Suggest Me Peerless Drivers to Choose

[Hari655]

Hello All,

Recently in one of the threads saw the source to get the peerless drivers:

DIYAUDIOCART:clapping::yahoo:

Peerless Fabrikkerne

Need help from you guys in selecting the drivers for my requirement laid down below:

Room Dimension: 12 Feet x 17 Feet

2 Towers 3 - way
1 Center 2 -Way
1 Subwoofer
2 Bookshelf 2 - Way


The main usage of the HT set up would be for Movies and ocasionally for music.

The sound should feel me like i am watching movie in INOX or IMAX something like that..

Please suggest me something good...!

I know this project will take too long time (6 - 8 months for learning,reading, reading and reading)and too much money but i would still go for it.


Thanks,
Hari

Hari,

I would recommend you to go with the below mentioned configuration:

2 Towers 3 - way (TL25SN - Tweeter, M13KH/M13NH - Mid Bass, SB25NP - Woofer)
1 Center 2 -Way (TL25SN - Tweeter, M13KH/M13NH - Mid Bass)
1 Subwoofer (12" Peerless Sub-Woofer)
2 Bookshelf 2 - Way (TL25SN - Tweeter, M13KH/M13NH - Mid Bass)

This configuration really makes your dream comes true....

^^ +1 to what is recommended by bijin. Only a small doubt. Will TL25AN wont be sufficient?

Best of luck for completing the project and to achieve the expected result

IMO you will get much better sound than the multiplex theatres but the ambience!

I will take this project sooner or later so this will be a very good stage rehearsal for me.

Do you have idea about electronics filter ckt? Pls don't buy ready made crossovers. They are craps.

Sorry for the OT..

If I am interested in doing a good book shelf speakers 2 way for music only what would you suggest.

Thanks in advance..

For towers all the three drivers have different Impedance like woofer has 8 ohms, Mid has 4 ohms and Tweeter as 6 Ohms. Will this be matching ? Since I am a novice to this field please suggest

 

[bijinmb]

The impedance matching should be taken care in the Crossover Network you design.

TL25AN is also good but i feel TL25SN having more natural sound to TL25AN. It's like Silk Dome Vs Aluminium Dome.Both has its own pros and cons. Anyway it totally depends upon once taste!

Without much thought I would use the yellow Kevlar mid/bass driver and the tweeter that has a long tail. I am on mobile so couldn't check their site now for part number.

 

[jmascreen]

Will that ready available Xover do the job ?

 

[koushik]

Avoid ready made crossover unless it is a part of kit. Every drivers require different XO design.

Hello Everyone!!

Thanks a lot for the reply.

Luckily...i got PM from Goldy sir from my city, saying that he has some peerless drivers from jeetubhai(mumbai) sealed. I am waiting for his response on the driver details.

Once i have the details of the drivers he has i would request you all to help me find matching drivers which can help me complete my set up.

But really thanks ...thanks a ton for your valuable responses and feedback.:yahoo:

Thanks,
Hari

Guys,

Are the specs correctly stated in the website?
I found the following Fs:

8" Woofer -------- Fs: 29.97 Hz
10" Woofer ------- Fs: 34.76 Hz
12" Woofer ------- Fs: 25.01 Hz

Is it okay?

Hey, I would suggest you to audition, before you buy the drivers. I recently made mine using peerless and you can come and check the sound quality.

 

[koushik]

That's great. Please post some pics and additional info about your make. Which drivers? Where you source the crossover, etc?

Hello All,

First of all i should thank thenvk!! for the audition of his towers..

First time i have auditioned some DIY Stuff.

The towers he made sound superb..and they definitely met his requirement, THUMPING BASS.

He shared his experience on the DIY route.

But still i would say the itch is still inside me, i want to test and taste this route.

The toughest part is the Crossovers as per his experience, even i felt that after so much reading.

So I think i would first start off with the bookshelfs, if that is successful let me go with the next one's.

Thanks,
hari

The drivers will be sourced from DIYAUDIOCART
Peerless - 5.25" Kevlar Cone Woofer - M13KH

2 Pieces : Peerless - 4" Coated Paper Cone Woofer - M10NG
The drivers i will buy from one of our forum members in hyderabad

2 Pieces : Peerless - 25mm Silk DomeTweeter - TL25SN
The drivers will be sourced from DIYAUDIOCART

Now after the audition my goals is both music and movies.


Please give your suggestions and feedbacks.

A bit off-topic but I am thinking of this kit. The total damage till it reaches to my home is around 14k (including international/local shipping/customs/duties etc.,) and I am presuming the wood and other expenditure might come to 6k. So a total of 20k for a MTM kit how does this fare for music with a stereo amplifier (not yet decided which stereo/integrated amplifier).

thanks
