I think we're mostly stuck with 30095 or 30019 if you're on a reasonable budget. Haven't found any sonion tweeters, and have been looking for any e25 or e50

I think if more people bought Sonion stuff Soundlink on Aliexpress might expand its product range. The sonion drivers I heard all sounded better than anything Knowles.

Before 2019 you can only buy 33AJ, 33AP007, 2389 on yoycart, but there was E25 too.
Actual Soundlink Sonion's stock is impressive. For difficult cases there are even more wonderful people.

Hi people! How's everybody? I hope it's ok Ask if any have already tested RDI-33438? my set would be the RDI-33438 DWFK-31785 and SWFK 31736
The choice of dwfk is more balanced lows
I would need some help with the crossover

I received the opportunity to be able to order any Sonion driver with a minimum order quantity of 25 pcs. Is anyone interested in the 26-E25WT02/9? I might be able to do a group buy!

I'd suggest RDI full range 2x20mm, common tube for 2x15mm DWFK 20-10uF (or full range?), SWFK 470nF or 470x2nF parallel, probably reverse polarity for RDI, SWFK is needed. No dampers. Edit: you can also check zobel 20uF cap +30ohm resistor connected parallel to wires.

Thanks so much! Veri nice set up
I’ll try definitely !
same to me
Rdi full range (maybe red damper?)
DWFK 10uF (white damper?)
SWFK 2 mm tube id 1,8 mm long

I don't see the point of investing in electrostatic for DIY without a background in reverse engineering and a lot of experience in armatures. 120$ for pair EST is a package of drivers for the top of the line DIY project.
38D1XJ007Mi is a bass crushing, rumble beast. The best woofer without low pass filter problems.
This might be a good candidate to put the dwfk in a zobel of the rdi. Then have swfk in parallel to that. I didn't do all the math but quick look at the datasheets, seems feasible.

To my ears find the rdi with too much mids...
Maybe can atenúate by 1 mm id

If you use 1mm in this, you will reduce depth from 10/10 to 4/10. The stage and air will be reduced and there will be a mono sound impression.

Yes , but, increase lows and let the air to SWFK... increasing the tube distance if not affect the phase

Like a PA system run low on mono cut them and let the DWFK and SWFK breathing
Array them reinforce mids from dwfk
And hi’s from SWFK with make a trumpet
TL : DR - Please recommend the best sounding driver setup that requires a minimal amount of soldering/setup. My focus is primarily the design/printing side of things but I'd still like them to sound good.
So I just got my impressions with the goal to build my own IEMs. I'm handy with a soldering iron but know next to nothing about driver/crossover science. I currently listen on Tin T2s with custom diy molded tips. To me, the soundstage is very nice (I consistently hear something off to the side in the distance and turn to see what it was only to realize it was something in what's coming through the audio) and I'm hoping to meet or exceed that with my DIEMs. What driver setup should I use? I've found that the Tin T2s seem kind of hard to drive with a FIIO BTR3K and the FIIO UTWS1's. I seem to have to nearly max out the volume to comfortably hear the audio if I'm not in a relatively quiet environment. I'd love for my diy's to be easier to drive so I can use those BT receivers if possible.
I've done some reading but I'm still unclear on what to use and how to connect things (series/parallel etc) so I'd like to find something easy(ish) to install or some write-up of what drivers to use and how to connect them.
I know this information exists somewhere in the 837 pages here but I'd prefer to get these done sooner rather than later after spending the next year reading through all the posts.
Thank you for taking pity on a first time poster here and dropping your knowledge on me!

I was told the ESTs are not that hard to implement as they need no damping, what seems hard is rather attenuating the other drivers for their higher efficiency
