shorting rings?

you should stick all 6 of them in some towers

Well, 4 of them for sure... I need a pair in reserve! A nice MTM alignment, with the tweeter right at about sitting height? I could listen to WoW sound effects through those, and be pretty darn happy! :) OOH!! A series crossover! Always wanted to try one of those... Perhaps some details to follow, once I have them in hand! Perhaps a REALLY nice patio speaker system? Since my room IS right there... I have a 440 watt (into 8 ohms, too!) amp... Some FLAC recordings stored up on the home server... Summer IS on the way, and the BBQs flow aplenty at my house in the summer... Dammit... I gotta stop thinking about it! It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

what is an MTM alignment?

Here's the tweeter I'm using with the Mpyre: http://www.acousticdev.com/cms/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56:ceradome-tweeter&catid=38:uncategorized&Itemid=60 You have to love the extension in both directions and the impressive off-axis response.

The SDX-7 is quite good, but optimized for use in a 2-way so it gives up a little low end to achieve better high-end extension.  If you want to cross below 1K try the EX-6.5 from Kevin Haskins at Exodus.  Basically the same spaekr but with better output below 100Hz:  http://www.diycable.com/main/product_info.php?cPath=24_93_150&products_id=538  They both use an improved version of the Extremis/Mpyre motor structure.

I love DW's ceramic dome tweeter.  I have a couple of them staring me in the face right now.  :)

Interesting. I didn't think Kevin was going to be selling his midrange outside of his kits. He must have changed his mind.
