I wanted to get an intelligent responce from you here in the know as to what you think are good driver combinations for either two or three even four way speaker systems. Here are some parameters to consider.
Bass/ Mid cone materials; poly/bexatrene, paper, aluminum, ribbon, etc
Mid Drivers; paper, cloth, aluminum, poly, ribbon, titanium, etc
Tweeters; paper, aluminum, poly, ribbon, fabtic/ cloth, titanium, mylar, etc
Mixtures of the above listed materials is fine. If you have production or custom examples and specifics as to why you like the combination (pros/ cons) that would be useful as well.
One of my favorite examples would be a three way, custom built using an inverted 1 inch titanium dome tweeter (Focal) with an aluminum dome 2.25 inch midrange and quality Morel 10" poly cone woofers. This is a "fast" sounding system with very good articulation and reasonably good soundstage/ depth. The cabinets would be about the size of JBL L80T's with very clise driver grouping, rounded baffle corners, mirror imaged, transmission line bass. The size would room acceptable in most cases and the effeciency good.
The people that follow this forum have what I consider to be fairly diverse, educated listening profiles, with a good variety of speaker platforms to choose from. Knowing that I wanted to better understand what is popular and why.
Thanks for your input here
