a wide variety of drivers work well in this design. |

I would put my pair of Tuba30s up against any box on the planet of equal size, including a single Lab. |

a pair of DR250 tops |

I ran a pair of Labs outdoors, half space, I ran DR250's on top, very efficient horn loaded design. The sound was balanced with recorded music, I think we played some Tool at full power. The 250 needed everything from the pair of Labs. |

No, the 280 has similar output to the 250, but has a larger mouth area, so it loads better down lower. The 300 is a different animal, horn loads to 80Hz and narrower dispersion, like 60 deg vs the 250 at 120 deg. The DR boxes have amazing midbass punch and clarity. They will not outrun a pair of Labs (assuming you have a few kw per Lab available), but will combine nicely. |

The way I priced them the Lab will cost about $12.00 more than the T36/24" The drives for Lab are $146 each and need two = $292.00 The (recommended)driver for T36/24" wide is $282.00 best I can tell both take about 3 - 4 X 8 sheets although the t36 uses some of it 1/2". The best price I can find it is only one dollar different in price. At first, I thought the same as you -- build two for the price of one. That made the decision easier. Now that they are the same price I don't know which to build. |
