Currently I own 2 pairs of Clements RT-7 speakers - which I love. However, I have found, when using REW and ARC that I have a drop from around 800hz to 1800hz on both pairs(peaking at about -6db). The specifications for the speakers list the crossover point at 1575. My assumption is that, either through degradation or design, the driver and 7" ribbon tweeter aren't capable of being matched at this point.
I am thinking about constructing a separate enclosure to handle the mid range, and using a dcx 2496 as a 3way active crossover. My only investment will be the drivers, and I would prefer not to spend more than $500US on the pair.
I was hoping to get some advice regarding a mid range driver that would match well with a 7" ribbon tweeter within this price range.
Clements RT-7 is a 2 way transmission line speaker rated +/- 3db from 26hz - 20khz using an 8" woofer and 7" direct inductance planar ribbon tweeter. Though in my measurements I would say that it doesn't get much lower than 30hz before dropping off sharply.
Edited to correct misleading wording.
