Rob's Dipole Speaker and Turntable Projects
The midrange/tweeters are a special Wisdom Audio version of the stock Bohlender-Grabener RD-75 planar magnetic drivers (150hz-18kHz, though most DIY builders find they sound better if only run down into the 300z-600z range).

The web's most extensive discussion of all things dipole is from Siegfried Linkwitz, retired HP engineer and co-inventor of the nearly ubiquitous Linkwitz-Reilly 4th order crossovers.
Four Lambda Acoustic 15" woofers (per side) designed for dipole use (flat to 2kHz, Qts of 0.94).
Still need to build custom steel tube frames and MDF baffle boards.

The active digital crossover/EQ/time delay unit is a BSS MiniDrive FDS336.
More info on this extraordinarily flexible "speaker management device".
Other products, which do essentially the same thing, are available from dBx, Rane, Bohringer, XTA and Ashley, amongst others.
A similar project from Cicago's Kurt Chang. This uses a stock RD-75 driver with four 18" JBL woofers. ==>
