Sealed Monitor Speakers

Looks like Rick Craig has already designed the crossover for a sealed monitor using the ScanSpeak drivers I mentioned in my last post. Use the homepage Selah Audio link to their Audio Circles forum. Look at the "California Monitor" thread from June. A picture and pricing are there. Looks like $2000 or so gets custom built cabinets. I'd not use the Parts Express prefabs.

Having suffered B&W nautilus tweeters for 10 years I understand your aversion to metal dome tweeters, also ported designs. The Aerial 5b titanium tweeter is way better than this, not harsh but still very revealing, for my money the Aerial's are the best acoustic suspension design in this price range. Their top to bottom coherance and neutrality sold me. Caveat here is that you need a quality high current amp.

Sequerra Monitor Speakers are SEALED.

Spendor 3/5's are a great sealed speaker,I own them.
