Frank -- I recently got my hands on a pair of Snell Type EIIs with the Vifa M21WN coated paper/foam surround 8" woofer, Tonegen tweeter, and Vifa D19 rear tweeter. There is something absolutely magical about a paper 8"+1" 2-way with a large, mildly braced rectangular enclosure/baffle, don't hesitate to build what you have in mind.
IMO, it is one of the finest ways to really enjoy your music instead of worrying about what your system is made of. Salas, Snell, Audio Note, Devore Fidelity, Wilson Audio, Rogers and Harbeth (albeit with plastic instead of paper cones) and Troels Gravesen all seem to be in agreement about this configuration.

Yes, i agree with you. I finished my 2way project and i am very happy.
I build a nice audionote style speaker with the seas ca22rny and the morel cat378.

The principle is really simple, perceived SQ depends very much on bass response and 8" woofers have potentially plenty of it to satisfy an audiophile.
No,
i went the easy road...
There once was a very nice diy speaker in the german Klang&Ton published.
(you can find it above in the thread)
A guy in a german loudspeaker forum did a more efficient version with a different tweeter (cat378) and better coils for the crossover.
This is the speaker i build.

I like "CT" for cheap trick 🙂
You did for the CA22RNY 2.2mH 10uF 1R 0.68mH low pass and then for the Morel you did 4.7Ω, 4.7μF, 0.47mH, 8.2μF high pass. Right?

YES, Salas you are right!
DCR of the 2,2mh and 0,68mh are 0,2ohms.(vs. 0,9ohm in the cheap trick)
Now i am playing a little with the 4,7ohm resistor to get my sound.

Is that an Alpai r10p in your moniker picture?
We have been very impressed with the smaller Silver Flute W14. Particularily a pair mounted in a Woden ML-TL. The lastes build Tysen V2 with FF85wKeN midTweeter.

If the 300Bs are good ones, that should be a killer combo.
BTW given your location on the Sunshine Coast you should think about coming over for VI diyFEST.
