AFAIK, TWFK peakiness stems from the enclosure size affecting the regularity of the magrad field, causing more instability in the armature mechanism --- no amount of stiffness in the armature mechanism will make up for an irregular magnetic field, and which is why TWFKs in their raw form (no passive components attached) all have similar resonant peaks/valleys. We have to remember that each FK and WBFK driver is about the size of a ladybug.
So you say that if I take FK and WBFK separately, they will be way better? I smell opportunity...Or if I changed the cross on there to use them as a true dual, would the peaks disappear, as the fields become coherent?
Interesting about 1723. It seems like what I was considering doing, but I thought to use CI-30050 as the bass (throttle to 1.5k? what's the harmonic distortion there?); 26A007/9 as mids+highs (best THD, great FR) and 2354 as the tweeter (best extension), maybe x2. All low impedance meaning more headroom for impedance and crossover tweaks. Alternative bass driver is FED-30048-I04 - thoughts on this one? Its FR is not as good - I could use that 1k resonance of CI. Any ideas where I can get small numbers of the Sonion BAs for experiments? Otherwise, I'd have to skip 2354(s) (real shame) for WBFK, replace 26A007/9 with inferior 26A005/8.
These look damn good.I need to give you my old UE-10 so you can measure that. The UE-10 was the precursor to the UERM and at the time (2005), it was Jerry Harvey's top tier CIEM.
