Read the link RON_E posted above and you will have a use for all 4 units and get an XO of around 450 Hz . . .
Yeah. Thanks. Yep, read up on all the "Double Stack" and "Extended Wings" experiments, but didn't pay them much "weight" since no one actually measured any results! So you got a lot of "wow, incredible", but no objective data!
I may yet use them in that manner, but they are 2-3 projects back in the queue at the moment.
But Chahly - Stahkist don't want speakers that look good, Stahkist wants speakers that sound good!

I picked up the sb12cacs25-8, thinking of using them with Viawave RT850.
I've got the 4 ohm version in a two-way that's a parallel of the little SB Micro speakers that I believe Marvin had at DIY Iowa. I really wanted to hop over to DIY Iowa with them to get a comparison with the AL version, but way too many cords were pulling on me that day. A Viawave pairing should be fabulous.
Heck - I still haven't put those nice SEAS mid-woofers (and many others) to use, so it's not like I'll be running out of useful parts any time soon. Just sad to see Peerless go the way of Dynaudio and Usher.

Match those up with these tweeters - https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/diamond-dome-tweeters/seas-excel-t29d001-diamond-dome-tweeter-matched-pair/
I feel like you’re mad if you don’t pair it with the ellipticor tweeter.

Looks like they can cross as low as 700 Hz . . .
1 Pair just sold
Dang!!
Not sure I've ever heard the ESS. Anyone have measurements?
No measurements, but they sound pretty good in Adams dipole units.
Hey Ken, answer your PM😛
Pretty ...
I've got 2 pair in storage .
Measured this in dipole mode - monopole measurement was about the same.
How old are those units, rjj45?
I found this thread. I owned a pair of the original AMT 1 speakers when they came out and liked the AMT driver. I'm tempted to pick up a pair.

They are probably smiling and enjoying instead of trying convince everyone else with data . . .

I tried to get it but had to reset my password and they disappeared from my cart by the time I was done.
My bad

That should sound VERY good!

Damn...missed out again! Had I known, I would have jumped all over them.
Well you know me Tom... there is a 50/50 chance they will be on the swap meet table at Iowa next year
