Question British monitors driver ID - Ciare??????

Hi Guys,

Im trying to find the midwoofer used in these Quested monitors:

http://www.quested.com/data-sheets/S6R.pdf

Apparently they are from Ciare but I cant find anything out there. Tweeter is, I believe, Morel mdt20.

Thinking of doing a passive DIY version with a higher spec'd morel or dayton silky. The woofer has average extension but excellent accuracy and articulation in the low mids / bass which is what i am looking for in a speaker.

Probably a custom OEM job, Ciare do lots of them.

they had a character similar to the older paper Tannoy 5 1/4

current aftermarket candidates:


tang band W5-1880
Fostex FF125WK
Fountek FR135EX

Thought that might be the case

Thanks Davesnothere,

Are these suggestions based on specs or listening impressions? The TB looks good but is pricey. Has anybody had experience with these drivers? The fostex with 1.65mm xmax doesnt seem suitable for a sealed 2 way design with moderate SPL.
