Add a tweeter or super tweeter and integrate with the full range thru an L-pad

How does the 10  inch full range driver cope with High frequency information ?  I have the 8 inch version and find it a bit lacking in HF detail.

Where did you get JBL 10 inch coax drivers ?
Benjie, what's your 8 inch full range driver?

ahh ok, I think I'm using the same pair as well. Tweaked it a bit to strengthen the highs.

I just  checked the AN site

The Audio Nirvana 'Super 12 FERRITE' ($348/pr) has a test bench frequency response from 36 hz to almost 20,000 hz

How is this possible ?

huhuhu....wish I could have the pleasure to listen to the sound quality of the Audio Nirvan Classic 10...frustrating since the speaker cabinets I bought from Anthony Audio was messed up by AP cargo. Planning to buy na lang Klipsch RP-160M or R28F kasi high sensitivity din pero nasasayangan ako sa ANs.  :(

Well, hindi pa natin alam ang average response and kung ilang db ang dip niya sa 36hz and 20k hz. We should see the response curve.

Yes, sir. Unfortunately, the cabinets were damaged on transit (by AP Cargo). They partially refunded the shipping cost pero hindi na na-refund ang unit cost (which was 11k...buseeet talaga) at kinuha pa nila yong damaged cabinets.

Based on the graph, this thing goes south starting at 14Khz.

Which is actually not bad for a 12 inch driver, then again, the manufacturer should have stated this implicitly, rather than saying "Almost 20khz", since most of their target market are technically inclined.

Sorry to hi-jack the thread, but I just wanna hear your expert opinions. Should I go for Klipsch RP-160M or R28F, or continue with the AN project? Plan is to pair this with low-watt tube amp (13 watts ultralinear...8 watts triode....whatever that means :)). Salamat po.

You are asking for 1 driver to reproduce 36Hz and at the same time 20khz depending on the music material. That is a tall order.

Yeah. I have yet to listen to a full range that delivers very good highs. Imagine all those different frequencies vibrating a single driver. However ang very good advantage in single driver is in unison ang character across the frequency range.

Sir Nelson from what I heard in my room, the highs of the AN classic are comparable to the highs of my NHT M6/M5/L5 speakers which possess aluminum tweeters.
