Check the listing for details. Solstice MLTL Reference Tower Speaker Kit. Condition: New. Listed at 749.98 USD. Solstice MLTL Reference Tower Speaker Kit Parts Express is proud to introduce the Solstice, a reference quality 2âway speaker kit designed exclusively for us by Jeff Bagby. The Solstice kit is a no compromise speaker using all Morel drivers in a MMT tower configuration. The TiCW 638Nd woofers, from Morel's Titanium series, feature some of the most advanced designs on the market with a 3" Hexatech⢠voice coil on a titanium former, Hybrid⢠neodymium/ferrite motor, and Uniflow⢠aluminum frame. A CAT 308 tweeter, an updated version of Morel's classic MDTâ30, handles the top octaves delivering an extremely dynamic and natural sound. The solid MDF enclosure panels are all CNC milled to tight tolerances ensuring easy assembly. The finished cabinet has extensive bracing, double thick front baffle, and a rear firing slot port creating a very solid enclosure tuned to extend low frequency response down to 30 Hz. Measuring at 38" tall the enclosure places the tweeter near optimum listening height, making this a small floor standing speaker with no need for speaker stands. Jeff Bagby on the drivers: "These drivers are exceptional sounding, as well as possessing excellent design and build quality. The tweeter is so smooth that it is very simple to cross over, and I really like the motor design and cone on these woofers. The vocal reproduction is truly high-endâ¦These are making me rethink what I should use as a reference system. This is honestly one of the best two-way designs I have ever done. I can find very little to fault. Not only is the response exceptionally flat, but it sounds very balanced, with fantastic resolution and detail. Vocals are beautiful, as are instruments. Bass is full, extended, and very impressive. Nothing stands out, it is just sound honest and accurate⦠It is really a high-end speaker worthy to be compared with systems that cost several thousand dollars." Binding posts, speaker wire and screws are now included in the Solstice Speaker Kit. This kit includes parts to build one speaker.Specifications:Tweeter: Morel CAT 308 1-1/8" soft dome tweeterWoofers: Two x Morel TiCW 638Nd Titanium Series Hybrid Cu 6" woofer 8 ohmPower handling: 200 watts RMS/350 watts maxFrequency response: 30 - 20,000 (-3 dB)Sensitivity: 87 dB 2.83V/1mDimensions: 38" H x 8.75" W x 11" D Note: Crossover components may be substituted with parts of equal or higher quality depending on available inventory.What Our Customers Love About The Solstice Don't trust usâ¦trust our customers. Here is what they have to say about the Solstice.Best speakers I've ever listened to "This project took a while especially since I don't have a wood shop of any kind. These speakers sound amazing. Veneered them with some quilted bubinga from Veneer Supplies. Took about 50 hours to complete. Make sure you are gluing the right side for the front facing MDF as it has an angled baffle and then have a panic attack and spend 3 extra hours removing it with a razor blade and hammer and re-sanding. Don't be like me! Also I'm aware that I need acoustical treatment and a bigger space for them to breathe⦠but the girlfriend is an architect/interior designer and won't allow it⦠it was enough to convince her to let me build these. Oh well in the next house. Cheers Y'all!" â Matthew S.Best Audiophile Speaker Kit on the Market "Jeff Bagby (RIP). Nuff said. Probably the best complete kit for audiophiles on the market. Incredibly well balanced across the frequency spectrum, nothing stands out. Just crystal clear resolution and adequate, tight bass. For people who know what true flat frequency response sounds like, they can appreciate the quality of these speakers. I was initially skeptical at these speakers, considering I've built several other commercial kits, but once I powered these up, my skepticism quickly vanished. These may seem "expensive", but honestly you cannot find any speakers of this quality for anywhere near this price, as long as you're willing and able to put in some effort in building them. Like many others, I used to have a "wish list" of speakers that I wanted to research and perhaps audition. Not any more. As can be seen from the pictures, I finished mine in figured maple and textured copper paint. I hope I did them justice. These will be a permanent fixture in my stereo system for a long, long time. I'm impressed every time I listen to them. Thanks Parts Express for bringing these to market. And once again, thank you Jeff. Rest in peace."Note: Crossover components may be substituted with parts of equal or higher quality depending on available inventory.
