Just to share with you with my ideas about the Scepter 500 clones. I´m not sure if I will use the w3801 bass drivers. I felt in love with Altec 416 and quite frankly I very much doubt that Onkyo would sound better or equally good. It surely doesn´t sound as fast and responsive as the 416 but it might me the enclosure issue.
I don´t like the drivers positioning of the original Scepter 500. Proper time allignement is probably impossible. From my experience, the positioning of the bass drivers in such manner is in the VOTT gives the best effects. I was able to align my bass and midrange coils to probably exact milimeter and it makes a huge difference, is almost sound like a coaxial driver, pretty much the same coherency as my Tannoy Monitor Golds.
I´m thinking about building speakers similar to Vox Olympian, I mean the physical part. All drivers above each other for proper time alignment. I think it will work just fine..
