    Can't see why not, they seem to meet all the requirements. If the output turns out to be a bit high, an L pad can be used to bring them in line.

    I've actually got a pair of the bigger HiVi isodynamic ribbon tweeters and they are very good.

    I reckon they'll do the job nicely!

    OK for the top end on a three way system too I'd think.

    Well speaker 1 is finished for now. Will need some deading to the rear panel as it dies vibrate. Should increase bass a tad as well. Some bracing too. But was keen to hear it so its coming out of a monoblock (valve amp is goosed anyways) as intended for test purposes...



    How does it sound?

    ... lovely mids and top end not too shabby either. Bass not too much but will improve with above additions. Very efficient as well. Amp on thst side is at 4. The kef at 7.5....and its 91db.

    Cant wait to finish the other now

    Looks very good Grant.

    You won't get deep bass, but bigger cabinets would help. So might your supertweeters.

    I have added a set of tweeters to try and it has helped a fair bit..back panel needs a bit of dampening. is vibrates a bit. some of that black stuff should solve it.. these tweeters that are coming will be better again i think....after saying that the bass is improving as i type. quite big cabs these..22*15*9 inch..dunno what that is in litres

    Amazing transformation on those things, they look straight out of the showroom.

    You might get a beter balance with them closer to the wall, re-inforce the bass a bit?
