Faital 12fh500-8 - $273
Why is JBL 2206H much more than the neo version (2262HPL) that seems to do everything better than the 2206?
I'm looking to make a 3-way with RS52AN-8 and Ribbon tweeter.
I'm already listening to this with Dayton RS270S-08 woofer and there just isn't enough woofer. I have to turn the ribbon tweeter down to max possible attenuation with the attenuator. And the mid almost to the max down level. I just don't care fore highs and mids, I guess.
I listen to speakers that are flat FR and I turn the treble way down and bass way up in my computer and then turn the bass way up on the receiver (if I have one and can) and treble way down and then it sounds normal.
I guess I'm between the Faital and 2206.
I know the 2206 has build quality that I like because I've held them, the faital looks cheaper in the pics (casting and some nuances), but I think it will sound better.
I also have a pair of ScanSpeak Revelator 22W/8857T, but they don't have the efficiency to mesh with the RS52 with no resistor on the RS52 obviously. And the ribbon would need a large resistor. Also I'm not really a fan of home style woofers in a ported box to be honest, the bass never sounds right/natural.
Faital looks like a winner, I just prefer the best possible build quality (and durability/longevity) in a woofer.
I also have a HiVi ribbon I want to try (Hi-Vi RT1C-A Isodynamic Tweeter, 120mm, 94dB).
I'm not sure if I like horns, but they don't sound offensive to me, like most dome tweeters do. I know the "standard" design with a 12 inch pro woofer is a 2-way horn (maybe with "super-tweeter) or 3-way with 6-8" pro midrange and dome tweeter.
I believe I will have a lot of room gain with the Faital woofer in the bass region BTW.
