Riviera Acoustics began as a catalogue of components for loudspeaker building, trading from the early 2000s into the mid 2010s. It carried Scan-Speak, Peerless, Vifa, Morel and Tang Band drivers, along with the capacitors, inductors and ports needed for the crossover and the cabinet.
The site is technical documentation today. It sells nothing and takes no orders. The pages follow the original organisation by brand and component family, with text written to explain the differences rather than to list part numbers.
The structure of the site follows the original catalogue tree, recovered from archived pages: the same split between drivers, crossover parts and cabinet hardware, with the same brands and series. What has been rewritten is the text, because the old product pages carried prices and part numbers rather than explanations.

How these pages are written
Each brand page states what separates that range from the next, then what it means in a build. Each component page covers the choice, the rating and the failure mode. The guides follow a project in order: parameters, loading, crossover, measurement.
Figures quoted are the ordinary working ranges of the category — air velocity in a port, typical Qts bands, the audible spectrum. Where a number would depend on a specific unit, the page says to measure instead of quoting one. Nothing here is a product recommendation and nothing is for sale.
Start with the drivers, the crossover components, or the parameters guide if this is a first build.
