Looking for a WR125 MTM Design

[davidroberts]

I have 4 WR125 drivers laying around that I would like to build a pair of MTM's out of for my office. Has anyone seen such a plan or have one they can share>

That's a driver that could be paired with just about any tweeter.

How about a small faceplate tweeter allowing tight spacing, like the Peerless V-line D26NC55? Very nice tweeter, low distortion, smooth response. Cross at 2500Hz, LR4. I'd be glad to work up a starting point XO for you.

If you got the time go for it. I was even looking at some of the Dayton neos as an alternative. The idea is to tear apart the current Exudus 2641 WWMT's I have and use the 4 Extremis drivers as base bins. Or I could just sale what i have and go with one of Curt or Jon's new designs...

Build the Statements using the WR125 instead of the TB mids.

That would indeed be an option, as the Qt is higher in the CSS units, and would facilitate a better open-back/IB scenario. I have heard both the FR and WR variants, and both are better as midranges, or sealed-box midbasses. The FR125 needs a lift or help in the top-octave, and neither really sound great when pushed deeper in the bass-range. They just get all IMD on you.

I'm pretty sure that tweeter is being discontinued. It is a great tweet and I think Madisound still got them in stock.

They were going to discontinue it, but it's been picked up for production in the China facility, according to Zaph.

Check out <A HREF="http://www.alegriaaudio.com">www.alegriaaudio.com</A>. He has kits and speakers using the wr125, I think. Not real sure if he has an mtm config or not, but think he might.

Where's Florida Chuck? I've missed him. I know he used to have that driver, although I don't know about any designs.
