How are you crossing over the SA tweeter?

Currently I cross them with second order at 12K, near Bessel Q, but not exactly. I did not play with crossover trying to tube it more precisely. It turn out the my driver was too “fresh” and it need some time to settle down it it’s default operation mode. I might consider to drive the driver slightly harder and to cross it with third order and I getting too soft. Interesting that it has completely different softness then T350. The T350 has tonal softness but the SA8535 has dynamic softness. I might need to try to drive the SA8535 with more power perhaps…

Anyhow, I do not looking at this point to finalize my view on the SA8535. It would be interesting to try the Arum Cantus G1 driver, wish it presumably a “real ribbon” and should have zillion times lighter transuding mass). After I pick “the semifinal winner” it will be a good contestant to the driver that Alexander will come up with…. So I’m holding now will try to play for a next moth getting the SA8535 and perhaps G1 (if I get one) to “behave”… It is very possible that it will be not “juts” a second order at 12K.
