Introduction

Drivers used:

• ScanSpeak 9900 Revelator 1" tweeter
  
• Seas W17EX002 6,5" woofer
  
• ScanSpeak 8565-1 10" woofer
  

ScanSpeak and Seas has the last year released new drivers that intends to be in the absolute top-flight of the market. They are priced significantly higher than regular drivers, and all have interesting construction details and parameters.

I set out to test three of these drivers by measuring them and design a three-way with them. The drivers chosen were the ScanSpeak 9900 Revelator 1" tweeter, Seas W17EX002 6,5" midrange/woofer and the ScanSpeak 8565-1 10" woofer.

During the initial process, I made extensive use of the magnificent Clio system. Later on, I used the equally magnificent Calsod 3.10 software, which The Speaker Building Page has received for test by Audiosoft.

Unfortunately, I don't have the whole design process covered with measurements, but all facts on the drivers are available in the measurement-section on this web-page. Here, you will also find downloadable frequency and impedance data which you can use in your Calsod or Leap-program, and you will also find the data provided by the manufacturer.
