Default seeking morel 1st order diy project

Hearing the rbs 1 on youtube using some hd-555 headphones, the vocal intelligibility was awesome.

AK Fest 2010: RBS-1 Morel Speakers, Grant Fidelity W30GT tube amp, Opera Consonance wireless DAC - YouTube

Grant Fidelity RBS-1 Speakers Review

I was wondering if anyone has a project (2 way) using morel tweets I can get a partsexpress (now) but using 1st order networks. This would be a low volume system or maybe crossed at 200hz 24db LR if I wanted to boogie.

We picked up an idea from a local speaker shop using morel tweeters in a 2-way, but you have to throw out the rule book.

Very simple, use a good quality 3.3 cap for the morel, I do know it should be 2, 3, 4 times larger.

The idea is simple is better. I still use some of the speakers with the 6db (3.3 cap) crossovers, they do pretty good. The fellow above sold 2-ways for $2,500 - $3,000.

Hi,

That is the poorest excuse for wanting something I've ever come across.

SQ on that clip is not good, no bass, at all, and limited treble. Just
to check I downloaded the MP3, that slaughters it on all counts.

How on earth can you think a youtube clip reflects actual sound quality ?

Video cam sound is set up for vocal intelligibility, its not remotely hifi.

rgds, sreten.
