Re: 6.5" OB "bookshelf" speakers


So I figured the falling tweeter response could be from rising impedene. So, I tried to do impedence matching by adding and changing resistor R3a. Here is a plot with different R3b values:

Red: R3b = infinate (no resistor)
Yellow: R3b = 20 ohms
Pink: R3b = 8 ohms.

As you can see this is not the problem I'm having as there is little difference between these values. So, I'm left with two theories;

1) The TN28 doesn't play as high as advertised. I think this drop-off is too severe to be a small error in specs.

2) The soundcard on my fiancee's Mac G4 sucks. Given my experience with this so far this is my current leading theory - especially since the tweeters *sound* good.
