No I mean its a true 2" exit. The Faital is a 1.4" driver with a adapter which expands to 2"... Works really well but is not a 2" driver... its a 1.4" with included adapter.

Interchangable sonicly. Id go B&C as its true 2" driver.

Zu speakers tend to not be as efficient as reported on paper. Many love them. The union is a 2k coxial with an eminence 10" and what appears to be a eminence ASD1001B... better be one amazing crossover for that $100 worth of drivers :-). Oh I forgot... they cut the dust cap away. I’ve had 2 customers who had the Omen and loved them... 97db efficient with 12ohm load. When run with SE amps the customers were not very happy (5-10watts) and stepped up to push pull amps as a result. They appear with good fit and finish but I think you could explore and find a lot of great 2k speakers. La Scalas and Cornscala too :-).

Faital HF200 has worked really well for me. B&C DE85TN is another fantastic choice. I have a DE750... Id say the 85 is a better choice... The 750 seems much more efficient and required more padding to integrate well.

Its a wonderful sound... maybe not as large in scale as my eliptrac versions wholly satisfying. I went a bit taller on the cab then I would have needed if I went K7/ CT125 or Dave's eliptrac tweeter with Eminence apt25, but I wanted to allow use of whatever tweeter I could find. The tweeter is the Eminence ASD1001B which is titanium and can cross low at 2500hz. I may try the B&C's DE120 but its 2x the cost. The Eminence ASD1001B is 1" 2/3 bolt pattern or as a screw on for $30 each... nice option. Re it being more compact... it is.. its 2" shorter on the side and ~8" shorter in the back. It allows me pivot the top hat and point the horns toe in without moving the bass bin. The Walnut eliptrac is the brainchild of Dave. He cut some mortarboards for me out of solid walnut and I guess they cut like butter and as such there was a proof of concept. Although my cabs are stained in a med. Walnut I didn’t keep them installed and went back to the back tweeter lens… Id have to try and match the solid walnut finish to the finish possible on the plywood… prob too hard to do. Glade people like… too bad no one is close enough to listen. I have them in my primary listening room… they are super sweet sounding.

Ive started listing my top plates set up for the DIYer in us all. $300 with parts included. Plate is 2.5mm thick. Black anodized. 10x14". Its laser cut with all you need to build a 1st rate amp... Maybe a RH84?

And the last of the final touches. I had no takers on the Selenium D250X drivers. As the crossover was setup for this... I thought, why not a self contained spare. On some SS amps I build I add a complete board remounted for such rainy day occurrences.
