information.

Correct the original Electa Amator (Extrema?) used an Audio Technology Flex Unit woofer- most likely custom specs, he will make any drive to your spec. The second series used Scanspeak drivers. The original would be far more expensive to make, but the xover is probably going to be easier, whereas the series two would be cheaper although xover much harder - take your pick!

I agree
the electa amator crossover is very simple

1. wf --> one series inductor for woofer
2. Tw --> one cap in series with RC and R parallel to Tw
all in phase

bass reflex
Fb=40 Hz measured
and Fcross about 2,2 Khz

external dimensions H=370 W=220 Depth=350 mm
white afroacrylic 40 mm left,right and back

The x-over was epoxy-sealed, unfortunately.
Anyway a true clone I think it cost much more of a good pair SF used,
in this particular case!! :(
