Re: Long live DIY/what is wrong with audio...
Apologies to Nestorovic...looks like I shoulda looked in the catalog before I typed away and mis-spelled his name. Thought I had it right. Yes, the S10's...the S2 was a 10" woofer 2-way, just like the large Advent. The XO had a lot of parts and crossed the tweeter at 1500Hz, it was 3rd or 4th order, I can't recall right now. It was either a Phillips or Peerless tweeter...I still have it and it works great. S'lab used many Peerless drivers in those designs from the 70's. Here's the tweeter:
I thought it was a Peerless, but someone here said it is a Phillips.

Yes the same Nestorovic. I built a pair of the S10's in the early 80's. As I recall, they had a little Phillips tweeter, 4-5" paper mid with a rear chamber, an 8" and 10" woofer. The Nestorovic crossover was designed to gradually turn the 10" into a passive radiator as the bass got lower. (20 + parts in the crossover) Tweeter wasn't that great, but man they could thump. Had them re-coned once, played them for 16 years. SpeakerLab was cool before DIY was cool!
