Another buyout that really makes me wish PE still...

...measured buyouts for us
Looks good, specially for the price...

Guess I will just have to buy that dam measurement rig.

I knew that was an Audax before I even read the description. MAX Fidelity, huh? I hope we get some of the older large-VC bits in for buyout!!!
Looks good, Johnny!

With a name like MAX Fidelity, does it even need measuring ;)

i like the cast-look. are you thinking mtm? or three-way?

If you pair that with a small form factor neo tweeter than can reach down to about 2.5 kHz, you should be able to make a very nice budget HT setup or desktop monitor.

I was thinking along the lines of a 5.1 for my parents using five of these, five of the Vifa OX tweets and crossing over in the 2500-2800 range.

Small 2-way 5.1 set up for my parents. Build them a less "dramatic" looking version of my Datum sub.

How about the BC25SC06-04? That is a small format tweeter, is horn loaded so acoustic offsets will not be as much of an issue and offers a reasonably low Fs. Price is also attractive.

Re: Another buyout that really makes me wish PE still...

I'm gonna snag a few of those since I have a couple friends wanting cheap builds. I'll probably just do small MT's with some Tang Band tweeters I've had for awhile.

That new Peerless India waveguide/tweeter buyout combo looks fun to play with too.

That sounds like a great choice - except they seem to be out of stock. You can do essentially the same thing with the OX20, but it will require making your own chamfer or roundover (zaph's site has measurement data for both).

OX is 2x the price of the BCS and almost 4x the price of the woofer:eek: Not gonna happen for this possible project.

Bought 4 of these Saturday and did some quick measurements.

Frequency response and impedance

Doesn't look like much to complain about there, especially for under $7.00.

Re: Another buyout that really makes me wish PE still...

Well, I got five on the way, so to top out my $100 tog et free shipping I remembered some cables, a mixer, a microphone...

Guess I'll be measuring soon.

They look very nice for the money, and shouldn't have any problems crossing over in the 2.5-3k range.

Mark, do you mind to do WT3 sweep on a different driver for consistency? Also a distortion plot would be great
