Re: .Mag baby -that's helpful - not sure about Dayton 295-070

Magnetar -

almost suspect the Behringer and bi/tri-amping with old amps would be as cheap as trying to impliment a passive network

The 295-070's graph looks OK - good/flat to about 1khz than a peak around perhaps 1.4Khz - it sounds more rolled off than indicated in the Eminence graph - but there's little on-axis rise indicated - I guess i'll keep them - they seem like they should make a decent bass unit with f3 around bass guitar's E and some suppport to 32Hz - I don't know if they could mate with a compression horn or not - my only drivers are 1" Eminnece

btw - on your 4" voice-coil Dayton are the cones positioned where they appear to be a bit "outward"? - these Dayton and some other speakers I've owned have a slight forward looking bias to their surround adn cone rather than being flat - doesn't appear to cause distortion in the passband

yeah - I imagine 1st order with triode amps is more cohesive - with hte Dayton adn 95dB sensitivity I expect to be using a 60 watt NAD - think that will do "better" with limited sensitivity speakers than good triode stuff - I was able to use my puch-pull parallel 6BX7 Eico ST-70 with a 8 inch WTW made of Klipsch KG parts - not a great speaker but it really came "alive" with hte not feedback amp adn 6DJ8 up front - I almost liked this amp better than my parallel 2A3SE - great string bass from old Edgarhorn 100.

BTW - I'm tempted to make a new midbass 80Hz 1/4 size straight horn - would you go hyperbolic or will trax work? - also - how about a 2:1 mouth aspect? -cna't get any woodwork done here -have to seek a cutter.
