good 2-way designs ?

[DIFORCE]

I need some recommendations on good 2-way designs .
I got a pioneer a-400X amp , Rated 60 watts but its dynamic control of the speaker is very bad ,So i think a 2-way design with 5.5' woofers that dont need alot of juice to sound great are the best way to go .

Just need information where to find some cooky-cutter proven designs out there

This thread is a little dated, but in case you get this reply:

I just built a pair of the Leach 2-way bookshelf speakers. I used the modified resistor values as mentioned in the text. All I can say is WOW! Very well balanced. A lot of math went into the design of this enclosure. You would not believe the tightness of the bass response unless you were to actually hear them for yourself. I am powering these with my LM3886 Gainclone (1 3886 per channel)

Vifa 2-Way Loudspeaker System

I have attached the dims that I used for the front panel.

I meant to mention that I sourced all of the components for this from parts-express.com. I used the Erse 18AWG air-core in 0.4mH & 0.7mH values, Solen 4.7uF metallized polypropylene cap, & Dayton 4 ohm & 8 ohm 10W resistors for the crossovers.

leach 2-way crossover alternative

If someone else has actually built these other than me, then this may be of interest.

Changed the "east coast sound" 4R, 8R2 l-pad to the "west coast sound" 3R, 15R l-pad as described in the text.

Also changed the Solen 4.7uF to an Audyn. Not sure that actually matters much.

With the l-pad mod, they are much livelier with my 12W6 PSE amp than before. It's more the type of sound I like. Well worth the change I think.

Oh well...

Having more fun than a barrel of monkeys with (affordable) Silver Flute woofers:

Tweeter (price drop btw): The Madisound Speaker Store

Woofer (8") The Madisound Speaker Store

Could build rectangle box with rear port, vs. front side ports.

btw II starting another pair this weekend.

Just an FYI:

The 6.5" woofers for the Leach 2-ways are still available at Madisound:
The Madisound Speaker Store

The Vifa D25AG-05-06 is discontinued, but there is a pair listed on you know where:
Vifa D25 Aluminum Dome Tweeters D25AG 05 06 | eBay

Fine sounding loudspeaker. Well worth the build.

The D23AG35 is sold out also.
Vifa, D25AG35
Wish I could find a pair; for a match up with the 6.5" Silver Flute ($30).
