Has anyone looked into using the SB Audience ROSSO-65CDN-T or ROSSO-75CDN-T with the SynTripPs?
I haven’t seen it mentioned in this thread, but the 65CDN-T seems like excellent value for money and has received quite a bit of praise online. It looks like the 3-inch diaphragm ROSSO-75CDN-T is a newly released model.
I would assume the 31.1 degree exit angle of the 65CDN-T would be a better fit vs 75CDN-T's 9.5 degrees, though the 75CDN-T offers slightly higher sensitivity in the lower frequencies.

They look nice. This one has more X-max: https://www.sbaudience.com/index.php/products/compression-drivers/rosso-65cd-t/
It should be capable of ~+3dB more clean output than the 2.5" (65mm) diaphragms.It looks like the 3-inch diaphragm ROSSO-75CDN-T is a newly released model.
I wouldn't make that assumption from looking at the upper frequency response of the drivers on the H280 horn.I would assume the 31.1 degree exit angle of the 65CDN-T would be a better fit vs 75CDN-T's 9.5 degrees, though the 75CDN-T offers slightly higher sensitivity in the lower frequencies.
Unless you have measured distortion of the drivers on the same horn, I wouldn't assume the 65CD-T heavier slab magnet with less flux density has more Xmax simply because it's magnetic gap is longer than the lighter, higher flux density neodymium 65CDN-T.They look nice.

Considering the HF response of these three Rosso drivers, I'd guess they all have similar diaphragm to phase plug distance, Xlim no more than 0.8mm, Xmax in the 0.5mm range.
So useful ! Thanks mate, will report back once I crossing that bridge !Hey @FloKai !
Woofers wired in parallel (+ & - on discrete conductors) is convention for these I believe.
High frequency driver on a separate plug (I haven't wired that yet).
I'm using 14awg stranded copper for everything. Separate conductors for the internal wiring, and 14/4 SJOOW for the main leads, with Neutrik NL4 connections. I recommend the Wago connectors internally as they're easily disconnected/reconnected if/when one needs to take the back off and repair anything.
P.S. I ended up just going with 1" denim fiber damping, without the mass loading. It was a lot cheaper and I think it'll do the job just fine.
