This is what DIY Audio is all about. Scott S, talks briefly about how he transformed an already good HiVi speaker kit into a really great system.
If you can still find these kits, they are well worth the investment, and with a few crossover modifications, they are excellent speakers - rivaling some audiophile offerings.

I did it. I used his perfectionist crossover build. These are the best speakers I’ve ever heard! End game speakers for me

Scott, Thank you for your help. I built these using the perfectionist approach and they are spot on to my ears. I'm really tempted to build a set with 10" passive radiators on the sides but I need to work on my measuring skills. I rotored out the box for the Mid to fit flush. I used a grinder to make on the mid driver to make it fit flush. They outshine speakers in the $1000 range.

So I decided to do this. Where can I get the specs for the upgrade

@TheChuckster402 4 года назад

Scott, the mid range / tweeter sounds tinny sometimes with recorded spoken voices, they sound like they're on a telephone. Singing voices sound perfectly fine though. Is this a limitation of the drivers, is it the BBC curve, is it the phases / time alignment, is it the recording, or is it the acoustics of my room? Have you noticed this with your modded 3.1?

@TheChuckster402 3 года назад

Update: I noticed that this effect went away in a different room with a better amp.

@purplerider2362 7 месяцев назад

I have these connected to a 1200 watt amp they sound spectacular

@lapalomatv1474 2 года назад

The speakers sound bad with the original crossover. Does Scott's modification really bring the loudspeaker to a high end level?

@zacharyybarra7676 2 года назад

I made these a few months ago. I agree with the original crossover -- they are extremely fatiguing. After I did the crossover mod mentioned above (roughly $30 in parts) I do not find them overly bright anymore, just detailed and with great clarity. I have noticed however that on certain hip-hop tracks with really low bass -- the bass driver will chuff out of the space between the cone and phase plug. Only at high volumes and only on extremely low bass frequecies. I plan on buying a minidsp HD 2x4 to cut off such low frequecies to the 3.1a's and send them only to the Subwoofer. I imagine after that I wont find any complaint with these speakers. They image great, far away from the wall they sound spacious and open.

@danbalkey2580 3 года назад

what is the up grade on these cross over up grade I know nothing. what are the parts

@int_pro 4 года назад

Would it be possible to make them self contained with built in amp and Bluetooth? Would be awesome!

@KL-tn1xc 3 года назад

that's certainly possible, you can even leave the crossover out and use a dsp crossover insead if you use a icepower or hypex plate amp, it'd be more expensive though.
