while browsing the DIY web pages thread I fell upon the excellent donhighend site which is in German. Using an online translator I was impressed by the Kaventsmann which is pretty much what I have in mind for my future (and maybe final (?)🙂) loudspeaker.
Problem is that I could not find anywhere else a reference or someone who has built it, apart from the author.
So any comments/insight on this or other similar designs will be very welcome.

well I just realized that impedance falls to 4 Ohm in the bass region.
This will not work well with an OTL amp I am using among others so I will probably keep looking for a more suitable design/kit in this respect

this is a nice option of course, however if I have the choice I would like to avoid the extra amplifier and active xover.
It is a good alternative though and I'll keep in mind, thank you!

You don't have to do an electronic crossover. Passive, like on schematic. Use IcePower 125asx2 (around 120 euros).

so, to split the existing xover in two and drive both sections with full bandwidth? I think it's better to cross at line level and have each amp driving the corresponding frequencies only
It is more effective, of course - but i thought you didn't want to do active crossover, hence my suggestion.
