My Top 3 Tweeter Recommendations

Really nice channel you have here:) I also use the Sb29 on my newest project. It does a really great job in the low highs and it can cross over nicely low. Unfortunately it’s pretty directional but that could be due to the big size for a tweeter. Anyways, keep up the great work, cheers!

Best video quality I've seen on your channel. Great lighting too.

I would love to see you test this Ceramic Dome tweeter Visaton KE 25 SC - 8 Ohm! Thanks for all you work love the passion you have for it!

Ring radiators are my favorite. Smooth and detailed.

Another enjoyable video Ryan. Thank you. Would be great if you could compare the the alternative clones of the DE250. This would be very helpful for people living outside the US who can't access the original or the even better DIYSG 360 option at affordable prices or at all. For those of us that would like to try some of the DE250 based Econowave builds or those using the SEOS and 360 combo on Hifi Circuit this would be invaluable information. Options that come to mind include the PRV 290Py, Celestion CDX1-1747, MD Acoustics DE250P and Dayton Audio D250P (perhaps others?)

Yes! Please do a video on the SB29. Great channel - Thanks!

Thanks very much for your time and reply....Valued. Keep up the Good work. Tony. UK

I personally love the Phillips 1" and 2" soft dome tweeters for nice crisp highs without that hard twang that you would get from those metal cone tweeters. My other fav I'd the JBL bullets for the really high frequencies at low to mid sound. The jBL 2245j is really good too.

The JBL LSR series studio monitors use a soft dome tweeter tucked into a waveguide. Not quite a horn but might as well be. It's nearly 4 inches by 6 inches wide. The LSR series are renowned for perfect sound stage and no matter where you go in the room you can hear both speakers clearly.

Ribbons are my favorite tweaters. They sound amazing

Awesome video. Such a helpful channel. Any chance you could suggest some wavegiudes that suit the SB29? I'm sure the info is out there but its eluded me so far. The Dayton waveguide I've heard works doesn't seem to be made anymore. Any other dome tweet and waveguide combos you have found to work well? Thanks!

Are you using a L-pad with that horn in some cases to bring it down to match most woofers? Pairing it with an average woofer that's say 89db 1w/1m isn't the 108db horn way over powering?

I got RCF N350, B&C DE250 & DE45. All three sound loud & crysp, but when the DE45 gets loaded with around 30-40 watt, it plays crysp and amazing, cause is 3 kg magnet, with pure titanium diaphragm, espetially on vocals. They do need high power woofer like the RCF lf15p530 or B&C 15PS100 to match the perfect full range sound

Stumbled onto this video and was surprised to see that favorite was compression driver. I'm running Seos12 horns with Radian 475PB compression drivers, which I am able to cross at 1kHz at 18dB slope with dual 8" woofers with analogue active crossover. 107dB sensitive horn/compression driver driven directly from quality amplifier without any passive crossover parts or L-pad sounds extremely pure.

I'm working with a Utah WD90 box so it has to be like 3.5 to 4 inches, I think 4 inches where the 4 mounting holes are. Also it mounts from the back inside so the front of the tweet needs to have a flat surface area can't be tapered off, and if it sticks out too much it's going to make contact with the woven cloth cover.

The new Chane L series are using the SB acoustic ring tweeters. They are also using SB acoustics woofers in the L series line.

Subscribed keep it up!

Can you remember which was that 8" woofer that you used with the horn? What about coupling with the small SB and no horn? What 7" or 8" would you choose to mate with the small SB29? Thanks!

I had a hunch that Be JBL / IWATA was going to be your fave even though it's crazy expensive and large. Also gotta love those big red Mick Jagger lips lol.

Good information, solid video. Beard 🧔!
