Kit with high-end-crossover without cabinet, price per speaker EUR 80,40 excl. VAT: € 67.56 / $ 72.97

price-performance kit

The following kit contains only one wave trap curcuit in the crossover. In addition it contais an inexpensive spring loaded terminal.

  • Visaton SL87 FE, 8 Ohm
  • Bass reflex tube HP35, 35x125 mm, black
  • 0,25x Damping Sonofil 100 x 35 cm for 20 litres
  • Spring loaded terminal T56 D
  • Speaker cable 2x0.75 mm2, transparent
  • 0,5x Pan screws 4x20 black, cross recess, 8 pieces
  • Plan for DIY kit

to be mounted on a piece of wood

  • electrolytic capacitor, unetched, 6.8 μF / 70 Vdc
  • 1.0 mm air core coil, 0.47 mH/0.32 Ohm
  • Metal-oxide resistor, 5W 10 Ohm [brown-black-black]

Kit with high-end-crossover without cabinet, price per speaker EUR 36,60 excl. VAT: € 30.76 / $ 33.22

Impedance correction

  If you want to use a valve amplifier with this speaker an impedance correction should be employed. In this case the component quality is less important; therefore, we offer only one kit (upon request higher quality components are available).

  • electrolytic capacitor, unetched, 15uF / 70 Vdc
  • Metal-oxide resistor, 10W 12 Ohm [brown-red-black]


Price per impedance correction for one speaker, to be mounted on a small wooden board.   EUR 5,50 excl. VAT: € 4.62 / $ 4.99

universal PCB

If you prefer to mount the crossover components on a 159 x 127 mm universal PCB instead on wood:
Universal PCB RA160, order no.. str-RA160, price per unit: EUR 5,90 excl. VAT: € 4.96 / $ 5.35
We recommend one board per kit (two boards for a speaker pair)
