far below was this;

So you have a mid only version of this coax driver.

In that case, you might want to try the B&C version of that driver WITH the hf unit, also a coax driver with a crossover that is easier to manage than the with the coax BMS. Both have a 1.4 inch and 2 inch exit coax version.

Both the bms and B&C have an HF section that gets up all the way into the top octave where many, especially large horn drivers don't/can't reach.

It would be highly desirable if you can measure what you have as you go along. Frequency response (aside from signal absence) is the most obvious thing we hear and horns are very rarely flat on their own.

Hi,

I compared the 2 models Frequency Response BMS Version 300 - 22000Hz/B&C Version 300 - 18000Hz. I wish I would have gotten the BMS Coaxial instead the Mid Version years ago...Curious as to how that would have worked.. So what 1 inch Throat Driver would give me superior sound up to 20000 Hz?

Thanks

  Hi
  
  There are a number that hit 20K, a few go past. In this regard, BMS has most of the options.
  I use the first one in a number of products at work, a ferrite driver that fit's the bill.

  Faital also makes a couple that go all the way like this one.
