• Hi soundofvoid,
  
  Thanks for the suggestions. Since the Beyma TPL-150H, I am using at the moment, has a sensitivity of 102 dB/1 watt and can be used down to 1300 Hz, I see no reason for trying out the HiVi TR-8II.
  
  The LFT-10 appears to be useful down to 400 Hz, which in itself sounds promising, but since the sensitivity according to the Eminent Tech website is only 86 dB/1 watt, it is not really interesting for ny setup.
  
  Best regards
  Peter

• Hi Soundofvoid,
  
  Thanks for the kind comments!
  
  Since I tried the Beyma TPL I have dreamed about a Giant AMT/ribbon to get the sound qualities of Beyma down in the mid register. I am still on the search for such a driver, but I think there are at least two reasons that only few people have tried to horn load a ribbon driver for the mid register:
  
  The first reason is that most horn lovers like to have very efficient drivers, and the number of high efficiency ribbons for mid-duty appear to be very limited.
  
  The second reason is that most of the ribbons I know of are designed to be used without horn loading, which means that they are designed to provide a flat response when used "as is". Putting such a driver in a horn will usually result in an uneven response with to much amplification in the lower part of frequency response of the given driver.
  
  However, as stated I would sure love to have a Giant TPL!
  
  Best regards
