Hi.
As the title says, I have a system based around 2226 woofers (15") and 2453 compression drivers (4" voice coils and 1.5" throat) at the front, with a pair of 2245 (18") sub-woofers.
I have a pair of 2405 slot tweeters, not yet connected, if I install Truextent dia's I may skip these.
Now to build surrounds that match in timbre, even if the result is overkill on SPL capacity.
I have a pair of 2332 horns from the old DMS studio monitors and 2432 (3" VC & 1.5" throat) compression drivers for them.
That dictates a crossover around 1.2 kHz, just a little above the 2226 comfort zone.
I would also prefer a smaller box than the 2226 requires.
So the question is what woofers, the obvious choices are the 2206 (12") or a 14" similar to what the DMS had.
The 1400 Nd seems practically unobtainable so my options would be 1400-PRO or 2217, both have similar Thiele Small and should work equally well.
I have considered some of the less efficient options like 128 and 252 (12") but they seem a poor match to the compression drivers.
Apart from the obvious, that these are not old style dipole surrounds, any recommendations or ideas?
Any sources for a pair of drivers also welcome.
