Anyone know about these??

[steenoe]

I have had 2 sets of drivers from a friend. I hope some of you guys and Ladies (if any) can tell something about them.
2 tweeters 19mm it says on the label: Rega D2008/7203
made by Scanspeak. It also says Rega Ela.
2 Bassdrivers about 41/2" - 5" depending on where it is measured. It says on the label RR125 Rega.
Papercone with phaseplug.
I am not even sure they come from the same speakers.
So if anyone can tell if it 4 or 8 ohm's and what boxes they come from, well all information is welcomed.
I had these for soldering a chipamp for the guy!
Cheap I think, considering the small amount of solder that goes into that amp

First a pic of both drivers.

The last one: tweeter.

REGA.

Roy Gandy of REGA Turntables fame also manufactures CD players and amplifiers and Loudspeakers.

He used Modified drive units hence REGA part no's on OEM drive units.

He hated x overs so set about designing loudspeakers where the voice coil resistance inductance etc could be used as an integral part of the x over. Hence the bespoke drive units.

I personally am not a fan of his speakers but they do have some merit and have been successful.

I hope this is of help.

You could possibly email them directly and ask for the specs of the drivers yourself.

The drivers look good though

Edit:
I noticed that their current line of production still uses the same midrange driver. Maybe you could do a clone project if possible.

Thanks for the replies.

I suppose that means trouble, designing a crossover?
I thought of making some kind of "average" crossover, if I wasn't
able to get some data's on the units. But if this coil is meant to be part of the x-over, that approach would, I think shoot way past the target?? I will try and email Rega about this.

Here is the result I achieved with these drivers I bumbed into a guy at work that made a simple crossover for the Rega drivers.
They sound quite well I just need to veneer them with Elmtree, as my diy Proac 2.95. (I used the Proac clones as speaker stands )
