New Affordable Accuracy Monitor from Philharmonic Audio?

The latest AAM used the DC160, a 6.5" driver. There are a bunch of DIY kits that use that driver, such as the C-Note or Paul Carmody's Classix.

C-notes are 5 inch drivers

You're right! I mistakenly thought the C-Notes used the DC160, but they use the smaller DS135. Sorry for the bad info.

The BR1 kits were out of stock, they're back, 109 in stock.
Is the crossover for the mod public and where if so?

@Dennis Murphy This is an old thread but are the plans (schematic) online anywhere or would you sell just the plans?
The BR1 s are back in stock.

I think there were a few versions, but this might help (schematic in post #1).

Dayton BR-1 original or modified by Dennis Murphy

Hello everyone. I'm thinking of building a pair of Dayton BR-1 speakers. I would be interested in your opinion on whether to do it with your original crossover or with the crossover modification proposed by Dennis Murphy. The drawer would have the measurements of Paul Carmody's Classic II. The...

It is stated in that thread that there were 3 versions:
Original AA for BR1 retained the Dayton Tweeter
AA+ replaced the Dayton tweeter with a Morel, but the Morel got more expensive
AA+ back to Dayton tweeter (perhaps a later version) with a more complex tweeter network.
Dennis says he likes the last version best.

I think that the schematic in that thread is either for the AA with old Dayton tweeter or for the Morel.
Edit: Here's Dennis' page on the Wayback machine and I think that this is the original version that
retains the early production Dayton tweeter. He provides versions for the shielded and unshielded
woofer. Note that, on my system this doesn't render correctly in Chrome, works in Edge:

I'm looking for the most recent.

They also mention Paul Carmody's Classic II which I think uses the same woofer with a low cost Peerless tweeter:
4th order network on the tweeter, but I like this tweeter better:

Thanks for the tip. I have the same problem and thought the problem was with the Wayback site. I wonder what is going on with Chrome? The Wayback site used to work with it.

I found something that I read many years ago. Dave Ralph here experimented with adding damping in
the pole vent of many different tweeters and in the process he found that the Dayton "Silkie" was a
rough copy of a Morel tweeter. But the dome is probably a not so good copy because the Morel
MD32 dome fits into the Dayton tweeter and performs better. I believe that Morel tweeters that
use this dome start at $76 and up into the several hundred dollar range. For people who already
have the kit with the Dayton tweeter, or who want to buy the current version, I wonder if replacing
the dome with a real Morel would be compatible with Dennis' Morel version of the crossover.
He calls it the "Hybrid":
