Thank you Jim, I'm reading your thread, very interesting 👍
I will take on or two months for look around and study a bit. Some years ago, I've done measurement of my speakers with ARTA and modified a little the crossover given with the kit. About the cabinet, I know it's important and maybe it's the only thing I can do as it should be 🙂
The room... yes, some years ago the system was in another room and I had the possibility to use a plug-in within Logitec Media System software that acts like DSP, first I have measured the room with RTA ant then I've done a digital filter with rePhase... it was working well but today this plug-in doesn't work anymore so I've not DSP to equalize the sound. Anyway, with DSP from Hypex251 it should be possible to adjust, a little, room resonance at low frequencies… While I am looking for 10” I am also reading many of the projects of Troels, many of them are bass reflex, that’s why I would like to replace the bass section of one of his projects with closed box and then add the mid-tw section taking one of his kits, SB or ScanSpeak.
Oh… but it’s not for tomorrow! 😊
Thank you again!

Thank you Draki, I have seen it.
Maybe I will go with 26W/4558T00 it's pricey... but I found this test, on Audioexpress, where VD says that "It certainly would be possible to match it to a ribbon driver in a two-way at that frequency (below 1khz) but a more likely configuration would be combining the 26W with a 5.25" midrange and a 1" dome".
Then... I'm studying a bit differences between woofer or mid, 6" or 5", in this configuration. A 6" mid down to 250hz should work...

Hmm , Not too bad.
looks like fun.
Have to load it into the library and do some test run sims.
Cool basket, huge magnets.
I can highly recommend 26W/8534G00. I use two each side in ~60l CB, each pair in parallel on one channel of a Hypex FA123. The drivers got an additional magnet to lower Qes and get more saturation:
They are applied as woofers in a 3 way with Linkwitz transform to -6dB @ 25 Hz and xover@250Hz LR4. They play terrific up to nearly x_mech with very low offset jumping and deliver very clear, transparent and powerfull bass and fundamentals. Have nothing to complain, limitations are clearly dominated by my room.
P.S.: Have an SB WO24P here in another speaker, but I like the Scan Speak better...
