Just messing about.

I've got a bunch of decent full range drive units that have not been used, so I'm doing a quick evaluation by mounting them in spare cabinets on temporary baffles, with some wadding added. I'm mainly listening for general tonal character and top end definition. No, I'm not doing anything 'by the book' here, but it'll give me an idea.

First up, 5.5 inch Chinese 8 ohm Aucharm units. These are very nicely built and finished, on a par with Coral and Fostex. They sound very punchy and clear, you'd not guess you were listening to such small units, no top end nasties at all either. Seem easy enough to drive, I think sensitivity is around 90db (I have the details somewhere).



I'll be trying 5.5 inch Canon units later, they should be nice too, I've used them before.
