Designs using HiVi B3A-B??

[marlowe]

After moving three times and living in South America for a year, I'm back in a house and have my table saw and other tools set up. Now I'd like to start using some of my driver stock-pile. The first project I'd like to tackle is a small full range for computer desk using a pair of HiVi B3A-B that I have. I know there are a few designs that use a similar driver (Like Wolf's Dragon Foals). However after searching the forum, I didn't find any designs. Would this driver work with the Dragon Foals? I guess I could run them full range, but I assume they would sound better with some kind of notch filter.

I don't have any measurement gear - so I follow other's proven designs.

TIA

it may be more similar to the B3S / B3N, but i can't say for sure

My "Icthus"...

I saw Icthus - they look like a fun project. I'd rather not buy any more drivers until I use the ones I already have. I was hoping some other forum members had used the B3A in a simple full range design. Am I correct in assuming it would make a decent full-range?
Thanks.

It should, yes. It probably won't do bass awesomely, but it will do almost everything else. Try searching the forum with 'black aluminum Hi-Vi' or something else like 'RS90'... You may get some hits.

Thanks for the search suggestions Wolf. I did and learned a bit about the driver and its history.
My question now is: Is it possible for me to work up a simple full-range design with a notch filter and BSC if needed, without measuring equipment. If so, what is the best resource for me to read up on it and suggested tools to use.
TIA
