## Questions & Answers

**Q: where can you picup the Perfectionist Crossover. for the 4.1A speakets**
A: you cannot pick that up, you buy the parts and replace some of the parts of the kit

**Q: Can someone please post the crossover schematic of the 2.2 kit?**
A: I don't recall the kit coming with a schematic. The crossover board is labeled as to where each component goes.

**Q: what Near field mean**
A: Near field means that they are suitable and accurate for use on a studio desk, one left one right close to you. Some larger speakers may not be great at being listened to up close, because the drivers can be too far apart to properly integrate as one sound before they reach your ear.

**Q: If anyone out there has built these I have questions so chime in please?**
A: I have built these, highly recomend them. Sound amazing. Sound way bigger than they are.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome for music or home theater
*by M***N on September 16, 2017*

Edit: I've purchased two pairs of Swans 2.2A kits and really enjoy both of them. The 2nd set had an issue with a distorting tweeter, but HiVi came through with a replacement. These are great for both music and home theater.1st pair review----------------------------INTRODUCTION. The Swans DIY 2.2A kit is based on the $1000/pair of Swans HiVi 2.1SE Monitors. From all accounts the DIY kit uses the same internals including the woofer (though it appears to be a variation) and tweeter. The cost savings comes from assembly – mainly soldering the crossover, gluing the panels, screwing in speakers, and finishing. It’s the finishing that really drives up the cost due to the 2.1SE’s real wood veneer and lacquer finish. Most of the kit’s assembly is pretty straightforward especially if you’ve done a DIY speaker kit before.SPECIFICATIONS. System Type: 2-way 4th-order vented box system / 6.5" bass-midrange driver / 1.1" soft dome tweeter / Frequency Range: 43Hz - 20kHz / Harmonic Distortion 53Hz - 20kHz ≤1%(2.83V/1m) / Sensitivity (2.83V/1m): 86dB / Nominal Impedance: 8Ω / Power Handling: 10W - 120W / Dimensions (W×D×H): 8.1"×12"×13.8" / Net Weight (each): 21.4 lbsTHE SOUND. For reference my main speakers are Klipsch RF-82II's (dual 8" towers). For music I am more of a Led Zeppelin/Metallica fan, but listened to music with more of a wide frequency range when I tested these. Mainly, I listened to classic Bee Gees, Duran Duran, and Chic. The Swans DIY 2.2A have similar bass response as the Klipsch towers so being those towers reach down to 33hz it is very believable the Swans reach their claimed 43hz. (At 1/3 the size). Their sensitivity is believable at 86db as I had to turn up my budget 2014 Sony AVR from 24 to 32 to match the level the Klipsch towers were playing at before I switched them over. Momentarily I did turn the AVR up above normal listening levels and there was no distortion or eminent feeling the speakers were at their breaking point. I am happy about this because coming from Klipsch speakers with 95+ sensitivities I thought the 86 sensitivity could be an issue on mid-range and below amps/AVRs.I am listening in my AVR’s stereo mode so the full frequency is reaching the speakers. I do not claim to be an audiophile, but to me the sound of the Swans 2.2A kit is smooth, full, detailed, and quite adequate in the bass department. I've had cheaper speakers that have a "thin" or "boxy" sound and the Swans are way above any budget line. Yes, they need a subwoofer to play full-range, but in my opinion every speaker really needs a sub including my Klipsch towers. Also the Swans have none of the Klipsch "harshness" some complain about. I don’t complain myself, however I really only use the Klipsch speakers for movies. But for music now I definitely prefer the Swans at this point. There is not much difference quality-wise overall to the Klipsch towers. Yes, the Klipsch towers are louder but we are talking about dual 8” towers vs. the Swans 6” bookshelves. I think as well as being smoother than Klipsch the Swans are more subtle, detailed and less “in your face”. And when I get a nice wood veneer on them I’m hoping the Swans will look as good as my Klipsch’s look.PACKAGING. When unpacking and opening the box there’s a sense of quality all around. The well protected MDF panels are precisely cut, the heavy woofers, and surprisingly heavy tweeters are both packed in protective Styrofoam in separate internal boxes. The crossovers come with PCBs (boards) for easy assembly. The only minor things missing are glue for the vinyl and grills, zip ties for the crossovers but otherwise the contents are massive and well thought out including speaker wire for wiring the crossovers to drivers and input posts. It also includes nice finishing touches like Swans logo stickers for the grills and a badge for the rear.INSTRUCTIONS. The instructions overall are helpful, but could use a little better English translation in a few areas. There is very little instruction on how to apply the vinyl covering, but I’m planning on doing a wood veneer, so that didn’t concern me. Some of the instructions are a little vague as well, but this is nitpicking because if you are going to assemble a speaker you’ve probably either done it before or have researched the process in advance. There is one mistake in the manual which reverses the resistors as R1 and R2. This is in the initial “Package contents” section. If you just go by the photos in the assembly section you are alright because they are correct.ASSEMBLY. If you've done DIY before it will be quite easy and I will not go into detail here. Like I mentioned before there is almost everything needed to fully assemble these speakers. The only thing that surprised me was using 45 degree MDF enclosure cuts which made assembly more difficult than straight cuts. Attaching one side wall to the inner window brace is the best way to start. I then added the back, the other side, the front, then the top and then the bottom. I couldn't really use clamps the way I normally do because of the 45 degree angle which moves the panel up when you tighten it. But I did it one by one with plenty of glue, let it stand overnight and had it playing the next day.SUMMARY. I highly recommend this speaker kit for music as this is where I believe they truly shine. I tried them as left and right for home theater (the new Wonder Woman movie) as well, and they weren’t lacking in this area either. So use them for both if you like. For me I’ll stick with Klipsch's for movies since I already own them. For music I’ll now go with the smooth detail and subtlety of the Swans DIY 2.2-A. I'd add a photo, but they are unfinished at this point. I am ordering a 2nd set (they are that good), and will post completed photos with that review.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ok speaker but no magic
*by G***. on October 3, 2019*

After reading many very good reviews I was anxious to try out my HiVi bookshelves. I enjoyed building the kit . It was simple, but I have rebuilt several vintage speakers and built some speakers in the past . It’s a fun kit and the parts are very good quality. The box is very sturdy and well braced . The build quality , I believe, when completed is far above anything you could buy in this price . The really good speakers that I have heard to me are part magic . Everything is in harmony and when you listen you think “wow” . While these speakers do sound good . To me they lack the magic that makes a great speaker. I thought the midrange sounded thin and that they lacked some on the top end . I tried them on four different receivers and every time I found myself trying to adjust to compensate. While they do sound ok to me if I had heard them beforehand I would have gone another route . *UPDATE* I auditioned these speakers in a much larger room with my new Denon integrated. What a huge improvement. These 2 way bookshelves need plenty of room to breath. I am happy with them in this setup .

### ⭐⭐⭐ Speaker are great
*by S***N on July 3, 2021*

Great speaker if you get all the parts
