T/S before burnin was almost identical with posted parameters.
After burnin, they changed a slight bit.
QMS a good bit higher than stated, which I consider a good thing.

I wonder if the off-axis behavior is due to the diffuser. Also, happy 9th birthday to the tweeter in the PE photoshoot.

Newark had (apparently) some large film caps at discount. While they are currently 87 bucks each, they cost me 72 bucks shipped for a pair while under the sale timespan. If I had known the sale would be over so soon, I would have posted earlier, however, I waited until arrival to say anything. It is however worth noting that Newark does this periodically to eliminate old stock. The link was brought to my attention on diyaudio. If you keep your eyes peeled, these kind of deals should come around.
Now that I have said all that, I was very surprised when these arrived in a box 4x the size in which I felt they should be contained. The image on Newarkās site shows the standard 3ā diameter Kemet capacitor of which we likely are all familiar.
I open the 4x large box to find 2 smaller boxes, and in those boxes were Manilla padded envelopes. The envelopes contained the small bags of connection bolts and washers, and the shockingly largest film caps Iāve ever purchased that approximate small coffee cans.
Approximately 5.5ā D x 5.5ā long, these behemoths measure 444uF and 447uF which is close enough to spec value of 460uF at 10% tolerance. I did not expect them to be quite this big. The price was just too good to pass up. Whoops. Iāve built speakers smaller than these.

You should build a speaker out of a tube the same diameter and use them as a base

I donāt recall seeing anything here, which is probably good regarding the level of gossip in has generated, but PE has been sold. Rumor has it to a Private Equity firm. Lots of hemming and hawing about what it might mean for the future of PE and Dayton Audio branded products.
I was browsing PE, specifically a woofer I have considered before, and wanted to check the quantity discount. Most drivers in the past have had a quantity discount if you buy 4+ (sometimes 10+) and most xo components have a qty discount for 10+. **I donāt see any quantity discounts anymore.** Obviously I didnāt check āeverythingā but I did check about 10 items that I know had qty discounts not very long ago.
