After selling my beloved Martin Logan Sequel II I'm playing with the idea to build a set of loudspeakers with the Veyron 4D design as a starting point:
Not sure about the drivers.
First idea for the drivers:
1x SBA Satori TW29BNWG
1x SBA Satori MW19P
2x 11" Woofer ?
What would be a good choice of drivers? I would like to try a berylium tweeter but also read some good stuff about those Textreme woofer/tweeters.

There isn't one in Australia either. I imported them myself.
And yes, I paid the shipping and duties involved.
If I were in your part of the world, I'd look at the many brands of pro drivers available there.
Maybe Faital is good contender. I like the looks and performance of the Faital Pro 6RS140. Troels used it in his 3WC-12.
Test bench
Faital 3WC
I wonder how the 6RS140 would perform against the SBA t-extreme or MW19P.

The 12PR320 looks like a powerful woofer. They also released the 12RS550 which looks better and more like a hifi woofer but with less sensitivity.. The RS550 only needs half the space that the PR320 requires.
Started on the cabinet design. Maybe 12" is a bit too much.
I looked at Audio Technology and they have some beautiful drivers
The 18 H 52 06 13 SDKA-LR in combination with the 10 C 77 25 10 KAP

I don't know, aesthetically it doesn't seem right? I had to increase the width to fit the 12" drivers. It just seems a bit overkill. I will make a model with 10" to compare.
Strange but I cannot find any dimensions on the AT drivers. Reverse engineering from Troels drawing it looks like the 10 C 77 25 10 KAP is exactly as big as the Eton 11" driver.
Actually the volume will be bigger than 100 liters. I only calculated the bottom part of the speaker. The mid section will stop at the half of the cabinet depth .Behind the mid section there will also be space.
Just looked up some pricing. Ouch. Are there measurements available to justify the price?
Yes, they are indeed expensive. Troels uses them in his ATS4-HE and is quite fond of them. HifiCompass did some measurements on the 18H52 17 16 which is an indication of the quality.
2400 euros for the woofers alone. That's just crazy. Don't do it.
Troels' Revelator 851 is a nice starting point. D3004/660000 (own these!), 15M/8631G00 and two 22W-8851T00 per side. The money you save on the woofers will buy you two Hypex FA253 modules(own these too!). You'll never look back.

One thing is for sure; I will get the FA253 modules. I received the prices for the AT drivers. That hurt.
If you have over 100 L volume why not use 2 scans 26w8867 a lot of ppl have reported excellent performance in 50 L per woofer enclosure. And Kharma has used it in their Exquisite line(probably custom versions) but you know it’s a good woofer if they use it. Also Wilson audio used it. I ll be using same basic kharma look for my next design but it will be all scan speak with double 8s. Good luck
