[QUOTE="JimGore, post: 262937, member: 3"] That is a very good idea indeed! I will think on it a bit. If there is interest in this, it could be done at the same time. Off the top of my head, it may need a change of crossover, but perhaps there is a way I can get around that issue using some tricky designing. Reason is because of the bandpass gain between the woofer and tweeter in a 3 way. By all means, please join in! The reason for using a 5" driver is multiple: 1. It allows us to get away with a smaller cabinet size. 2. A smaller driver can reach a bit higher, allowing us more flexibility in crossing over to the tweeter. The idea that a "better" speaker uses a bigger driver is an unfortunate misconception in my opinion. Quality has nothing much at all to do with size (haven't us men been dying to hear that!). There is nothing stopping us from going with the 6" option if that's what you guys want. Ian. [/QUOTE]
