In Reply to: RE: where to buy more efficient 5" driver for book shelf speakers? posted by Kipp on June 24, 2015 at 11:47:23
Given the quality of TAD drivers, it is hard to think that you could do better, even with careful research.

I don't know. I don't know much about the speakers other than that I own them and that they are my favorites so far. A lot of things from China have little documentation or track record.
Linn Sondek LP-12, Lingo PSU, Ittok LVII arm, AT OC9ML cart, Audio Origami lead, scratch-built tube phono stage with separate power supply (design by inmate NAZ!), Cayin TA30 integrated tube amp (with Bizzy Bee mods), TAD (Bizzy Bee) 805SD speakers.

You do realize that these speakers aren't actually TAD/Pioneer ones, right?
Unless of course you're being sarcastic...in which case it's kinda funny.
No I did not. I looked them up and I see now that TAD stands for Tube Audio Design. My mistake. Comments were mixed, but I did not come away thinking that it would be a very impressive speaker, so hacking it up probably would not take much value away from a speaker that probably does not have much value to begin with.
However, the original poster likes the sound, so I still doubt that he could improve upon things by bolting a mismatched driver into a box. Since this is a crossoverless design, the interaction between the new driver and the "tweeter" could be bad or even damaging to the amp in a worst case scenario. I still think the Fostex kit would be the better option for someone who admittedly knows nothing about speakers.
I also like this DIY project using a Fostex FE103E and a Eminence Alpha 15A. (See link). It would also be easily adaptable to other full range drivers.
