SB Acoustics Satori Monitor

Do remember that the Satori has been optimised for midrange performance above anything else and in JGs implementation is in a relatively small box. A suitable 8" in a suitably large ported enclosure will be able to give you a significant amount of bass. If you don't have space for the 10 an 8 will do fine in adding additional depth, just choose wisely.
 
PKI, i did not try that woofer.
My idea is to make something like the original Watt-Puppy.
2 x 8" in a stand.
Mixing cone materials ?
I did that many times before.
A bass with a metall membrane can work.
In the Sonics Spirit i even mixed a 26cm Scan-Speak metall bass with a 17cm Accuton ceramic plus a big Fountek ribon tweeter.
That speaker sounds excellent.
 
We have now put the Kalasan into another system for comparison.
In my sysem they sounded great. From my point of view my work is done but lets see what comes out in the new situation.

I have just ordered 4 Vifa Ne265W-08 that I will pair with the Satori woofer. From the what i have seen, they measure very well for the intended purpose and should provide good support for the mid. From what I have heard of the monitor, it is well worth the effort and relieved of its low end can only improve.
 
It does seem as if they could have been designed by the same person. I wish they were a little more efficient, but paralleled and with a little active EQ, they should do nicely. We may try the SS in a Watt puppy style setup with the current monitors. I wish I could have dual SS, but at that price range, you have to consider other options like the C-10-77 sandwich cone from AT.
 
They are worth it. Excellent driver that will reward you according to the qaulity of how it is used and what you put in front of it. Jantzen Silver is an excellent cap option for the woofer. Went with superior Z on the tweeter to smooth its nature.
