Scan Speak loudspeakers

Will · 24th September 2001, 10:55 AM

Does anyone has a proven x-over design matching the Scan Speak 18W8545 with either the D2905/9700 or the Revelator tweeter? I noticed that a majority of websites have kits matching the 8545 or the 8535 with 2905/9300 only (one of the cheaper tweeter).

If my memory serves correctly you can find a design with Scan-Speak 18W8545 and Revelator tweeter in Vance Dickason 'Loudspeaker design cookbook 5th ed.'...

I know that northcreek ( at http://www.northcreekmusic.com ) sells kits based on these drivers.

But: you just can't use just any crossover (even if they're based on the same drivers) for your speakers. That will not lead to a satisfying result. And it would be a waste of these magnificent drivers.

If you're not able to develop one yourself and live in the usa: http://www.madisound.com .they can do it for you.

Another source for crossovers for the Scan-Speak drivers is <a href="http://www.bamberglab.com/pr_home.htm">Bamberg Labs</a>. However, like Northcreek, you will not be able to purchase the schematics and build your own. They sell only completed, assembled crossovers that use premium grade parts so they are pretty expensive
