Applications

ambitious stereo applications in small to medium-sized rooms
passive near-field monitor
In the home cinema as a main, center or rear speaker.

It made sense to test the, allready in Mark K's ER18DXT installed and proven combination of Seas ER18RNX (H1456-08) and Seas DXT 27TBCD/GB (H1499), also in the DXT-MON series.
And the test was successful ... In terms of cabinet size, it is significantly smaller than the DXT-MON-182, correspondingly a little less deep bass. In terms of horizontal directivity, the DXT-MON-RNX sets the bar even a little higher. An extremely fascinating speaker!

Can you please provide an estimate of the crossover component cost? This is a critical variable before committing to purchase of the design.

  Hello Tom
  With Jantzen standard parts (3 Aircoils, 1 Iron-Core Coil, 6 Crosscap MKPs, 6 Mox 10w resistors) about 65€ in Germany.
  Sorry for the delayed answer!
  
  Best regards
