Speaker kit experiments - an archive of the Jäger Speaker development

Is there any information as to what drivers are used in these?

 

[Paul Birkeland]

Two 8" paper/fiber woofers and a horn loaded planar tweeter of approximately 6".

I read that part, but was more interested in the manufacturer and model.  The tweeter appears to be the Dayton Audio PHT1, but I was unable to identify the woofer.

Thanks!

In the interest of protecting our intellectual property we are somewhat disinclined to share anything more than general information on the components used. The tweeter is a lightly modified Dayton, the woofers are Silver Flute. However there is much more to the design that influences the final sound besides driver choice - cabinet design and materials, damping, isolation, impedance compensation, crossover design, construction method, etc. One could buy the same drivers and make a really bad sounding speaker just as easily as (or more easily than) a really good sounding one.

Just ordered my set.  Can't wait!  Already trying to decide what album to play first.

Thanks, Nick, and everyone else who has ordered! Just a reminder that we will take pre-orders through Sunday the 17th for this first production run.
