Alloy plus 2" of MDF seems a little excessive for a B110, especially as
there is no point in an enclosure any bigger than 10l. I used 18mm. MDF with
veneer on the outside and bitumen on the inside.

That's pretty much what I have right now.


A pair of B110s went on ebay for £112 this afternoon (5727464855). Why not


sell yours to an enthusiast and use something more modern, better and cheaper?

Eiron - that's a great idea. Thanks for telling me - I had no idea. But what
instead?



Wilmslow Audio, http://www.wilmslow-audio.co.uk recommends
the Monacor SPH-135/AD as a direct replacement for the B110 at £35.

However, the SPH-135C with a carbon fibre cone, looks much sexier.

http://www.monacor.com has all the details.

Perhaps I should sell my KEF drivers. Unfortunately I have a
sentimental attachment to them....
