Heath AS-10 Cabinets - Need Driver Recommendations

125A and 127A are the same driver, except for the inverted dome on 125A. 127H is the ferrite magnet version (the others are alnico,) which I prefer. Here's 127H (as I recall) in KLH 6 with the same waveguide BmWr75 used:

Next pic down shows a new, less expensive version of that waveguide, for use with 1" thread-on compression drivers such as the EconoWave Selenium, in Large Advent.

I posted the closed-box performance of 127H earlier in this thread:

Those woofers are used ported in several well-liked JBL bookshelves such as L26, L36, L40, L50, etc.. That's virtually a no-brainer, but I'll have to run the calcs using AS-10 volume.

127H-1 is somewhat of a different animal; we used it here because it has twice the power handling capacity of the non "-1" versions.

We are just beginning work with this new waveguide, but simply using the standard EconoWave crossover with an inexpensive Selenium driver gives a good starting performance. We'll likely be modifying the compensation filter in that crossover to improve this, but it will probably just mean replacement of a couple of inexpensive components:

Bottom line: The less expensive and less complicated version of BMWr75's AS-10 project is EconoWave using the 8" square waveguide.... :yes:
 
Refoamed the woofers on these speakers last week. Played them for the first time in probably 10 years today. :-)
 
The cabinets on these speakers have never been as inert as I'd like them to be. Used polyfill back in the 2000s when Zilch helped me with the project. Ordered two sheets of NoRez from G&R Research. Yanked the polyfill from one speaker today and did the NoRez installation. Will get the other speaker done one day this week. A tap test on the sidewalls and top sounds better on this one now than the one that still has polyfill in it.
