That ED midbass looks huge and heavy

Going three way will be next year's thing, at least.

Speakers are actually a diy project a guy did in states and I bought it thru net for about $150. It's got dayton drivers and has very similar setup as this one. Amp is a no name tube amp my dad gave me years ago. Very heavy with around 8 tubes on it. Source is APE file on computer with a Emu-1212 sound card, analogue out to the tube amp. No preamp. Cable...again a gift from dad, very thich stuff with banana plugs. That's all I can see now.

Hmmm..... interesting. so you were also comparing vacuum tube amp with a 12V Rockford Fosgate amp...

Would you know what tubes (brand & type) are in that amp? and what brand cables.

Let me take pics tomorrow cuz I really don't know much about these stuff. I am more into headphone, i got a pair of HD600 and a Corda Aria amp. I always use the headphones and a audiophile cd as sound reference to compare systems I hear.

I know the rockford amp is ok but is it that bad compared to a tube amp? Maybe that's why the midrange has such big difference eh?

u know there's some popular speaker diy project (not kits) on the internet that shows you how to do ur crossover, what components(resistors, caps, etc) to use, the enclosure specs, and what drivers (brand, model) to use, etc. Most of these projects are referring to partsexpress.com for materials. I wanted to do one particular project but i didn't have the tools especially for the enclosure so I just bought a finished one from a guy in states. The materials only cost around $100 and the guy sold me for $150. The speaker actually sounds amazing for $150.

Edit: I managed to find this particular "project" web page: The Dayton II Project
