Fostex FW168HR, 6.5" Wideband Woofer
- ø145mm large ferrite magnet and 8mm top plate are employed. Besides, the copper cap is adapted onto the pole piece to reduce the magnetostriction.
- HR shape cone diaphragm is employed to realize the weight saving and stiffness property.
- The state-of-the-art hybrid material is offered to the diaphragm. Its ideal internal loss and stiffness bring the propagation velocity similar to the near-metal diaphragm
- UDR tangential surround & spider are equipped to realize the less anti-resonance and superior amplitude characteristic.
- The foamed rubber is chosen for the surround material. It has the lower density, lighter weight and higher internal loss characteristic than the conventional rubber and the foamed rubber surround has the low young's modulus and less eigentone.
SB Acoustics SB29RDCN-C000-4 Neo Magnet, Ring Dome
This tweeter features a proprietary fabric ring dome with a large roll surround. Stabilizing the center of the dome greatly reduces distortion and brings the acoustic center of the tweeter back to the voice coil, with the added benefit of increased sensitivity. The tweeter has a chambered back designed to provide a lower resonance frequency and reduce back wave reflections from the dome. A copper cap is used on the pole piece.

Seas Prestige A26RE4 (H1411)
The A26RE4 is the modern version of the once popular 25F-EW woofer used in the Dynaco A25 system. Seas has stopped using the old 25cm frame and now uses the 26cm frame. This new woofer will not fit in the Dynaco A25 speaker anymore.
This classic paper cone has a wonderful roll off at 2000Hz. This is one of the only 10" drivers we know of that could be used in a 2-way by letting the woofer run full range without a crossover. I have heard this woofer with the Seas H1189 Tweeters and it had a magical retro sound to it.

Restoring Vintage Loudspeakers by Josh Biernbaum
"We at Madisound are often asked about what is the best way to upgrade older or vintage loudspeakers. In fact there are many ways to improve on sound, whether perceived as too dull, too bright or boomy, or not enough dynamics, for some examples. Loudspeakers vary greatly in build quality, from the drive units, cabinets, and wiring to the internal electrical parts. Rather than spending thousands of dollars to achieve results, we will suggest some simpler and less expensive solutions involving some straightforward modifications that almost anyone can make. The purpose of this guide is not to address loudspeaker design, or crossover theory, but to offer inexpensive tweaks that can improve the presentation of your speakers..."

N-Compass Router Jig
The N-Compass router jig is a precision compass tool designed for cutting accurate circles and arcs. It has the ability to cut a range of diameters from very small radii to very large radii, simply and hassle free.
The router attaches to the compass jig using its base plate guide rod holes. The cutting radius is set using the router base plate's guide rod locking pins which can then be finely tuned using a Vernier micro-adjuster.
How many different ways are there to cut a circle? Too many, and most of them are time-consuming, require quite a few steps, and the sacrifice of a substantial amount of material. Even the most obvious non-router technique (rough-cutting a circle with a jig saw and then using a jig with a belt or disk sander to true-up the edges) is surpassed by using circle template with a pattern-following or flush-trimming bit, so why not just cut the primary circle with the router and get that crisp, finished edge in one step without all the hassle? The answer before the advent of the N-Compass would have likely been "because by the time I waste the time and a piece of wood to make the trammel arm I could do it more efficiently another way," but not now. It's not uncommon to have the N-Compass installed on the router and set to length in well under a minute, and without dulling your bits and blades!

New Scan-Speak Illuminator Tweeters: Soft Dome
Scan-Speak Illuminator D3004/6620-01 Tweeters in silver
Scan-Speak Illuminator D3004/6620-00 Tweeters in black
The Illuminator Tweeters continue on with the heritage of the renowned Revelator D29. The large-roll surround and textile dome diaphragm provide a flat frequency response to above 30KHz with outstanding off-axis dispersion. The face plates are die cast in aluminum for a beautiful look with maximum mechanical stability. Tymphany's unique AirCirc Magnet System - named for the way it optimizes air flow within the chamber - rearranges the traditional magnet structure from a single magnet to an open magnetic circuit comprised of six separate neodymium slugs. This, in combination with the chamber, results in the elimination of the reflections and resonances that compromise the performance of traditional motors. The D3004 gives engineers improved control over critical midrange performance, for superb vocal rendition and excellent imaging at all listening locations.

Drive as 4 ohm stereo, 2 ohm mono or 8 ohm mono
Only 3.5" Wide by 10-1/8" Long
The patented LAT 250 is designed to provide strong bass performance in a new vibration-free, cylindrical form factor. The driver may be configured for use in sealed, vented, bandpass or open-baffle enclosures, and provides high bass output from a very compact transducer. In typical applications, mechanical vibration is more than 90% lower than comparable loudspeakers, even at full output. The LAT 250 employs dual voice coils, and impedance configurations from 2 Ohm to 16 Ohm are available per customer requirements.

SEAS Exotic, X1-08 or X1-04, F8, 8" Full Range Driver
- 8 ohm and 4 ohm version available.
- This full range 8 inch driver has a paper cone with papyrus fibers to optimize stiffness and damping, and high frequency whizzer cone perfectly matched to the cone.
- Special foam rubber surround that reduces mass of surround by 40% compared to regular rubber surrounds, which results in higher sensitivity for the driver, and excellent damping properties.
- New GVD technology is combined with an extremely open weave spider. The threads in the weave are woven together in a way that makes the spider silent. In other words, the noise from the threads rubbing together is completely gone. The open weave is practically fully acoustically transparent and resonance problems caused by traditional spiders are reduced to a minimum.
- High temperature voice coil wound on a stiff and rigid glass fiber former. AlNiCo Magnet system in addition to a copper cap on the pole piece and an underhung voice coil reduce non linear distortion to a minimum.

SEAS Prestige 27TBFC/GTV (H1213-06) Metal Dome Tweeters
- 27TBFC/GTV is a High Definition metal dome Tweeters with a wide, soft polymer surround and a shielded magnet system with a rear chamber.
- Aluminum/magnesium alloy diaphragm with pistonic behavior throughout the audible frequency range, resulting in a good dispersion also above 10kHz.
- A Hexagrid protects the diaphragm, and supports a phase plate which compensates for a slight axial roll off towards 20 kHz.
- Sonomax surround for low resonance and excellent mechanical linearity. The shielded magnet system allows use in close proximity to CRT screens.
- Using the screening can as a rear chamber with optimal acoustic damping allows the Tweeters to be used with moderately low crossover frequencies.
- Voice coil windings immersed in magnetic fluid increase short term power handling capacity and reduce the compression at high power levels.
- The chassis is precision molded from glass fiber reinforced plastic, and its front design offers optimum radiation conditions.
