Main goal is just to try something without a crossover, mostly out of curiosity, while still hopefully being somewhat high end and enjoyable. Probably to use as a desktop speaker or in a secondary bookshelf system. I’ve also been curious about the Textreme ever since they came out. Would the suggested drivers be meaningfully better than the MW13TX for this?
Take a look at the Canon S-50 that was measured here. They sound way better than you expect and potentially can use them as enclosures for future modifications…
