 Yeah, thats some severe premature roll-off on the tweeter. You're right in asssuming if both tweeters behave the same way or similarly that they must not be living up to tall spec claims. Fortunately they sound "good" to you, or else i'd switch those out as well.
Let us know what happens with the Audax drivers  |
The spec is fine, my measurment gear was not. As I said, I had a friend with better gear come by and verify what my ears were already telling me - the tweets are fine. It is the stupid Mac soundcard that needs help!
The Audax drivers arrived today. Sadly one had a big knife wound in its cone. PE is sending a replacement postehaste.
Enclosed are two pics. The first is my super-technical test stand. Yes, I just hung a driver from a vacum cleaner. It is breaking in right now. Already I can tell the cone moves a lot more then the Pyle one I was using. I think the bass response is better, but once it is broken in some test will tell me what is going on. I have one of the OBs on the other channel (w/out the augmentation speaker) so I can switch back and forth to compare.
The second pic is a possible baffle idea I was thinking of trying. Since I'm trying to get the most baffle in the smallest place I figured a bowl might simulate wings in three dimension. Target had "medium" salad bowls for $9 each so I picked up two. A 6.5" driver will *just* fit on the flat part on the bottom. Even if I don't use these for this project they may become an OB full-range set at some point.
As a side note playing both channels actually sounds really cool right now.
