Thanks, Rakesh. It might be a good driver, I always like Scan Speaks.
A few things. The Scan Speak nowadays is not Scan Speak anymore, just a name and they made by someone else. Also, I would like different type of drivers. I would like 18-24 ...

I came across to a new to me very interesting driver: Scan- Speak Illuminator.

it looks like it is new for them as well and it might be very interesting. It is around 84dB, to get any more or less reasonable sen...

[quote user="Ronnie"] I don't know any industry wolves unfortunately(?), but more new -01 drivers have appeared at half the price. I think I'll go ahead and make the speakers full range in time for my upcoming 30-years-on-earth-celebration. :-) [/quo...

[quote user="el`Ol"]The lowest I know is the Fertin with 23 Hz.

Fertin does 23Hz with 18inch. The Scan-speak did with 10 inches

The box is about 5 cu/ft apperiodic with 3 x Scan Speak vent on the rear panel. Damped with cotton blanket (filling 60% of inside) and braced rather well. The driver is JBL 2220 crossed at 80Hz with 12db slope. All other channels ar...

Well, I figures that while I am not sure what to do with LF section and where to locate it I will live with my woofer tower from my old listening room. They did not work well as Lower-Upper-bass channel installed next to Macondo but in odd place, han...

Hi, Ronnie.
I do not know what happen with emails, you probably should not use the world Viagra in there… :-)
Anyhow, the 25w/8565-01 drivers are optimized for ported enclosures. I porously never had them and never used them, so I could not be help...

[quote user="oxric"] "The Macondo’s Bass Channel is line arrays. The arrays employ religiously-sealed enclosures with six “spotted” Scan Speak 25W/8565-00 drivers per channel... " Clearly you had written this at a time when you did not really underst...

I had a similar setup with an IB subwoofer, 2x18" woofers, behind the listening area -- also time aligned. It's works ok. But it will excite the entire house structure if you play loud -- you can be sure. Everyone will feel it. But that's not the iss...

I bought a silent PC and am greatly enjoying a few classical channels:http://theclassicalstation.org/today.shtmlhttp://mronline.radio.hu/BARTOK.HTMhttp://www.whrb.org/pg/JanFeb2006.htmlSeems like a great way to get "started"!...on newly fine tuned ho...

Hi Kitty,This combo is quite interesting and amazingly coincidental....I had scan speak 18W's sitting around from my old speakers and just recently had them put in sealed boxes. I was using a Seas silk dome on top (in free a...

Hello again,I've found four Scan-Speak 25w/8565-01 and possibly two -00 for sale at a good price.I'm triamping as of today and hope it's a good idea to start with the four and perhaps add more when I can afford it.- Do you think the 01 version would ...

The horns that Stereo Lab make are very good, especially considering the relatively modest prices. I bought the "Ultra-Fi" version of the 140Hz horns and they are of course not completely free of resonance - JLH's and Romy's massive horns are cer...

I laid my hands on WinISD speaker modeling tool, which seems to be quite popular and widely used. It can model passive radiators too.
Here are the simulations of my idea of the Dannoy bass: Scan Speak active + Scan Speak passive in the same bo...

Ronny, it is funny because I was juts about to carve my further observations about the Sound of my monitors. Last night I was listening Rigoletto by Callas and Gobbi on my monitor. I come to an interesting observation that I would like Monitors...

Playing with B-2 power amp I made an experiment and instead of loading to it the MiniMe Bass section I loaded the B-2 with Macondo’s bass arrays. I made add-hog attenuator and coil to EQ MiniMe MF with Macondo’s bass and gave some listening. It w...

Hi Cat,The more and more I listen to reproduced music, the more I realize dynamics and tonal respect are key to start any reasonable installation. This kind of crosses over into some driver discussions so bear with me...My Tannoy 10" ...

I too want a monitor speaker to play with, especially for amplifier experimentation.I put another 4" Fostex in a sealed "box" (globe actually) and crossed it over at 150hz to one SS 25w/8565 on the side. Wishful thinking? -Yes.About 88-90dB sensitive...

Three problems with the Scan-Speak are the low X-max, the built-in response curve, and limited power handling. It will be interesting to see how you juggle these issues if you do use these guys for LF. Obviously, if you bias against the natural ris...

We enter a complicated region as the lower driver we go the drivers could be used for different purposes and it is very hard to generalize. A 10-incher might be MF driver and LF driver. In my past I experimented with few MF 10-inchers, including some...

Well, it took almost two month and much more money then I thought but I was eventually able to get very decent sound out of monitors. The SL600 sitting on my “fundamental channel’s” tripods did not do well as I told before and I was forced to s...

Yesterday I have a great listening time. I sent Amy with twins
to her parents. I put Thomas to sleep in his room and as he woke up I set him
to watch his Caillou for hours and I went to my listening room to have nice quality
time with my playback....
