They don't have stock of almost any drivers.
Looks lovely......Can you please elaborate a bit on the build. Is it a vented system or a tapered front transmission line design. I see you also want to use passive radiators along with a vent. So almost everything possible to address bass is in the mix
I wouldn't suggest using passive radiators along with a vent. I was hoping to replace the vent using passive radiators.
I am building this system for my 87-year-old mom. Hopefully, it will be ready before her 88th birthday (Jan 2nd, 2024).
The build is centered around a Mark Audio MAOP7. Since my SPL needs are more than a single 4" can cover, I am working on a WAW (woofer-assisted wide range) design. There will also be an "optional" rear tweeter (Founted Neo CD 1.0) to add "air" (this is not shown in the design as it is optional). The crossover duties will be via a mini DSP 2x4 HD. The amps are from Advance Acoustics (woofer section) and Yamaha (wide range).
The MAOP 7 is in a tapered short transmission line. A shorter transmission line should suffice since I do not need it to produce anything deep. I considered using a Voight line (as in the Pearl Sibelius), but Fenton's system has no woofers assisting the wide range; this one does.
The woofers are SEAS H1480 SL. I think they are 16cm each. You can get more information on the woofers from SEAS's website. They are the same that Siegfried Linkwitz used in his LXstudio speakers (see link).

4 of them should offer the same Sd as 2 8" woofers. You can source them from Madisound or Falcon Acoustics (links below)

Each pair of woofers will be "tied together" using 4 stainless steel rods (16 have been ordered, cut and threaded) as in the KEF Blade.
Since the towers are slim and can topple, they need a stabilising base. Using a water jet machine, a base as shown in the image below will be cut from aluminium. This is a copy of the Karl-Heinz Fink-designed Concept 500 (by Q Acoustics).
