I just won a pair of VOLT 165.1 (6.5" bass mid) on Ebay. Would appreciate any suggestions for a tweeter to go with them. ------------- If it's got wheels or tits it's gonna cost a fortune |

I would probably go for a soft dome Morel. ------------- "music so loud, that if we move in next door to you; your lawn will die" - Lemmy |

I'd second the Morel. Although worth noting that some of the Monacor soft dome tweeters that look similar in style to the Morel are also pretty good value. |

I used Morel MDT30 (or 32) on a pair of 8" volt builds and they were superb. I have decided to try the Monacor DT-300, mainly because Blue Aran have them and they seem to be a real bargain compared to other sellers. They're cheap enough to allow for a mistake. They also have a low crossover point and only require 12dB slope........... good to keep things simple. ------------- If it's got wheels or tits it's gonna cost a fortune |

| Sounds like a good plan, should end up with something sounding pretty good out of that. |

I've been finding for my studio and HiFi builds sbacoustics have a lot of tweeters at a good price / performance ratio. I have this one in a studio monitor paired with a 6" sbacoustics woofer: https://sbacoustics.com/product/sb26adc-c000-4/ For non studio work a soft dome might be more more pleasing long term to listen to. This is the on-axis freq response with psychoacoustic smoothing (after some minor EQ):  and without smoothing:
 Acoustic crossover was somewhere between 1.8khz - 2.2khz from memory. ------------- www.instagram.com/translate.sound |

I actually bought the Monacor DT-300s. Blue Aran had them at a really good price and as I said they were cheap enough that I could afford to make a mistake. I haven't done any more on this project. As the weather is so good at the moment I am trying to sort out a piece of land I own over the road. Will get to the cabinets ASAP and report back. ------------- If it's got wheels or tits it's gonna cost a fortune |
