Accuton cells etc

Re: Accuton cells etc

Hey Jeff, if you can load them by yourself, you can have them!

The C51 is an amazing driver, we talked about it and all the other pieces of the Perfect Storm here - http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=135390.0

Dang! Just last week the Doctor gave me a lifting restriction. I'm pretty sure these exceed it too.

They seem to work well in taming the 3.5- 4khz resonance in the Midbass cones.
For example, the C158 (according to a friend who tried crossing too high)has real audible issues if crossed too close, which is a shame if you wanted to use a ribbon

We use a ribbon with the C158-8-085 in a few of our models without any special attention to the upper resonance. LR4 at ~2200Hz to the RAAL 70-20XR makes for a very engaging and non-fatiguing driver pairing.

I could see where trying to push it any higher might be an issue. There is a distortion spike around that resonance point which I'd want to avoid.

Pete, could the C158-8-085 be used with the 70-10D?

If you're really careful with the XO I would think you could. The 70-10 needs to stay above 2800 LR4.
