NOMEX 164 mkII Based on feedback, the NOMEX-164 is one of the most popular speakers in my portfolio. The mkI dates back to 2010 and with the experience gained since then it's time for an update with some modifications allowing a simpler crossover and a lower point of crossover. The speaker now features a better sounding time-aligned 2nd order filter. The NOMEX cones still deliver some of the best midrange money can buy and the 9130 tweeter a treble that ranks among the very best. With 90 dB sensitivity and an easy load, this speaker can be driven from low-wattage/high-quality amplifiers. Replaced by mkII version above Peerless HDS164 Nomex 830875 + ScanSpeak D2608/9130
I think these drivers deliver an excellent cost performance ratio and I was really surprised when I made the final set-up in our living room driven by my JungSon class A amp. I usually make my test crossovers from Superior Z-caps, good baked coils and 10 watt MOX resistors and all in all these drivers makes me wonder why I ever spend money on "high-end" drivers. These NOMEX drivers have an excellent midrange presentation and if you're seeking a driver that will handle vocals with grace, try out these drivers. Click heading to go to construction page. |
