...and another Wavecor looks to be biting the dust.
I can't understand why it wasn't flying off the shelves! Nice polymer chassis, huge effing breakup node, low sensitivity, tiny xmax. About the only good thing was high QMS. But for $47 list? Someone was smoking in Dayton when they stocked this one.
But Chahly - Stahkist don't want speakers that look good, Stahkist wants speakers that sound good!
HD looks good in between 1k to 3k. But then domes are dying too. Why does the small cone drivers have so low sensitivity, but domes can manage just fine?
I thought it would be fun to snag some at MWAF. Maybe a line array center channel. Always wanted to do a bessel array. Like everything else there's no time to order and measure.
Yea that's a nice tweeter for $30... I think those 8in B&C's are the same woofer Pete used in the Derecho for Vapor Audio. Of course the Delta 12a were in Bagby's Tempest.
On another note: my wife tossed to PE catalogue before I got to look at it. Was there a discount code on there?
I was going to order a pair of RS270's or RS270P's. Hoping I can cross them to MDM55 at around 1k.
Very limited quantities on most of the stuff I looked at. Not going to last long. I'm thinking the tw030 would be a natural match with the 7" Rivals. And you know I was kidding, right?

I saw no codes, just a plug for the $49 free shipping. Sorry.

I'm finalizing a 3 way now, using a RS270 crossed to a MDM55. Fc is about 800 2nd order electrical. The MDM55 is pretty happy, but will complain a bit if I push it too hard. Still, very nice detail and quality sound.

The Wavecors seem to be going the way of the Dodo... the TW022WA05 is now NLA. There is a another TW022WA02 which is on sale for 30$. But given what happened to the TW030 that JR got and the TW022WA05 which I got, nice tweeters but they keep going extinct....

The fine print "1pc Available @ Special Sale Price".
Point well taken. I did not pay close enough attention.

Bought a pair of the 4" you have linked or the 2" gento paper cone?
