I can't imagine buying a receiver to drive shakers other than a used one. Are there any stores near you that sell used equipment? If not, I'd look at a couple of smaller sub plate amps. I happened to have an old Realistic receiver that is still going strong. http://www.timn8er.com/bass_shakers.htm

I'd been using the Extremis in a two-way design prior to this. I demo'd it at a local audio club meeting along with my little bookshelf. They were both well received and I was told that if I could get the highs of the bookshelf out of the two-way it would be wonderful. At the same time I had...

I try to recycle them somehow but it can take a while. Here's my latest recycle. http://www.timn8er.com/alegria_audio_ruby.htm

Doggone it Dan, I was having fun until you posted that picture. :angry:

The Extremis 6.8 has an exceptionally stable impedance across a large portion of it's frequency range. So much so that two Extremis wired in parallel have a nominal impedance far above 4 ohms. Much of it is around 7 ohms. I'll leave it to you whether or not that is suitable for your amp. For...

Exactly.

Wouldn't it be something if somebody built a tower using 4 Extremis, WR125 mids and a ribbon tweeter?

Yes. I suspect you'll see several designs appearing over the next couple of months.

I second the Extremis based builds. The Extremis is a world class driver and at $99 it's a serious bargain. I can't think of a 6.5" driver that can touch it and that includes the $200+ DST drivers. I built a two-way with a Morel tweeter that hit -3db at 36 Hz! What's just as amazing is that...

Would the Keiga 2.1 amp help you out? http://www.madisound.com/kgamps.html

If you like the PE boxes and would prefer that over building from scratch I suggest looking for designs that will fit in that box size. Minor volume changes (say 10%) will not have a major impact and can sometimes even be compensated by changing the port. Check the Madisound website for Morel...

I don't understand why that's surprising. Treated paper cones are stiff and light. It's a nearly ideal material. There are plenty of tweeters that can reach 50K.

I think you'd be surprised but you don't have to take my word for it. http://audiocircle.com/circles/viewtopic.php?t=15559
