New WTW Floorstander

[Peregrinari]

I have been lurking for a while so here goes. I just finished a set with this exact combination of drivers being talked about in another thread in a WTW config. The drivers are the Buyout Peerless 835004 and the Dayton DC28F-8. I used a fourth order BB vented alignment for the box and crossed the tweet at 2k. Sound is astounding though I think I need to adjust my damping a touch. The other half of the equation is the Eminence Dual Voice-coil Woofer PE had on deal of the day two weeks ago. I am building a sealed second order CC Equal Ripple 2.5 cubic foot enclosure for that that should sound fantastic. I am bi-amping the setup so I have full control over what the woofer is doing and running a full range signal to the top half to get that sweet lower midrange and upper bass punch that these peerless drivers do so well! Attached is a 3D model off of my plans. The design itself is inspired by YG Acoustics work though these are by no means 107,000 dollar speakers.

Looking Good ! Nice Job. I bought the same drivers and then that thread fizzled out . Good to see someone still working with them. If you would be so kind, did you use the crossover that was posted in the other thread ? Thanks Much

They look nice Tom I'm looking forward to seeing them on the base once it's ready.

Take it easy

so then are you using standard subwoofer amplfier(s) on the bottoms ? 1 per channel ?
(or a stereo amp + active XO?)


How low does the top go ?

Looks like a nice design.

You may as well list them on ebay for $107,000 just in case.
