I have these woofers -- ScanSpeak 22W/8857T
I have these tweeters that I like -- Vifa XT25BG60-04 and HiVi RT1C-A
This mid, but I'm not sure I like it -- Dayton RS52AN-8 (TC9FD18 has 3.57 times the Vd of this driver)
Thinking of getting 2 Tectonic TEBM46C20N-4B or 1 Vifa NE123W-08; which one is better option?
Or stick with RS52?
I might just given up and go with TC9FD18 FAST/WOW. I'm not really into dome tweeter like highs.
I think a rough clone of the Philharmonic Audio BMR Towers would be okay.
I've never seen a speaker or can't recall, with one of the most expensive tweeter and woofers and then cheapest mids, so I figure the BMR's must be okay. And the build quality is acceptable to me on the BMR's, from what I see in the pics. I also require a really good horizontal dispersion pattern. But I need the drivers to "sum" at a close distance also. Around 2 meters.

Here's some with the TC9FD:

You're 2/3 of they way there for these ...

Haven't heard these but in the community I heard good things about his designs. Good guy I wish was still with us.

I will probably just copy the cyclops since it has all the drivers I have/want, except I have a 22W/8557T00 instead of HiVi woofer.
Great write up also. Probably the least mistake prone cross-over schematic I've seen.
This seems like such a great driver:

These look great too, but for more money:

Doesn't seem like the RS52 does anything better than the TC9fd18 other than off axis response is better and step response is also better, I think? Is that the same as pulse or transient response? I like "fast" drivers. I look at CSD a lot, not sure if it makes a lot of sense though.
