Natalie P X-over with seas tweeter?

[jakeb]

I am strongly considering building the Natalie P's but am considering the lower cost, high bang for the buck, seas h1212 (or equivalent) tweeter, instead of the RS28 tweeter currently designed for it. I have not doubt the RS tweet is great, but for 45 dollars in savings and little to no loss in sound quality, I'm leaning seas tweet.

Someone had posted on htguide.com about this very issue, but I don't think that "eviltwin" (designer of the Natalie P's) has put out the seas tweeter crossover version.

I was wondering if that has been posted, and I don't know about it.

Also if there is a complied parts list, box diagram, etc for the Natalie P's that would be awesome.

Thanks

I have a different version that uses the same cabient and drivers as the Natalie P (except with the 27TBFC/G) that I designed for somebody a while back. I don't have any more details (parts list, etc) and haven't built or heard this design. There are similar designs under the RS180 MTM comparison in the projects section of my site below.

Personally I prefer a 2.5 way MTM to a 2 way MTM. An alternate "cascaded" version is shown at this link...
