I've heard the 4590, good, and maybe enough sparkle for a PA rig, but there's something special about the sound of a 5 way system, with 2446/DE85/CP750 and 4x CP25s above each 2".

so does the BMS 4550 ;)
im aware of both drivers and their pro and cons, i just wanted to ask boots-hifi if he thinks the extra headroom /spl is worth the money , or why he is changing in general ;)

18sound HD1480 would be the compromise between them both...

I'll let Boots give his own opinion but we've both heard both sets of comps together and the 4590s are imo head and shoulders above the 4550.

BMS 4550 will run down to 800hz, however this is a traid off as it requires to my ears and others involved in my sound system allot of EQ up the top end and fails to reproduce that magical chipping hence the introduction of CP25's etc to the 2" that Lev mentions. The 4590 has the best of both worlds and more, if you have the money invest in a pair otherwise your end up doing what I'm doing and buying twice to upgrade....I may have a few 4550's for sale soon though Wink
