Got the "New Horizons" running tonight. These were my first attempt with PCD.
I am going to be captain obvious here, but PCD is indeed much more powerful than x-over pro. Though I am still a huge fan of Bass Box.
Biggest lesson so far: When accounting for driver spacing and listening position, as well as diffraction step and constructive/destructive interference, trust what PCD tells you. I has the tweeter padded nearly 6dB too much, which is how I use to account for this stuff for this stuff in x-over pro. It was the main reason I used a series resistor before the x-over, to be able to play around.
They are far from perfect, however I think I am in the ball park, and in the seating section of where these need to be, I just need to get in the seat. I will (hopefully) be putting a mic to these sooner than later.
I have to tell you though, regardless of what the mic says, they are darn impressive! They are similar to my reds in tonality, but are much more open and a little more laid back. The ND16 is a wonderful tweeter ad everyone knows, still getting together an opinion on the ND105...
If anyone from the DIY NE area with measurement experience would like to assist me in measuring these, I could use the help and learning experience.
