Hello everyone, First Post!! What a great find this Site is.
I have built a pair of these. All parts were available at the time so I had no choice
They sounded real good with the D2430K installed and even better when I installed the 2450-SL with be diaphragms. The 2216nd is a awesome woofer and the waveguide does not loose high frequency when sitting in different locations of my sofa.
I currently run them with a Crown DCI 4300N. I had a chance to audition them with the iTech 5000 amps (in my house) and other than 300 watts more power I did not hear a difference. Time was limited with the amps though.
There are three different DSP solutions that I know of that will keep the intended curve when building a 5cf box and using the original xover and D2430K. BSS, Mini-DCP with open-DRC and Behringer DCX2496. I'm also a McIntosh guy so I may be looking into the DCX2496 since it's less expensive. Sadly enough my MC2100 and MC2155 have been parked since going to this system over a year and a half. That said if I didn't have the chance to gather these parts for an M2 build, I would have been happy with what I have.
Thanks,
Scott
