Dear Troels,
After more than two years, I would like to send you a report about my
EKTA mkII.
I was looking for a high-quality, time-coherent three-way speaker with
paper cones, reasonably high sensitivity, and not an excessive amount of
bass, as I planned to integrate two subwoofers into the system. The EKTA
fulfilled all of these criteria, so I decided to build them without ever
having heard them before.
Well, actually my father built them. They are made entirely from solid
beech wood.
To be honest, we massively underestimated this project. A well-meant
piece of advice to anyone considering building speakers from solid wood
instead of plywood or MDF: don't do it!
The speakers follow your design exactly. The only difference is that the
crossover networks are housed in separate enclosures. In my opinion,
this improves the proportions and makes the speakers look even more
elegant.
As for the sound, I am absolutely impressed. And I honestly believe that
I have not yet reached the end of what these speakers are capable of. I
would like to thank you very much for sharing your designs with the
world. It would never have been possible for me to buy a commercially
available speaker that comes close to this level of quality.
Best regards from Leipzig, Germany,
Jonas
