The opportunity for an eight ohm MTM using Dayton
Classic drivers was made possible when the DA130BS-4
was released. In my opinion, this four ohm version of the
well respected 5-1/4" Dayton Classic-like its eight ohm
sibling-has the best midrange of the Dayton Classic
lineup. In addition, the DA130BS-4 boasts a sensitivity 3
dB higher than the eight ohm version. Using two of these
drivers in a series results in a system with sensitivity that
rivals many four ohm designs, yet provides an easy load
for impedance-challenged amplifiers.
The DC28FS represents the latest version of this
popular tweeter, and is arguably the best sounding
version to date. It demonstrates a bit of a "BBC" dip
around 4 kHz and exhibits a smoother top end than
its predecessors. The woofer and tweeter are both
shielded, and their acoustical abilities complement
each other very well.
