Thanks for your comments! When I will have installed my system, I will be able to easily experiment any crossover frequencies. I just need to make the right purchase... So I'm totally convinced about the C90 as midrange, and the S280 is also a top bass driver...
For the tweeter I'm in doubt... between the C25 or Scan Speak Beryllium (Illuminator)
Ribbons and AMTs are excluded! They have too many dispersion issues given my habits to listen to music while moving in the room.

I'm not familiar with TL products, so can't comment here. As for Be tweeters - I would advise take a look at the BlieSMa T25B-6.
Wow! It seems great! I didn't know it. Distortion much better than the C25 (which has some issue around 8/10khz), and better 2nd harmonic than the Illuminator Be...
Outstanding dispersion! Fast decreasing step response, and even cheaper...
Thanks! 🙂

Thanks.
That driver... is not competitive. Unless it is really good in low enclosure volumes? But the frequency response is so-so and the distortion is bad (for the price).

It's not clear to me how this driver can be rated 5 out of 5 stars when it has a huge distortion peak at 820 Hz... energy storage in the breakup region, e.g. around 4kHz, etc. This thing is currently available at the price $341 each. At that price it should be performing a bit better, no?
Posssibly because the driver has exceptionally low third harmonic distortion below 400c/s where it would most likely be crossed over to a suitable midrange driver. It is a very high price for such little benefit but that is ScanSpeak for you.They just price themselves out of the market for DIY'ers.

This driver is a woofer, so I don't rate its behavior at 820 Hz. Overall, as a woofer it is a very good driver[emoji846]
The Satori WO24P -4 (or the WO24P-8) shows a much better value for money than the ScanSpeak 22W/4851T00 while producing a somewhat similar performance as a woofer.
