- Some drivers are...well...more expensive than others. But have you ever wondered if they are any different. Materials? Craftsmanship? Well today we look at the craftsmanship of the Dayton Esoteric Drivers and the Peerless Corundum. We also talk about the plans to use these with UA-camr Doublsmm.

I have that dayton woofer, excited to see what you say and recommend crossover wise. Have been eye
ng that tweeter! Excited for that too! Keep it up man! Love the vids.
I’m excited to see the build
Isn't your first birthday technically your second birthday? 🤔
They really are beautiful looking drivers!
I'll have to check those out,I want to build some bookshelf/ nearfield speakers for a Christmas present.
You should definitely test if flush mounting that tweeter causes a noticeable improvement in frequency response.
Those are good lookin drivers... Sounds like a cool project man!
Have 20 of those woofers, v nice sound. Interested in the large format version of that tweet for old school big paper woofer build
I have the tweeter in my F150 extremely happy with the performance and SQ
Your driver choice looks excellent...
would love to see the flush mount comparison!
Those are nice speakers! Looks like carbon fiber cones! Witch gives u a different sound then paper.
I really wish I had the patience and knowledge to DIY speakers. Q: see mostly plywood being used for cabinets. I'd though MDF was better due to consistency of density.
How is the peerless corundum sounds character? Im looking a warm and musical tweeter for music
Very nice woofer indeed. Are you by any chance replace this esoteric 7” woofer into your tower speaker that is in your living room? That would be my dream speaker and if you would please share the crossover design. Cheers.
Hmmm I got my eye on you Dayton Audio! Those look very similar to Dynaudio mids 😉. Great video man keep up the good work!
They look like Dynaudio, because they are Dynaudio design. Copyright must have expired, so Dayton sends them to Taiwan & puts their stamp on it.
That's not true at all
Does any one have fed and zma files for the peerless DA32TX‑08 tweeter?
You actually kinda look like seth rogen lmao! Cool! Thnx for the aweome speaker videos and tips!
Where is the build with those drivers?
That is a massive tweeter!
It is insane! And I may just love it ;)
The only bummer is that the woofers have a very low SPL output. The tweeter and it's bigger brother 1.25" are amazing!
Are they made for sealed or ported cabinets? What about using a passive radiator?
Looking for a tweeter with this sensitivity and low fs! do you think it will be able to be crossed down at 1250 hz with second order filter (10-12 db down at 1khz) @ 50wpc?
I cross this around 1250 a few times, but I always use a third order to cut down on distortion and give it more power handling. Could it do a second order? I'm sure it would. But I believe anytime you're crossing over a tweeter that low, a third order is typically best practice
@@Toid thanks alot for the reply ✌️🙏
I’ve been designing an acrylic horn-type enclosure in Fusion 360 to fabricate on a CNC machine. Here’s the kicker, I know how to design and machine, but have never built a speaker or cross-over. Ha! I’ve been using WinISD to get the physics right, but even that’s been an education. In any case, if you’d like to see what I have done or have interest in helping me get it right, drop me a line. Cheers.
How did you like these tweeter? Look good on paper.. but how do they sound?
I really enjoyed them
The 7" are v good, just wish the rollover was bigger
I have to say, I really love the 7's as well. There's a couple things that aren't my favorite, but if you work the crossover right, they sound fantastic.
Niceee
the esoteric series woofers are more like a thing for certain kinds of audiophile. they don't excel in performance, kinda 'meh' actually. the only real notable thing about them is outstandingly high vc inductance (which means they are sluggish) i guess they're designed this way to make them sound round, smoothed out or something like that, some audiophiles really love that kind of sound.
I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll hold off on my performance feelings until the next video. But you make some great points.
WHat is the tweeter made from???......Im presuming either Beryllium or titanium !!!!
Corundum
How are your impressions of this build?
It’s like you knew in advance that I was going to be working on a new center channel...
Haha! Nice one 👌
Side question...any idea where I can get a DATS V2 system since PE is sold out and the V3 won’t be available until August? I can either buy or borrow...
*thicc* voice coil :)
for someone coming to your channel for the first time it may sound as if you work for parts express?
Sorry you feel that way. They did send me the drivers, but these are my honest first impressions of them. I plan to do a part 2 with measurements that should help see some data on how they actually perform.
When i saw how small of a box these drivers need i literally flipped. for the smaller one its literally .13ft 3.
$185 total for both.
Now I found my driver, I was going to go with dynavox 5" mid with a 3" coil
They don't make them with the honeycomb yellow Cones like the dynavox have
Yes I am aware
Hey , do you have a buisness email ? I want to discuss some partnership we can work together .

DUDE.. for you to give all the credit in engineering design to Dayton, when these are a total rip off of Dynaudio?!?? The copyright must have expired.
Yes -- great speakers, amazing design, but credit where credit is due: thank Danish engineers.
I honestly haven't used the dynaudio driver that you're referring to. There are some people though that claim this. But I have no first-hand experience of it. Do you know which driver it is?
Chris, I think you are confused, these are not ripoffs Dynaudio drivers. The basic design may resemble the Dynaudio/Morel style, but as we all know, looks mean very little in speaker design. Not to mention that there are other drivers on the market that are designed to look more similar to Dynaudio and Morel than the Dayton Audio drivers.
@@Toid I'm guessing this is an age thing, since I've seen the progression over the years. Dynaudio pioneered this design long before all others. The patent has long-since expired, but licence was purchased from Dynaudio for some of Morel's designs back in the day, and many rip-offs came after the expiration (Dynavox, HiVi, & now Dayton). My point being: if you're going to focus on engineering/design in your videos, you should do your due diligence & give credit where credit is due. The brilliant engineers should be given credit, not the replication company.
@@GeoffSchneider410 I'm confused? You're uneducated (on this matter). Morel licensed Dynaudio's design while the patent was active. All others replicated Dynaudio's design after patent expiration.
I hate doublsmm
Morel copy .....
