IMHO that's the most desirable small driver, at least with the right fram.Originally Posted by gearfreak
Figger $300 for the drivers and another $100 for the horns as an average deal it was about 40% off.
Hoping they found a good home with somebody who will care for them.

Assuming the same diaphragms, is there a noticable difference in sound between these drivers?
Between which ones, the 808-8b and ___ ?
This is just my opinion, but in my world i prefer the tangerine equipped drivers for higher SPL listening and higher XO, and the annular phased drivers for lower level casual listening and anything XO'd below 1khz.
It could just be "placebo" effect i suppose, but to me the annular phased drivers seem to deliver slightly better(more natural IMO) HF at low levels while the tangerines can be driven harder before encountering driver cry.
When it comes to "value", the tangerines generally prevail in that contest.
I own, use, and enjoy both driver types and overall don't have a preference outside of the above statements.
Not all vegetables make good leaders.
Interesting.
One of these days I must try this thing called listening at lower levels.

Back when I had a basement, I listened at lower levels...as expected though, the noise floor ate up my headroom...

That must be why you no longer have a basement eh Feesh? The noise floor consumed it?Back when I had a basement, I listened at lower levels...as expected though, the noise floor ate up my headroom...

Nah, the landlord booted me for making too much racket.
