Caps, coils, resistors, ..., etc for x-o - I think it's self explanatory. That one is normal coffin. The first one is for 5deg slopped baffle. I would go with the 5deg slopped - better phase integration and it looks way better. One more thing: the project uses older 17NRX drivers, the new ones require different crossover.

Hi everyone,
Im just about to finish a set of SB ARYA speakers ( amongst others ) to replace a set of 28 year old Dynaudio 3 ways. Im a bit worried about the concern for the 3 khz crossover point on these. One thing is the midwoofers used in the Arya speakers are polycones and not Paper or Aluminium so hopefully a smoother breakup response.

I for one, am glad that you responded here. Several years ago I had the same doubts as this fellow, when I was building one of the original kits from SB Acoustics. There were several armchair builders that had so much to say about the crossover design from SB Acoustics, and most of it was negative. I went ahead and built the kit pretty much as SB had laid it out, and I was more than pleased- the results were stunning! That was when SB was starting out, and let's face it, things are only going to be better now as the company has really developed.
Hi vassilis1984,
I've highlighted which part of the frequency response is affected by the room which part does the crossover effect. The crossover cannot effect the response that the room did.
The crossover is very good by interpreting how close the 3 measurements are to each other from midrange and up (~500hz - 20khz) and when they start to part from one another, how smooth they deviate.
This chart is perhaps too honest and have indeed scared less experienced people shopping for a kit.
I also own the Ara and Rinjani and both are fantastic.
I am replying late to your post, but I am guessing that you went through with the build and all was good. I wouldn't worry about the crossover point being at 3khz because of the design. There is also a split between the woofers and so a lot of the load is taken off of each of them, thus the woofer that is crossed at 3khz is not going to be as stressed as some might think.
