6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer

@mozartfan  I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but you are clueless. 
You can certainly find An example of each of the above, but making blanket statements is naive. 

Such as ~all dome tweeters~ suffer from any number of weakness.??
The Millenium Tweeter is one of if not the best dome tweeter in production. Yet i've found its nothing vs a  high quality FR driver in the same fq's. 
Its ridiculous listening to a  tiny 1.3 inch dome tweeter trying to gather up a  full range orchestra in full power.
Its a joke.


Perhaps  a opinionated bias on my part,  but true. Dome tweeters are for jazz only. Light jazz at best. 

I agree with  with Larryi. As a speaker builder I respect his angle on design, implementation as in the right woofer for cabinet volume and other factors as in component selection. Cross over selection. Internal cabling, internal damping materials.  There are advantages in smaller drivers, and larger ones. My first were 14" Alinco Aquadag woofer with 5" mid ,2" tweeter.  The woofer had been in a larger room and was great .  I would not want them in a small room.  Now I live in a smaller space and the less efficient 8" towers I built are better suited for that room size. The bass actually goes lower on the 8" towers but in a large room would not have the same impact as compaired where they now sit.   Placing a pair of Klipshorns in a small room would be a disaster.  Matching components to the living space is very important.

@mozartfan,

" Its ridiculous listening to a tiny 1.3 inch dome tweeter trying to gather up a full range orchestra in full power."

tweeters reproduce harmonics mostly and are used over 2khz. listen to your music, turn a EQ on and highpass your orchestra at 2khz. not much energy over 2khz.

no wideband will be as even in the treble as any tweeter. and very few wideband, if any, of the zie your looking at (6 or 8") will reproduce "air" in a even pattern. Most wideband still need a tweeter for the last octave (10khz to 20khz)

its quite ridiculous to think that a wideband is suited to reproduce a orchestra at full power

Enjoy the journey, but everything is a compromise and many ways to get to satisfaction in this hobby

" Dual 6.5’s MM (skip the tweet) is the ideal bass configure for backing up a single FR 6.5 or 8."
why not dual 15", or dual 10’s or dual 8’s.

you clearly are starting to make stuff up as you go on.

I am all about the results....its' about the performance isn't it?

Naturally aspirated inline 6, V-8 or V12?  I don't really care if it provides good performance and throttle response :)
