Re: Spendor S3/5 clones, for inexpensive?

You could just copy this posted speaker design. I built one just for kicks. The drivers are great but the 27TDFC tweeter is a little nicer IMHO. The 27TBFC is an aluminum version which is actually slightly more rolled off if you can believe that. Both of those are drop-in replacements for the specified tweeter.

It's similar to the Spendor in that it is low in efficiency but goes surprisingly low for a small speaker and is on the warm side.

I built one for fun but also built my own version which I like better. Both are surprisingly good. I used Sonicaps, Mills resistors, and 14g inductors on the woofer on my favorite one. It's not much more money and sounds better to me.

If you can solder, purchase or build a box, and cut accurate round holes then you can build it.
