You could clone it.
With DSP the XO is a piece of cake.
This is the Bullfrog "Active Kit" by the way.
The amp is modded (stripped), which is clearly visible and for the comp. driver a small German 2x10 Watt Class A amp is built into the case of the Monacor power amp. The Class A draws power from the same power supply.

In Europe the RCF CX15N351 sells for 40-50% of the price in the US.
not cheap though! 🙂
around 400GBP?!
This got me thinking though! nice driver
Slightly cheaper alternative 15" coaxial with 3" compression driver.
This would be my preference.

Dispersion 40° x 60°
Fs 38 Hz
Re 5.1 ohm
Qts 0.28
Qes 0.3
Qms 5.8
EBP 127
EBP criteria Vented box
VAS 246 L

Another interesting coax from an Eastern European manufacturer.
In a stage monitor test, including monitors with the B&C and RCF drivers, this coax was praised for its hifi sound quality.
2.8" diaphragm in the comp. driver and the woofer facilitates fullrange applications in a big cab > last image shows the driver in 190L, Fb @ 28Hz.
Doesn't go very loud though.

Personally, I like d&b audiotechnik a lot, but it's not exactly cheap stuff.
Their M4 uses the B&C 15HCX76, albeit with d&b's own 70x50 horn.

Cool project Mark!
I bet that sub will shake the walls big time.
The directivity of the 15CXN88 isn't bad at all, given the lack of a horn.

Plain laughable.
18" (not RCF) + HF99 + ND950 1.4.
Check the XO's from this guy.
"Minimalistic" 😎
Solid gold capacitor explains the ridiculous cost

The guy uses special woods for his cabinets, at least that's what he pretends.
Still, his designs are not only ridiculously expensive, but not very cleverly designed either.
An 18" with a small horn on top, that's intended to be used with 10 or 12" woofers.
Not saying it can't work, but it's definitely not the kind of engineering you'd expect for 60k.
At least the horn appears to be mass loaded/damped in it's own enclosure.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
The Living Voice Vox series aren't exactly cheap either, but those are completely hand built, including nearly all components.
Besides, those are integrated designs; every part is either designed or optimized for the end product.
This Tobian 18H consists of a bunch of COTS components (worth €1500) in an impressive looking enclosure.

What I can't understand is all the effort in that enclosure shape an then the horn is mounted to the backside of the baffle in a way that does definitely cause diffraction. This is one more hint showing that with high-end expensive looks are sometimes more important than technically correct construction.

Once again the CX15N351 without horn.
Do you know if horn could be easily removed?
Why do you call this high end? Could the price tag simply represent a lack of reasoning ability with the designer?This is one more hint showing that with high-end expensive looks are sometimes more important than technically correct construction.
Why do you ask questions like that ? When a speaker is made with nice veneers and photographed in a room with a diffusor on the wall it must definitley be high-end ! 😉

speaking of coax!
any ideas regarding DCX464 vs 4594nd for HIFI?
(high-end with diffusers in the photographs 😛 😛 😛 )

Thank you daemon, all I want is a tweeter that I can use down to 200Hz. Is it too much to ask?
There's much ado now, with patents and stuff. So it's time to keep common sense locked in. I don't want a coax that pretends to be better than an equivalent multiple entry horn that I could build myself.

- Is it possible to cover the whole spectrum, high SPL, low distortion with a 2-way?
