Single driver design that excels in the human voice range

Scottmoose, that might be an option, I will put it on my list of things to try out.

Hi Scottmoose - I first tried Dynaquad type connection in 1970 with an Eico ST70 (great under-appreciated amplifier w. excellent iron) with two series tweeters only in the rear or one "fullrange" speaker. Later with 4 matched speakers (Dynaco A35) it could sound spectacular on albums such as Sinatra's "Only For The Lonely" as the ambience retrieval seemed to unlock the bass and sound field. One day, I accidentally turned off my Citation I preamp while the Citation 12 was still running. All four SEAS woofers moved about an inch and a half forwards past center. Dynaco graciously replaced all four woofers but UPS destroyed all four cabinets upon return (there was no compensation to me-lol)

I am going to build a pair of 12"x12"x24" towers

The Magic Formula says these little 3" need 2 Cu Ft. each.

I will build them and hear what they sound like.

Could be fantastic.

I can still have my maple cityscapes.

Happy ears!

I'm curious to see how you make out with your project. I would like to try some Faital drivers but shipping and customs fees to Canada from PartsExpress is a deterrent.

@pelanj
Maybe take a look at the Hegeman/Morrison for inspiration?

Planet10 are there any plans for the ebox you mentioned? I have a couple of the Faital pro drivers kicking around.

There is. It is an addenda to either the Fostex FF85wk or the Alpair 5.2/3 set. Only the venting (and driver mounting) details change. I have the µFai-KenPlus done, the others could quickly follow if they are preferred (trapezoid & rectangular miniOnken with vents down the side). Both set sof plans come with woofTs based on the Peerless 830970 acting as a stand (like these, the 3F22/25 would slot right in where the FF85wKeN is.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
