Hello.
I have a pair of HiVi D8.8 speakers and I'm thinking about how to use them meaningfully.
I came across the Tarkus project and its variant with HiVi on Paul Carmody's website.
The Techtalk Parts Express link provided is unfortunately not working (and the registration on the TT forum, where I primarily wanted to ask questions, does not work, sad story). Does anyone have any further information on this version of the project? I am mainly interested in the crossover diagram and the plan with the dimensions of the modified speakers. The photos show a change in the shape of the enclosure in the bass section, the use of a HiVi D6.8 as a mid-bass and a ringradiator tweeter.
I have three options in my head so far
- the use of Modula MT (HiVi D6.8-SB Acoustics SB26STAC-C000-4) or the HiVi Swans 2.2-A kit and its extension by a third band (the above-mentioned Tarkus clone could also have followed a similar path).
- 3 way using coaxial SICA 5.5 C 1.5 P / TangBand W4-2315 or possibly SEAS (inspired by Adterion, Driva, Minerva, Monoculus, SBS.1 …) and stick to manufacturer recommended volume.
- buy older Dynaudio loudspeakers (Audience, Focus) and make a third band for them - an active woofer.
Nothing is decided. That's why I'm asking for your tips for a proven DIY with HiVi D8.8.
I'm from Europe. That's why, if you have shopping tips, please only from the EU. I have no reason to pay duty and taxes for imports from third countries.
