ScanSpeak Ekta mkII, built by Niklas, Sweden

Copyright 2021 © Troels Gravesen

Hello!
Finished at last, only took more than half a year of build. Have a lot of construction pictures if you what them on you page. And yes, I pleased with the sound, gave me goosebumps.

Haha, didn’t think you put out that casual picture, but what the heck, that’s how it looks most of the time :) I’m trying out some more diffusers as you can see..
 
As told, this has been a long project. But I  seen it as an hobby, building when it’s fun, and with a 2 year old in picture, you don’t get a lot of time 
 
I have send some pictures for you, it’s fun to build when you have the right tools. I stuck to your plan the best I could, only thing I changed was to make it a little bit taller to fit my listing position. The finish is ok, and I found this black/grey colour fit the speaker (and the room) pretty good.
 
And the sound, gave me goosebumps the first session I listen to them. And I still have some “burnin” to do, will be interesting if it has any impact to the sound. Who I now find really natural, everything is there. And I love the focus, you can almost visualise the singer in front of you !
 
And as you can see, these ekta mkII are part of my 5.1.2 surround system. The center might just be an new project in the future, with the latest scan speak version of yours :) 

Med vänlig hälsning
Niklas
