Best 12" Driver?


I am upgrading the drivers in my 15 year old Infinity Kappa 7's. I have installed Dynaudio dome midranges and tweeters. They have much better sound dispersion and detail at moderate to high volume than the original EMIT's. As an experiment I have substituted top quality 12" bass guitar speakers to good effect. But, I question if I am missing some vocal nuances with them. I am looking for any recommendations for replacement 12" drivers. These are large well made sealed acoustic cabinets. I play bass and the injection molded poly 12's have always seemed deficient in the upper bass range. The current crossover is at 600Hz. I have heard good things about Focal, but can't find a dealer for them on the web. If you know of sources on the web I would appreciate that feedback also. Thanks, Brother Ray

Focal's are very good indeed, you can check with www.Zalytron.com out of Long Island N.Y. or Solen Electronics in Canada.(you'd have to do a name search for them). One other site is www.orcadesign.com which is a large Focal dealer and U.S. designer of great speaker kits based on focal drivers. I have had great success with their raw drivers in biulding some home-brew speakers that turned out very , very nice. Bass was extremely tight and musical at a reasonable cost.Good Luck!!!!!Bruce
