They are 'full range' drivers. Copies of a classic Mitsubishi design from the 1950s, the original Diatone P610. Free air resonance is quoted at around 45Hz and the top end extending to 20kHz (allegedly). The Diatone is not well known in the UK, but originals sell for around $500 US dollars in America and the Far East. I feel a big horn (cabinet) coming on! First, I think for simplicity's sake I'll give them a try-out on open baffles to start evaluating what they can do. I'm optimistic.
This is the Diatone I'd be interested in hearing:

I have feeling that may not be a full range unit though Martin.
It *may* just struggle to get above, oh I don't know, 100Hz?![]()
Not much trouble going down the way though!
