Hi,
I'd like to know your opinion about these DIY
speakers based on top of the Scan-Speak's range drivers.
It's just an idea at the moment :

Floorstanders, approx. 90cm h, 20cm w, 40cm d . Closed,
not vented box. Tweeter : Scan-Speak D2905/990000 REVELATOR
[ http://www.scan-speak.dk/speakers-new/d2905-990000.htm ].
Midrange (2300Hz) AND Bass (down to 40Hz) : Scan-Speak
18W/8545K00 17cm, carbon filled fibre paper
[ http://www.scan-speak.dk/speakers-new/18w-8545k00.htm ].
Bass only (230Hz - 40Hz) : another identical Scan-Speak
18W/8545K00. 2.5way speaker : tweeter on top - mid&bass - bass .
I've never heard these components, it's just a project
that enthralls me, BUT CAN the 2 18W/8545K00 woofers work
'fine' in a 'closed', non-reflex, speaker, though working
together from 230Hz to bottom end? I wouldn't look for
extreme energy and high levels, but a 'reasonable' bass :
deep, fast, agile. My room and my ears don't require
much power, just a dynamic sense of rhythm : my head
should start following it spontaneously. Just who's using
those paper/carbon 17cm woofers can advise me, I think.
The 2.5way project comes from my present speakers and
I'd like to keep on using it : can I START developing the
crossover of the new speakers FROM the present one?
Same structure and different values? Or is the distance
between B&W drivers and Scan-Speak's too large to think
about an initial common base?

          Ok, here I stop and thank you in advance,

                       Gianluca

P.S.:
Two 20cm 21W/8555-01's instead of 17cm
[ http://www.scan-speak.dk/speakers-new/21w-8555-01.htm ]
are possible, but it's surely harder to find an accord with
the REVELATOR tweeter..
