Re: Kit for Nearfield monitor: piccolo, mandolin, Continuum?
looking at the Continum kit again. This has the Dayton RS28A-4, Metal dome tweeter. wolf, I am surprised you would call it smooth and easy on the ears compared to the SB29 tweeter based piccolo/mandolin. From what I have read around the forums, I thought the general consensus was that the RS28A is m...

Re: Kit for Nearfield monitor: piccolo, mandolin, Continuum?
first off thanks everyone. The Docero kit does look interesting, but the Eclipse woofer is a big unknown for me. I understand this is a Meniscus woofer so there is not a lot of information about it out there. Has anyone directly compared the Eclipse W6520R-4 woofer to the SB17 (or SB15)? The only te...

Re: Kit for Nearfield monitor: piccolo, mandolin, Continuum?
if anyone wants to comment on SB15 vs SB17 that would be helpful too.
Or if anyone has worked with both the SB29 and D2608/9130 HDS tweeters.
I have found comments and tests on the web (zaph, audioexcite, audioheuristics, diyaudio....) so I have a little idea.

Re: Kit for Nearfield monitor: piccolo, mandolin, Continuum?
I was originally thinking (after lots of studying of different drivers, tests, comments) to get some D2608/9130 HDS tweeters and the SB15NRX or SB15MF woofers and a miniDSP and try to do my own crossover. The SB29 tweeter was my second choice, so when I recently found Jeff's kits I started thinking ...

Re: Kit for Nearfield monitor: piccolo, mandolin, Continuum?
Thanks wolf. I don't know how many speakers I will build, but this is an interesting hobby. I have learned a lot in the last month reading lot of forums and websites. Also my small japanese apartment does not lend itself to having lots of speakers laying around :) I should also mention that my curre...

Kit for Nearfield monitor: piccolo, mandolin, Continuum?
I am considering building one of Jeff's kits for use as a nearfield monitor on my music workstation. I would be using the speaker in the 0.8m to 1.2meter distance. I am considering the piccolo, mandolin or continuum, with the vented piccolo looking most interesting to me. I am looking for a detailed...
