Categories: 10-15 inch Bass Speakers
NEW PRODUCT.
The Scanspeak 38WE/8582T00 Ellipticor is built on the same principles as its smaller siblings (18WE and 21WE), its key features are an elliptically shaped voice coil and magnet gap. Combined with a large powerful SD AirCirc magnet system the 38WE/8582T00 woofer has high sensitivity, unusually low distortion, and extremely fast transient response. This 15 inch woofer is not for the faint-hearted.

Been looking for a supplier of replacement drivers for some years.
Willy's HiFi had just the parts at a good price and they arrived in a couple of days.
Excellent service. Even a personal thank you hand written on the invoice.
A quick delivery and the tweeters are perfect on my mission 753 freedom speakers. Easy to fit . Highly recommend.
I’m no expert when it comes to speakers, but after some research (and a strong recommendation from ChatGPT), I went with the SB Acoustics SB65WBAC25-4 as a reference full-range speaker in this size range.
Having now tested them, I can confidently say they’re probably the best speakers I’ve ever owned. The clarity is outstanding—every detail comes through with incredible precision. The bass is surprisingly full and punchy for a speaker this size, and they handle power impressively well. For anyone looking for a high-performance compact full-range driver, these are hard to beat.
Item as described and arrived quickly - and did the job. However, I suggested that anyone replacing speaker foam makes sure they have a very large pair of sharp dressmaking scissors as it was not easy cutting to size without producing a ragged edge (which I managed to hide short of a close inspection)!
