There are always a pair listed on ebay for quite cheap.

These just came up on diy also.
I have heard the Ushers are a very good copy of the 8545's for much cheaper.

Thanks.
I already have a pair of Scanspeak tweeters so I would prefer matching them with SS mid bass drives if I can get them, it's possible that the Usher offer may be for mids and tweeters bundled.. In addition since the project allows me time, I prefer to wait and watch.

Thanks, but the design calls for 18W 8545, I dont know what is the difference and if this is is a drop fit.
Should be able to pull up specs on both online and compare
I found this comparison on an older threadKevlar cone versus carbon fibre impregnated cone may be difficult for me to tame. I will wait and see if an 18W 8545 comes up
This has been discussed at length at DIY sites many many times.
They are overall much alike in performance, but with differences in tone and flavor. But still very minute.
The 8545 has a deeper/darker bass/midrange presentation than the 8546 but hardly found in meter measurements.
The 8546 has a lighter midrange presentation than the 8545.
The 8545 has more body to vocals. The 8546 has greater decay to the midrange instruments.
Both are difficult to use in a two way system. The 8546 is actually easier to xover than the 8545 as a two way, but still not for the "less is more" xover approach.
Both are superior to the 8542 in overall performance, but it doesn't sound drastically different. Same basic $ so go with either 8545 or 8546.
