A long shot (especially since I'm not sure how many members are even near enough to pick it up), but my integrated amp shit the bed and I thought I'd take the chance to overhaul the entire setup, including my modified SEAS Idunn with the wonderful DXT tweeter.
The crossover follows SEAS specs, except for slightly more padding resistance for a very slightly less hot top end. The cabinet was professionally-built by a leading DIY driver and speaker kit supplier in South-East Asia (an official distributor for SEAS). My father later got nice polycarbonate covers professionally cut and glued for the speakers (worth about $80). I'll throw those in.
The crossover features Mundorf coils and caps. The baffle is shorter and wider, but CtC is crucially the same as stock. Sims I did on VituixCAD show that compared to the stock baffle, this induces a 2kHz dip that compensates for the 2kHz peak in the stock design. Certainly nothing objectionable on sweeps, a wide sweet spot (good off-axis) and no fatigue at all, yet still a substantially neutral speaker. The cabinet is 24l instead of 20l, and stuffed with lambswool. Cost me about $1400 in all.
I'm looking either for a reasonable cash offer or (even better) trade for well-engineered active speakers (eg. Genelec/Neumann or surprise me). Pick up strongly preferred. I might be able to get these measured if there's serious interest.
I'm located in Singapore.
