Because someone mentioned it I went ahead and did it

In my quest to acquire a pair of Vifa XT19s, the subject of using a PbT OT19NC00-04 tweeter in a waveguide. The idea kept nagging me so I figured I had to try it.

So I ordered a couple of the tweets and a pair of the Visaton waveguides. Do I have any idea if it will work and sound decent? Nope. This is my first foray into waveguides. I just wanted to do a goofy project to pass the abundant amount of time I currently have.

Why the XT19? XT25 will fit the Visaton waveguide perfectly.

Odd as it may appear, I prefer the 19. I don’t dislike the 25 but its little sibling has had my ear for a long time.

Got some calipers and a 3d printer? I could mock up a waveguide real quick.

I have no calipers where I’m at currently nor a 3D printer. That said I’d still be interested in what you can whip up. One piece of info I do know is that the diaphragm diameter (diaphramameter?) is 31 mm.

It was just a question. Relax.

Gets stuffy in here at times.
