Hello. I found this project http://jan-jaap.vegter.nu/bs.html with Monacor drivers. Does anyone have experience with these drivers or has anyone made similar speakers? I read some good stuff about Monacor and it seem they are a good quality for money. The project would cost me around 300 euros so I would like to know would it be a good choice for a small room and some audiophile aspirations.

Hi,
The sensitivity is given as the same as the bass driver 89dB. This usually means the designer has not consider baffle step compensation and possibly other things as well. So I couldn't recommend the design. ![]() |

Does it mean I have a problem and how will I hear it? I'm a newbie in DIY so I'm not familiar with this "baffle step compensation".

OK, I learned something about BSC and I understand the concept. Can anyone tell me will it (BSC) be a problem in this situation and what should I do to eliminate it? Someone told me that the sensitivity for this speaker is more like 83-84 dB.

Hello,
I really recommend don't use the Monacor SPH-165KEP! First of all 1) The Thiele/Small Paramters given on the Monacor Website are completely **** (sorry), they've made a big mistake. Look at SPH-165CP and tell me if you know the TSP from somewhere... Also you can see that the TSP given for the KEP can not be true, due to the Impedance-peak at the plot (fs=40Hz)! 2) The KEP has a very bad bass output, I know this because I use it in my "diplomarbeit" (Maybe due to the false TSP)? 3) There is also a horrible dip at exactly 1kHz, which may be created by the phaseplug. 4) Distortion is not as good as mentioned. For that price, look for some Seas or Co. Greets |

Maybe this link will help: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/print...024&perpage=14. Some say go for it, some say choose something else. I'm gonna make this design and we'll see what will come up. I just wanted to know what to expect. I'm just worried that the designer put the Fc at 3,5 KHz and I don't know will it be good, is it correct and how can I change it.
