focus on getting a box built and take a measurement before i order a driver. Maybe there will be stock of the recommended driver at th...

THT Driver
I was working on ordering a driver for the THT, however as some of you may know, Parts Express is extremely low on drivers at the moment. I noticed the Dayton Audio RSS390HE-22 15" however the depth is just over the max specified in the instructions (8.25" vs 8" max). Does anyone know...
