Perfect fit!

I purchased these because of their smaller footprint. (And, because I had ordered a pair of the wrong diaphragms which belonged to these drivers) I recently restored a pair of BSR DR-1550, 5-way speaker cabinets from 1987. Because the new 1" midrange driver on the top of the cabinet, (Attached to a long 6" conical waveguide that hung low), was 5 inches large and hung right in front of the front firing high frequency horn driver, I was limited with the size of the driver to install in that spot, attached to a small 4" x 4" conical wave guide. These drivers fit perfectly, with roughly half an inch of space to spare. I originally ordered 2 of these driver's diaphragms, thinking they'd fit in another brand's model. (You see, I prefer the sweeter sound of a phenolic diaphragm, over that of a harsher titanium one) But, they didn't fit. So, I merely shelved them for future use. But, after I ran into the spacing errors with all my existing 1" HF drivers, (JBL, EV, Selenium, Peavey, and Foster drivers), I began to look into these driver's spec's, and their size and smaller foot print. On paper, they seemed perfect for this refit. Once I got them, I compared them to all my existing 1" HF drivers, and I was very impressed! They came very close to sounding like my larger, more expensive JBL and Selenium drivers. Once installed, and crossed over with the supplied capacitor, the sound was amazing. These cabinets are tri-amplified by vacuum tube amplifiers, and the 8" JBL midwoofer mounted next to this DS18 driver were a perfect match. They compliment each other beautifully. Not only did this driver fit the required measurements of it's placing, but it also does an excellent job as a high frequency driver, coupled with the two JBL 8" and 15" front firing drivers. If I had ordered 4, instead of two, I would have also used them on the top firing array, with the aforementioned 1" PRV Audio midrange driver. (I employed a Selenium 1" D210Ti, instead) The end result is, that I am completely satisfied with this little, yet powerful driver, and it's incredible sounding frequency range. The nice thing is, I already have two spare diaphragms for them. (But, they're powered by a 50 watt tube amp, and I doubt I'll ever blow them, anyway) I definitely recommend these for not only their compact size, but for their sound quality. You will not be disappointed in whatever configuration you choose to employ them.
