[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 3079445, member: 560358"] Looks good for commercial speakers. They share similar beliefs - the tweeter is crucial to a loudspeaker, so they scored some great tweeters for the design. [borat] [I]... nice... how much ? [/I] $1400/pair. The custom woofers probably cost them under $25 each which is fine, they are using the killer tweeter. DIY equivalent: If you wanted to clone this, the driver costs you'd pay would be $440/pair for tweeters. You'd probably need to spend $35 for good midwoofers, that puts you in the $580 DIY price range just for drivers. Use my rule of thumb, multiply that number by 5 - 20 times. If SVS were a high end exotic brand, then they would be pricing these speakers using a dealer model, priced anyone from $2900 - $11,600 pair. Buy direct model, cut that number in half, so $1450 - $5800. It's a good deal. Step 2: Go listen to them before you buy.
