Jarek, I know exactly how you feel. There is some magic in 10 Read loaded passively to ScanSpeak SD1 motor with paper cone. The ScanSpeak with this semi-rubber suspension are not the neutral drivers but they have very pleasant, at least ty my ears, very nice, enriched with second harmonics distortions. This distortion with a puffy resonance at 50-70hr somehow sucks out the colored nature of the Tannoy red woofer and it all together works very nice, particularly for non-complex music. I worked sensationally as a prototype project and that had huge impact over me. As a prototype project you close your eyes to multiple shortcomings, and you feel that when this prototype going to be rendered as and final solution the shortcomings might be overcome. It did not happen in my case, at least in context of the efforts that I spent. I never succeeded complemented with more significant base and I never was able to make it to play loud. Elso, I failed to calculate the very precise size of enclosure necessary to make all the system work properly. Generally speaking, if you have a very very small listening room and very up-close position, and if you still do not play very loud then it might be wonderful near field monitor. Use the existing 50-70hr resonances and do not go deeper. If you're willing to expand simple red-ScanSpeak combination, then you are in your own. I absolutely failed on it and you are in unchartered territory. If you do find something that work, then please let me know. Saying all of it, I had a spectacular trophy from my parlay into the Tanoy saga. I use Red 10 tweeter with completely disconnected woofer as a reader for my main system, driven by Milq.  I cannot express how stunning it is and that is absolutely the best that I ever seen in context of my playback.
