Any info on this coax driver? Am looking at it as a likely candidate for a PC mini-monitor pair to match with my TB W8-740C sub I just finished.
I have the spec sheet from TB's website but wanted to know if anyone has used/abused it yet, measured, and/or heard one before I shell out ducats for it! Cheers and Happy New Year Weekend :)

I asked the same question not long ago and didn't get much of a response.

Just bought a pair anyway. I just received them last week and have not had a chance to do much with them other than hook em up to make sure that they weren't completely DOA.

I don't have testing equipment, but plan to proceed with the plan to make a pair of small monitors regardless.

Very Cool, will be interested to hear "actual" T/S parameters and how TB implemented the crossover in the driver.

Actual T/S parameters you won't get from me as I don't have WT or anything equivalent to measure.

The XO appears to be 2nd or 3rd order. It uses cheap electrolytic caps: 2 3.3uf and 1 8.2uf.
There are 2 inductors, but I cannot see their values as they are glued down to the printed circuit board.
