There are some good places or new drivers but i would try and find high quality vintage american drivers of either 8 or 16 ohm impedance to make a speaker with you will be amazed at what type of sound you can come up with especially if you can find pre 1965 drivers.

Well, I do agree that Parts Express does not carry many of the better brands, none the less. For $1200 or less with a promo, I find this one of the best kit values out there.... Period. Of course, it stays sold out. They only sell about a dozen at a time, then you have to wait for parts to come in again. And regardless of the brands they don't sell, you can't knock Morel, which they do stock. Solstice MLTL Reference Tower Speaker Kit (parts-express.com) |
Raw drivers from Solen. That's 'stolen.ca'. Just put together a sub using a Scanspeak (Danish - Scandinavian Speaker) Revelator 4557. Their prices are in Canadian $, so subtract a quarter. That's about $400 for a tremendous speaker: fast, articulate. I judge a speaker, in part, by how well it differentiates similar frequencies. The 4557 easily discriminated 35Hz from 32, about a tone, which is what I want working with (and not against!) a system of planars. |
