Help me identifying these drivers

[DIY_Peter]

Take a look at

http://www.link-audio.be/K50.htm

I heard this speaker today in a local recordstore. I remember having read something about it, but I had never heard them.

I have to say I was really impressed. The bass from these speakers was very good for such a small speaker.

Does anyone recognize the drivers?

The mid-bass looks a bit like the peerless CSX 176, appart from the surface that's less smooth on the driver in the speaker. Maybe they painted it with some compound?

They look like a Vifa M18WO woofers or custom version of the same. I've used them with great success in speakers just that size. The tweeter I'm not sure about.

 

[DIY_Peter]

Could be. They sure look very similar.

 

[zverina]

99% vifa M18WO-09-

 

[DIY_Peter]

I agree, they look like the ones I've seen this afternoon.

Not to expensive either

Now the tweeter...

Seas tweeter ???

Could the tweeter come from SEAS ???

Have a look at:
www.seas.no
and
http://www.mamut.com/homepages/Norway/1/18/dynabel/prodlist.htm

The last link is for a norwegian supplier. Scroll down on the menu to the left and you will see their SEAS link. There you will find some pictures (small, but they might be helpfull)

or maybe Vifa PLW 18 225/8 ?

You can see a picture on this page

Strange URL isn't it

Anyway, it also looks like it, but I can't find the driver on the vifa site

Can't find one that looks exactly the same though...

the midwoofer could also be the peerles csx 145

[zverina]

peerless has four screws vifa has six.

 

[DIY_Peter]

Yep! correct. It's probably the Vifa

 

[Finderup]

I most definitely think it is a Peerless unit. Could be a custom CSX provided with 6 holes and another coating, or otherwise a custom HDS with new coating as well, and without the chamfered edge!!

Probably not a vifa...their cones seem to be with lesser 'slope'!

The tweeter looks to me like a Audax of some kind. As far as I remember they have some dome-tweeters with the same exposed dome.....

 

[markp]

It is a Vifa. The casting is a Vifa to a tee. Around the screw holes you will notice U shaped flat spots that are a Vifa design. It compares cone wise to a M18WO-09 as was said earlier.

 

[DIY_Peter]

Also convinced it's a vifa

The tweeter could be a seas. It looks like the 27TBC
