If you can afford it I think it will provide a better solution than either of the Dayton drivers. However if you cant afford it or would prefer not to spend that much money the Dayton clearly can sound good at least to the people reviewing it.
Thank you, Andrew.!
I have a limited budget but won't sacrifice quality for a a few $$$. Even more, when I am planning on setting the speakers up with a decent electronic, a Vincent Hybrid pre-amp plus a Parasound power amp. I want to be successful with this project.

Dual concentric drivers solve the off axis power response discontinuity by putting the HF in the middle of the LF hence the HF directivity is similar to the woofer as the woofer behaves as a horn on the tweeter. It also provides horn loading on the tweeter making the tweeter efficiency very high.

+ there is the unshielded version:
Dayton Audio RS225-8 8" Reference Woofer
still low Qms. : P

What about this one ?? What do you think ??

Cheap materials, spider.
Much too high Le.
Not exactly a sq speaker but for the price it is good.
Agree.!
This is the value/price of the Dayton's I have seen:
Dayton Audio DS215-8 8" Designer Series Woofer Speaker
I can not live with a 6-1/2 woofer.

LOL .
But there will be even 2 of them!
And a lot less compromises.
Maybe save up and go 3-way to eliminate the "8 inch ("no real") midrange" and the "tweeter distortion" problem.
Another option:
SOVEREIGN 12-250TC
2 SDX7 would fit into 35 litre sealed and leave enuff volume for a midTweeter chamber — not many tweeters go low enuff to meet them thou. An Alpair 5.2 would qualify for your metal requirement and luckily it is not a dome (i’m not a big fan of most domes).
SDX7 are scarce and we can only hope the new CSS brings them back.
This enclosure is not much more than 35 litre net — the midTweeter used has much more volume than you’d need for A5.2. Not a bookshelf, but easy enuff to morph the shape.

As Globalplayer noted, it's the non shielded version...just get rid of the "s"
I would like to know if I proceed with the Dayton DS-215-8 plus the Peerless DA25BG08 metal dome tweeter, I can still keep the 35L cabinet volume and the crossover Gfiandy has suggested ?? Or if this change needs a new crossover calculation ??
I am going to take the risk with the Dayton woofer since it is half price of the Scanspeak. Thanks for the great help to all of you, specially to Gfiandy who has done the simulation and calculations. I am more than grateful.

They are very good. One of the best we have built. One of our goals is always a good image/soundstage.

Love them.! Congratulations.!
