Eminence Beta 10cx 10 Coaxial Driver For Mac
Yes, I know the Beta 10cx is a poor choice for an open baffle but they turned up and my workshop is closed for 2 weeks and I couldn't help myself...
So, cardboard, gaffer tape and paper fasteners to the rescue. Voila! Instant OB so I can at least listen to them.
I elected to try them out in the Eminence endorsed arrangement with an ASD1001 and the PXB2:2K5CX crossover and bought 4 sets as a trial run.
The crossovers are the best made I have ever seen.
So how do they sound? Well, it is a speaker with a QTS of 0.39 in an undesigned OB. So, weak bass extension is a given.
They sounded appalling when I first started them up, midrange shrieking like a banshee and a top end that was soft and hard at the same time. The sinking feeling we all know and dread - have I backed a dud?
Well, they got better of course. They still only have a few hours on them, and I am not yet sure they are quite 'Hi-Fi' in terms of stored energy and HD but there is no denying they are very efficient and seem to have tremendous dynamic range and resolution of detail. What bass there is, is very tuneful with great pitch definition which gives me hope for the MLTLs I plan to put them in.
I will report back after they have run in a bit more (hoping the midrange shout continues to abate and the tweeter smooths out).
