Interesting, always liked the Bandor drivers. Any details? I've a background project using a Scanspeak 26w/4534 and a 10f/8414 I have using the MiniDSP but not yet started.
That's the Scan 10" I'm using, in 55 litres sealed. Embarrassingly, due to house renovation, they're still in unfinished boxes, about three years after I built them, no stuffing or anything.
Currently crammed into corners, with our tv on top, as my listening room's been dismantled. There's too much boundary reinforcement, but needs must. (I really need to get this renovation to get finished, so I can get a room for the system again. My head's full of speaker projects, but I won't have time/space to do anything until the house is fixed.)
With the little Bandors, I know I'm out on a limb not using them below 600 Hz, but I just don't like them so much when crossed low - a squashed, transistor radio sound to my ears. Even crossing them at 300 Hz there's still a hint of that, I find. Of course, crossing them high puts a lot more attention on the woofers, but I'm pretty happy with how they sound. I'm also planning to add a ribbon tweeter back in when I have the time to work on a crossover, but I can live with what I have if it doesn't improve things.
I have lots of other drivers waiting for a try out, including pairs of Bandors, Scanspeak 25W carbon/paper woofers, and some bigger stuff. But the sound I get from the 26W/Bandor combo just works, for me. (Especially with a rather dodgy looking FW F5 clone I picked up recently - I'm amazed how well it copes with the tough load.)
I've had plenty of good, well regarded speakers in the past, (Harbeths, Revels, Thiels, etc., several electrostatics) but I don't really miss any of them (apart from Dali Skylines, maybe). If my DIY efforts never produce anything better sounding than what I'm using, I'll still be OK.
