I don't know?!? - camera mic - to Youtube compression - streaming through my work laptop (chrome browser of course) - Nu Force USB DAC/Headphone amp - ETY 4s - kicks ass!... great sounding speakers!... :)

 

:dinny:(yup - for me to poop on)

 

Side note - this did sent me on a hour long search for the saint saens introduction and rondo capriccioso recording that he used in one video.

It stopped raining long enough to take a couple of pics of the beams we replaced. I'm especially psyched about the LVL that replaced a completely rotten beam perpendicular to the house.

And now we've turned into an electronics shop with Dr. Luvdunhill building the crossovers for Otis's speakers.

I had a pair of these...

And a 50" Panny Plasma in a small class C motorhome.

This will be a walk in the park.

We got one crossover finished, will most likely finish the other Tuesday eve.

I'll glue on the Cherry baffles tonight, then it's just a matter of soldering on a few spade lugs.

Done!

These are not just your standard two ways. Instead, Marc has paired basically a full range driver and a super tweeter, then customized a crossover to take best advantage of that pairing. 

These drivers have to stretch their legs before I can really assess them, but so far I'm impressed. They're bigger than I had originally thought I'd build them, but still, make a pretty good nearfield monitor.

Bass is far better than I expected. Eventually, they will darken to match the Parasound case. The window will speed that process up.

Also, both those drivers are magneticly shielded - so no fear putting sensitive things nearby [emoji4]

 

First time really pushing the boundary of a woofer up to the higher end, had to control cone breakup in the crossover, but curious how it ends up.

 

One huge benefit is a wide sweet spot and great imaging.

 

It does simulate well, that’s all that counts, right?

X2 or 3.


Since when did people care about speaker building here? Heh.

I want to get back and measure the speakers and can post info here - I did a similar speaker with Jordan JX92S a while back and these are similar idea but larger box. I can post both designs if folks care. I have a third design with Raidho ribbon but screwed up the boxes and haven’t gotten around to fashioning some nice pieces of wood to hide the mistake (I mixed up the top and bottom of the speaker when working on some stand attachment mechanism) :) I should do that sometime!
