Other Notes: These are a DIY kit design offered by notable online DIY audiophile Troels Gravesen. This pair was built by Troels, and features the same crossover components described on his website.
"The CNO-25-mkII is not a speaker particularly demanding on source material. I hate to say they're forgiving, because forgiving is often associated with lack of detail and transparency. These W18NX drivers are in no way short of detail and transparency but the intrinsic smooth response - as for the Ellipticors - pays off in an ear-friendly overall presentation. If they turn edgy, we haven't done our crossover work properly - or we play too loud.
Adding to the positive is the 1st order filters, for the mid-bass drivers well beyond point of crossover and for the tweeter down to point of crossover, where it starts descending 2. order, but with an overall proper phase integration given the stepped baffle and time-alignment.
The CNO-25-mkII presents a more powerful bass compared to the CNO-mkIII. Two mid-bass drivers can obviously move more air compared to a single driver and although it doesn't go deeper - on paper - it feels so. And the increased sensitivity is felt too. My 32 wpc EAR-861 has no trouble running these 90 dB speakers higher than they should from their 4 Ohms tabs.
Oh, and I had forgotten what a phenomenal tweeter this Crescendo T29CF002 is. One of the true high-end tweeters. On top of all this, these EXCEL drivers come with an impeccable finish. Lovely pieces of engineering.
BTW: I have two 18WNX001 drivers some ten years old and I was pleased to find that they performed exactly the same as the new ones supplied by SEAS. And this goes for the W12CY003 as well, meant for the coming CNO-3-way. We pay for this consistency in production - and it's worth while."
