smnjn · 9th July 2010, 07:15 AM

I have designed a 2 way loudspeaker system using latest Scanspeak Drivers in conjunction with Madisound. The kit is available here:

How does it sound?

Does the hds tweeter sound similar to other SS tweeters?

That's a nice documented project, Suman Jana. Nice tweeter.

HDS tweeter is a near perfect tweeter with very very minor dip at 6.5 khz (not audible) and controllable top octave peaking. It sounds absolutely neutral and it has got terrific off-axis performance. It may have slighly higher distortion numbers than 6600 air-circ above 2k but distortion level is very very low by any standards.

Suman, many thanks for the opportunity to listen to this wonderful speaker. I hope that soon they will be in a great room where they can really flex their muscles, but for now I absolutely loved how they sounded. Proud to see that someone from Calcutta can design a world-class speaker!

Another 2 way design named Opus Mini featuring the same HDS tweeter and Seas ER18RNX midwoofer in the pipeline. Stay tuned!

Great News!!! Madisound reduced the price of Scan-Speak Rediscovery kit. Now the kit costs less than the cost of drivers. Enjoy!

If anyone want to build the Rediscovery Loudspeaker with SB 29RDC tweeter here is the crossover.

Thank you. You may have just shown me the next 2-way I build.
