The speaker drivers were purchased from ebay or Speaker City in Los Angeles.I bought the Ribbons and the 3" titaniums from Speaker City back in the mid 80's. They were 45 bucks each for the ribbons and 149 dollars each for the 3" titaniums way back then!
The Revelators sell new for about 175 dollars each.
The crossovers are pretty clean and I have vinyl sound deadener inside the boxes as well as pads to adjust the tweeter and mid tweeter output for when I swap between solid state and tube amps.
I have a great deal of money in the internal wiring and the crossovers. They sound pretty tasty.
If you hear the Martin Logan Ascents, these sound just as open and airey, and just as dynamic however they have tighter bass, a more defined sound stage, and do not require you to sit with your head in a vice.
If you get a chance to hear Sonus Faber Cremona speakers these will have the same wonder midrange, less bass bloat, and much clearer from the midrange up.
If you get a chance to hear the Sonus Faber Guarnari Homage speakers these will sound a little warmer in the vocals and a little more crisp and airey up top.
These are all pretty nice speakers and the tubes DIY project sounds like the best of all three without any of the deficiencies I hear in these other speakers.
I sold all of the above and like mine more. Although my cabinets do need the tubes touch in the future. Perhaps in a year or two.
