I've worked up pricing on a 4-piece package that can be configured according to your system needs. The bottom cabinet serves as the base for the upper section to form an 8" 3-way. The passive version will be $2,825 to $3,050 / pair including CUSA shipping with standard cabinet finishes (satin black or gloss black base and red cherry or gloss black upper section). True 35hz bass extension with a large excursion woofer, carbon fibre - Rohacell midbass, and ribbon tweeter.
The hybrid version ($3,325 to $3,550 /pair) adds a 125-watt DSP plate amp on each channel so all you need is a source with RCA line outputs - no additional amplification. This is also a 3-way with the lower crossover point (woofer to mid) active and the mid/tweeter crossover passive. The DSP adds equalization for true 28hz (-3dB) bass extension and by adding a test microphone you can also do room correction.
What do you think?

Seems interesting, since the Tono plays relatively low already why not cross it with a 10' woofer for a lower frequency response?

A 10" would be fine but in a passive design it needs a much larger volume to have reasonable sensitivity with a true (no room gain included) -3dB of 35hz. The woofer base is a 14" cube.

Do you have any pictures? thanks.

hello Rick, could this hybrid be adapted/modified for an SSR, a Verita?

I should have some in about two weeks.

No problem doing that. :thumb:

Very nice ! Great price too.

Rick, this looks very promising! On the non hybrid model, Any thoughts on having it as a front slotted version to reduce the overall height making it ideal for use as smaller mains or surrounds? I would really like to see the small size as a sealed version but front slotted. Just thinking out loud here....

The smaller sealed box would be fine as a surround or main with a subwoofer.

Listening now. This basically smokes anything near the same price. :thumb:

Here's the nearfield bass response curve. Note the great extension with no equalization or room gain. 8)

How is this hybrid/active system coming along?

Nothing new to report as other projects came along so this was put on the backburner.
