I can't see anything hi-end about these speakers.
Going by the socket head screws and how it looks, the cabinet seems to be aluminum extrusion.The front is aluminum thats hiend

The whole cabinet is aluminum just like 8361 .Going by the socket head screws and how it looks, the cabinet seems to be aluminum extrusion.
Why compare to the 8361? For the same money as these boxes you can also get a pair of 8040B. Also full aluminum, and also include amps and an active crossover.The whole cabinet is aluminum just like 8361 .

It's a solution to a problem that should not exist. If your box is too small for your driver, get another driver, not a second oneI find the use of the almost forgotten compound principle (isobaric) interesting.
And support, repair and resale value.And sensible engineering.
Well, things are not that simple.It's a solution to a problem that should not exist. If your box is too small for your driver, get another driver, not a second oneThe extra extension is most certainly lost because you started out with a box that is too small in the first place.
It is, if you don’t make other stupid design choicesWell, things are not that simple.
Yeah, the design is just broken. There will be a lot of lobing from the tweeter/woofer interaction. Wavelength at crossover is only 5 cm, and the center to center distance is way more than that. A normal 2-way would yield far more options with regards to the woofer.If you don't develop your own drivers or have them produced, it will be difficult to find a driver that meets the requirements for the discussed speaker (SuperMon mini).
A driver that has a low resonant frequency in a small volume needs a high membrane mass, maybe you can find a 4'' subwoofer driver that fulfills this.
With this concept, however, one needs a wide-band driver with subwoofer characteristics because of the high crossover frequency.
The overall concept of the speaker is certainly very "special" and I have already listed a few possible problems.Yeah, the design is just broken. ... But obviously then it would not be something “special”.

But our hobby would be boring if everyone would stick to established concepts, then there would be nothing left to complain about![]()
