Can you guys point me to some high end 2 way bookshelf designs? I just built some Jeff Bagby Continuums and they are great. I also already own some LS3/5a speakers as well. I need a new thing to obsess over.
This go around I would like to step up in bass ability, SPL etc. A true no holds bar ed. I am sure to get what I want means a reflex cabinet of a bit bigger size but let me know what is already out there that you folks are familiar with.
Thanks

and a three-way from the same cuisine
Minerva Monitor: "Patience my ***, I'm going to go build something!"
The latter is the one to be obsessed about. It is a passive radiator not bass reflex.

Very cool. Something different. I like!
Hi Stephen, I would not exclude these fine designs by Zaph, ZRT and SR71. The former is priced at just over US$ 1,000 and the latter arbout US$ 370 a pair/parts only. Madisound has these listed.
Thank you very much Lojzek. I appreciate the recommendation. I will certainly check them out.
Jeff Bagby’s Spirit Winds....as long as you're not actually putting them in a bookshelf
Cool. I have heard of these in passing so I will check them out. They would be a nice compliment to the Continuums!

These may push my current budget according to my wife
You could build my waves design. I haven't included information about the cabinet, but as long as you keep the cabinet width the same you can do whatever you want with the bass alignment. Both drivers are mounted centrally on the baffle with 132mm C2C distance between the tweeter and woofer. The main cabinet is 167mm wide.
What's so high end in Plutone ?
Large distance between driver centers ?
Too high crossover frequency for such a large midwoofer ?
Extremely generous Xmax of midwoofer (+/-3mm) ?
In theory you are right but I've heard enough excellent speakers that break all the rules above to know that there's a lot of rubbish spouted as facts on the Internet.
That's no good. He wants a 2-way bookshelf design.

Well, how can anyone compete with that

I kinda noticed, but that was more as what would be proper use for JA8008HMQ - that would be the opposite of Plutone. It was not a build suggestion for the OP. I did that in 4th post of this thread.

World Famous Designer Troels Gravesen developed a well documented Illuminator Monitor using the the ScanSpeak 18WU/8741T00 driver paired with either 7100 or 6600 tweeters. Troels developed two crossovers - time delay circuit and simple lower cost LR2/LR2. These are expensive drivers, but you can price shop for crossover parts. Great cabinet. The Phonar Credo company uses this design with bottom woofers.

World Famous Designer Jochim Gerhard developed the Kalasan SB Satori monitor in a well documented thread. Truncated pyramid cabinet for diffraction control. MW16P-8 midbass + TW29R-4 tweeter.... you can swap the lower cost SB29RDC tweeter with little sonic difference.
