Hey people,
i want to give my speakers (2.5-way fully active floorstanders with 3x midwoofer/ 1x tweeter per box + 12" sub) a pretty massive upgrade.
I need 6, for a start 4 will do it (2 mw per box go from 90 - 500hz, 1 goes from 90 up to 1900hz) midwoofers. The speakers on my list for a closer look are the SICA 5.5H 1.5CP, the ScanSpeak 15W-8434G00 and the Dayton Audio RS150-8. As each chassis got it's own amp, and the amps shall be replaced, too (i'm in contact with the guy who designed the TDA7293 composite amp with JFE2140 input for i need 8 pcb's (plus parts from my local reseller).
Also would i like to change to active rectifiers and i'm drawing cabinets 😉.
I'm someone, who does diy not just for fun, but also to get as much music as i can for as less € as it is possible. Without used parts, i couldn't upgrade from the 30€ Gradients to a speaker one level in price higher.
So, if someone has at least 2 pair of 6"/150mm chassis wich could be an upgrade (I want more cone movement, for the gradients just go about 2mm up and down. I want to move more air), I'm happy for every offer.
the pic shows one of my speakers with the chassis which should be exchanged for something better.
best regards
Jochen

Considering costs alone and your desire to keep things affordable, these would be a cost effective purchase.

Whether an upgrade or not though I can't say. And would they fit your quite slim cabinets.?!
I modelled these in winisd and they seemed to need quite a large volume to get decent bass.
