Hi Troels, well, bit
of an update here. I've had the speakers finished for just over a week
now. Has been a journey in the making of them and one that has continued
on afterward.
Initially I thought the speakers were a little brash in the high end
(with the higher R1 value installed). My existing shelf unit was too
high for the designed listening position - I tried sitting on a cushion
in the interim! But within a few days I made time and cut my shelving
down, knocked up some stands of appropriate height - to get the mid
driver at ear level.
This brought everything together. I definitely feel that I experienced
speaker break in as well. They've settled beautifully.
I have a single sub with an old Velodyne SMS controller on it. Running
the sweeps on that with the sub off showed the 3WC-10 comfortably doing
30Hz and then some. There's very little work left for the sub to do
(though I plan on making a second sub to even out room response). I'm
working towards revised shelving to get the records lifted up out the
way and bring more breathing space around the speakers too.
But truly, they're marvelous. I love the speed and weight of the bass
and upper bass, these registers now have tone. There is now a presence
and effortlessness that had been lacking with my previous small 2x
monitors.
Thank you for your design and assistance.
Kind Regards
Pete.
