It has been a long time since my last Blog update, since I\u2019ve been busy and haven\u2019t had much time over to update the website, but you can rest assure that I haven\u2019t given up! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Finally I have published the Concentric Three \u2013 M5<\/strong><\/span> design. It has actually been finished for some time now and I enjoy and like it very much.<\/p>\n

If comparing with the commercial KEF loudspeakers, the Concentric Three \u2013 M5<\/strong><\/span> speaker most closely resembles the 2600$ KEF R500 design in size and driver unit layout.<\/p>\n

The KEF SP1632 co-axial driver is truly an amazing driver and delivers top notch performance to a budget price.<\/p>\n

I have a couple of times listened on the KEF R500 and they instantly caught my interest, but I haven\u2019t actually listened to my design side by side with the KEF R500 so I can\u2019t comment on the exact sonic differences between them.<\/p>\n

One thing I can say is that as a DIY designer I don\u2019t have to compromise with the cross-over design in order to cut costs as most commercial loudspeaker manufacturer have to do, at least in this loudspeaker price range.<\/p>\n

It would however be interesting if anyone out there has the cross-over schematics for the KEF SP1632 driver used in the KEF loudspeaker \u201cR series\u201d in order to compare the design choices made.<\/p>\n

If you do please let me know!<\/p>\n
