Item: Dayton Audio DATS v2 or v3 Price Range: Negotiable Item Condition: Used Extra Info: Been diving deeper into DIY speakers so looking for a working DATS v2 or v3 for T/S and impedance.

I have a pair of these and they’re still a fave after many years. The bass extension and df neutral tuning are great. If only they could be custom shelled!

sorry Bill! Read the ad wrong. Yep it’s the 22D you’d be after. Great for correcting the room and keeping the flavour of your DAC.

Item: Hypex plate amp FA123 or FA253 Price Range: negotiable Item Condition: New or Used Extra Info: Looking to build an active 3-way speaker and on the lookout for a plate amp. Open to other active plate amps or Hypex 2 way if the price is right.

Here’s a digital in/out one on the classifieds. I’ve got the same unit and it works well in my setup https://www.stereo.net.au/forums/topic/336600-fs-dirac-mini-dsp-ddrc-22a/

These units are great. I run it with some standmounts in my living room. Cleared up the room issues and especially helped the bass.

great price!

I'd love to see the T/S specs + measurements for the Radial drivers. I've never opened the SHL5s though. A bit hesitant to in case I blemish them in some way. I wonder if stiffened/reinforced poly cones have much cone break up or if they're still quite smooth?

Item: Pair of SB Acoustics Satori 9.5" drivers WO24P-8 (8 ohm version) Price Range: ~$325 Item Condition: New or Used Extra Info: For a 3-way DIY build. Might be open to other ~10" woofer drivers with 86-88db sensitivity.

Thanks! They're Harbeth SHL5 -- still have and love them, but also wondering if I could build something that equals or betters them. I'm sure there's lots out there that might, but that's about the limit of my budget bar DIY for now!

I've been a lurking member for too long -- I think I first joined 8 years back! -- so thought I'd say hi. I thought I found my end game speakers a few years back, but just started delving into DIY speakers last year (which felt like an achievement unlocked) first with some known builds, and then my own designs. Will hopefully get around to posting about it soon (it's fun to nerd out about).
