RickD Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Hi Folks - I am looking for opinions on the mid-range drivers from B&C and BMS. I'll be using Al's gentle slope crossover. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel TJ Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I have no experience with the BMS, but I used a pair of B&C DE750TNs on some ZXPC horns for the past couple of years in a two-way configuration. Just recently switched to some Eminence drivers for better high end. The B&C drivers worked great from 400hz up. They are very robust and had no problem with the 400hz crossover point. Sounded great in the mids, but the Ti diaphragm is not the cleanest up high. If you are using them in a 3-way configuration, the highs would not be an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieStl Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 No experience with that exact B&C driver but have the BMS in a set of Belles that sound very nice. Just my 2 cents. edit: "very nice" doesn't do it justice. They sound wonderful. (but I'm easy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickD Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 I have the VTracII horns, and currently have the K55s attached with his adapters. I'll go with the BMS. Problem is I am running out of folding money. Bought a new McIntosh MA352, an RME ADI DAC, the V-Tracs, Crite's Cross-over and CT-120. Today I am going to buy a pair of DaveA's SMAHL horns. If I didn't already have the Khorns I'd probably have to find a job. Bought those in 1987 new for $1000 each. Thanks for your opinion.

babadono Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Does it have adjustable taps for the "squawker" like his ES networks? I use(d) the ES type. BTW I know what R.R. meant----not sure what you mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 @Deang didn't you once upon a time start a thread asking how much folks attenuated the BMS 4592? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I am all active I don't have an attenuation problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickD Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 Not sure, something I'll check into. Al is not taking orders until July 1 so have time to check it out. I hit by a reckless driver and required surgery. Made a full recovery but the ladies insurance company didn't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
