Ive never tried one of Troels speakers, but I like his projects, Im sure they are competant diy designs.

also the Orions must be ok too?

Troels is sure a pro when it comes to speakers.
Trouble with his designs is low efficiency, so most of the real nice amps here, are running out of steam driving them.

95dB good enough?
Actually he made several high efficiency designs.

Troels had to admit what a proper pair of woofers means for the sound when making the ones in the link, which he says is his best ever..
Luke;
My ProAc's are the 2.95 version of Troel's. Check out his Clone papers.
I am sure the Orions sounds great, BUT they are active😱
BTW still looking for a Highend project.

that's serious stuff ;
completely to my taste - bass cab TQWT ( so - sorta TL ) , with enough muscles (read - size of cone(s) ) ;
main driver big enough - 8" , because there is no serious voice coming from spk if you don't have enough Sd
nice and potent tweet with WG ;
as yanks use to say ...... there is no substitution to cubic inches 😉
sensitivity isn't everything , but combined with Volume ....... almost certain recipe for real and serious fun
Hey ZM, those speakers even have 2 x 10" each. Check out the rearview😉 I bet they can shout in a loudly fashion.

yup - I saw these 2 10" on back ;
Troel sez
construction with two 10" bass drivers added, providing a total membrane area exceeding a 15" driver.
anyway -- what I'm trying all the time to say ( pretty clumsy ) he wrote pretty clearly :
In many ways life gets easier when we make big speakers. We may have more and bigger drivers and distortion may all of a sudden be reduced significantly because none of the drivers have to move much to produce high sound levels and we don't have to rely on drivers being capable of large cone excursions either.
We may all have experienced a 6" driver being driven to high SPLs and doing its best to pump air in order to produce deep bass notes - and at the same time trying to produce a smooth upper midrange/lower treble, the 640-2560 Hz range. It's not ideal but a compromise most of us have experienced. As long as we don't push a "six + one inch" too hard, things go well.
didn't checked exactly rest of the page , ( later this evening I will ) , but - if I say that Volume is difference between spks , when one speaker is reproducing ( for instance ) grand piano as small one ...... and another speaker is reproducing the same as proper size grand piano ........ I always know where my heart is .
it is not necessary in connection with SPL or even pinpoint imaging ;
you know pretty well that we don't have these things in vivo , in fact not in amount often needed for FiFi mumbojumbo establishment .

I suppose you can think 🙂 Best done in the morning with spicy sausage and cheese kolaches though.

95dB is just fine, but 150L boxes, is not ok.
I do like music a lot, but I sure prefer to keep the WAF reasonably high....after all it's more fun to keep stuff like that within reason, and keep the wide hipped one happy.
Come to think of it, even I don't want that big speakers in the living room.

You don't want your amps to be bigger than your speakers, do you?😀 I know your amps are as large as a Rolls Royce jet engine.

Woody - you don't have much benefit of cascode modulation , when going symmetrical .
you can freely toss these modulation parts out .
besides that - what's use of these bunch of 0R220 , near gnd ?
they're too small for any practical benefit , if I see them correctly - as sort of Tail in LTP .
edit - just forget question regarding these resistors ..... they're obviously here for same modulation I saw ........
tired eyes ........ or is brain ......... ?

he's listening to xformer buzz mostly .............. smaller the speaker , the better

Naah, it's ok to have speakers about twice the size of the amps 😀
On a more serious note, some 80L speakers is about as big as I can consider acceptable in a living room.
Bigger than that, and it's time for a dedicated audio room.
The Abby clones I have now, are tall and slim, and not another square box, which also helps.
They offer most of the qualities I consider important, given the right amp.

That's another site for a good read. He's using Jantzen caps. I have the cheapest Jantzen as coupling cap in my amp and they sound wonderful. I should try the other models up the ladder.
I can't speak for Steenoe, but I have had the pleasure of a few of Troels speakers .....
