MLI-65

[bose301s 1]

Mark, I am looking to build a 2 way bookshelf for personal use and just for the hell of it. I want to use SB Acoustics SB29 Ring Dome Tweeter and was wondering how well you think the MLI would mate up with it. Anyway, any thoughts you have are appreciated.

Wow, that tweeter digs pretty deep. The top end rolls off pretty quick off axis - is that 45* or 60*?

Anyway, they MLI is pretty easy to build a xover for. I had good luck using a 6dB/octave with impedance compensation on the MLI and an 18dB/octave to a Seas tweeter. Had to use a trap but it sounded pretty darn smooth once it was done.

Despite the low end frequency that tweeter can go to, I would lean towards ~1.8kHz xover point simply because the dome would have a difficult time dispersing frequencies lower than that without some major help.

Your ear will of course tell the story though. Good luck!
