We are working on some minor details like how to mount the crossover.
I think it will be available in a bit more then a month.
The kit will be distributed by the SB importers and some local dealers will have it too.
I will sell the kit too but even i have to buy it from the German importer.

Question about measurements in #413
Hallo Joachim,
I have some questions about your measurements in #413:
1. I think Satori Mon DIY 1.0 FRD.pdf is the mesuremet infront of the box. Because the phase is linear falling it and no big steps can be found it looks ideal. Is this phase made by the step in front of the case?
2. How is this measurement Satori Mon DIY 1.0 FRD null.pdf, made, because it looks not so ideal?
3. Is in this mesurement Satori Mon DIY 1.0 individual phase.pdf the tweeter with the filter measured as red line and the bas as blue line separately?

Hi Ampi,
This measurement Satori Mon DIY 1.0 FRD null.pdf is made with reversed polarity on one of two speakers.

Any way either of you two gents (Jeff or Joachim) ever plan to design a bass section for your designs.
Given the floor space a stand occupies a bass section (like the famous Puppy) would be a nice idea and even extend the SPL capabilities of your Monitors.
Hello all,
interesting and constructive thread this is.
I'm not posting much (not an expert as some guys here), but following continously. Thanks to Mr. Gerhard for sharing all this with DIY community.
With this new Satori generation I would be interested to build kit for myself, not only for listening, but also for development of my knowledge in speakers design and measurements. I like 4 ohm version and fat-ceramic-penguin look - total DIY and completely opposite to classy appearence of official kit.
Maybe I missed, but are the dimensions of that box defined anywhere (except baffle width and thickness)? If there are some legal reasons between Mr. Gerhard and SB I will understand. Otherwise, it is essential to follow geometry, it is shown how smallest changes can influence performance...
Other question would be regarding amplifier requirements. Are Pass Aleph 30 or PP KT88 UL (40W) enough for smaller listening rooms? I guess that low-loss, light cone Satori is easy to drive monitor? Or it needs some current reserves?
TNX!
Regards, Sasa.

Still i was not able to catch up here.
I have Skyped with SB in Indonesia and they will ship the first cabinets to Denmark at the end of this month.
There are no copyright issues with the simpler DIY version in the self made box.
It is only for the ready made cabinets that even i have to buy it from the official importers.
I build one of the chip board boxes with tiles but not the other so i could not listen in Stereo.
I hope to have that ready in the next two weeks. Then i will also give the full details how to build that version.

I hope everyone will have a chance to listen to Kalasan, I would love to hear your Comments and suggestion for future projects.

Color options on tweeter flanges
To answer everyone yes we can offer the single color plates if your distributor asks for them. so far we only made the 2 color plates to kind of show it is acutally made in 2 pieces.

Kit at RMAF
I attended RMAF today. The Satori speakers in the new cabinets were there but were not playing as the gents from Madisound indicated one of the tweeter connections came loose in transit. Bummer. But the cabinets were quite beautiful -- stunning really. Also, there was one Ekta speaker in a black glossy cabinet there and it looked quite nifty.
As to the Sartori cabinets, what price range will they be offered in? I very much look forward to the kit's release.
