I came across this kit at Madisound and Solen lists it as well. I later found it on ScanSpeak’s website so it appears to be designed by or for them (or maybe approved?). It is a small 5.5 liter bookshelf using a 15W/8534T00 5.5”/15cm midwoofer and a D2010/852100 0.75”/20mm dome tweeter. The kit price from Madisound is $749 including crossover. There are no reviews that I can find so I am hoping someone at DIY can critique or provide opinions on this design.

This design interests me for a small 10’x12’ room and I prefer not to use a subwoofer. According to the write-up this design is supposed to sound much larger than the small enclosure would suggest. My interest is mostly rock music no louder the 85dB without a sub. I would likely use a Buckeye Amp with 150 watts per channel @ 8 ohms.
In addition to the ScanSpeak design and driver sheets I have attached a frequency response graph generated from mh-audio.nl.

I think you may want to reduce the tweeter level just a smidge according to the graph unless you have them close to the front wall or listen with them facing straight forward without toe-in.
If you intend to listen on axis, and with them a couple feet from the wall, just pop a 25 ohm resistor across the tweeter if they are a little bright.
I saw these but did not hear them at AXPONA, and was surprised how REALLY TINY this kit is.
