Best Midrange for DIY speakers

I used a focal kevlar unit for mine 5K013 ( or something along those lines, not made anymore). I am still impressed by them. I spent the most money on the midrage cause that is important to me and arguably where the most acoustic "information" is. Although I haven't used it, I suspect the SEAS Excel series with the magnesium cones are good choices too. I have heard them in the Jamo Concert 11 (I think). Only thing with those may be crossover, I think they have a little resonance at higher frequencies. Good Luck

I agree on the Focal. I have two pair with Focal drivers. Check out www.zalytron.com for some good ideas for DIY speakers.

i understand morels are scan-speak clones. another mfr to consider is thiel & partner (no relation to thiel in kentucky), also known as accuton.

Sedond, Morels are clones of many Dynaudio drivers. Not ScanSpeak. From the HUGE voice coil diameters on down. There are sometimes differences in the baskets, etc. They have some type of agreement with Dynaudio to produce the designs. A great buy. Dynaudio design, at much more attractive prices. Didn't know that Thiel & Partner was another name for Accuton. The old name for Accuton was Ceratec, but they got into a lawsuit over it...
