Hi Troels,
first, i apologize for not reporting back sooner. i have been enjoying
these speakers since last year. the reason is after looking at other
builders stunning finish, i don't feel confident to put them on display.
but i feel i owe you something so thanks a lot for these awesome
speakers.
they are made entirely from baltic birch plywood including the front
panels because i can't find quality mdf in my small town. to fill the
pore and make the color more even i used white oil-based primer. my
fault is i put it too thick, sanding it unevenly and rush things up.
this is my first diy project so this will be a lesson for me.
the very first thing that crossed my mind when i turned on these
speakers for the first time is : where are the tweeters ? the treble was
there but even from 1 meter distance i can't tell which one is midbass
and which one is tweeter. very impressive ! midrange is open and non
fatiguing. the huge 13 awg coils and superior z capacitors consume more
space in the internal cabinet but i think they paid off in the speed of
bass and naturalness of treble. usually i like a bit more bass so i add
bass using digital equalizer. the result is amazing : deep bass without
sacrificing the speed. when my neighbour saw the size of my speakers, he
asked me where's the subwoofer.
so thank you once again for this precious gem. i chose this project
because i want to upgrade it to ellam flex 3 way sometime in the future.
not anymore. these already exceed my expectation for my small living
room.
best regards, Anang
