Goodday mr. Gravesen,
With great pleasure I'll send you this mail upon the completion of the
Faital 3wc-12 that I have built after your design. It's hard to describe
the joy when you hook everything up for the first time....and sounds
comes out....glorious sound!
I have built a set of speakers before, but it's been years and I should
have considered myself a beginner again. Mistakes were made, and lessons
learned. I kept the crossovers external, for no other reason than that I
was sure I would screw something up and keeping them external would make
trouble shooting easier. Things went better than expected.
Building the cabinets went well, taking into account the limitations of
my talent. Life is too short to have boring speakers, so I covered them
in bright wallpaper. Should I ever become a serious person it is easy
enough to remove, for now I'm enjoying it. The baffles are black so they
don't distract when listening to music or watching a movie in a room.
I started this project in my vacation, and needed about 2 weeks to
finish the build. I then quickly cut some acoustic stools from Ikea to
the advised height, added essential audiophile plants and spent the
remaining free days listening to all my favorite music with new ears.
Some jobs remain (proper stands, building an amp worthy of the
3wc-12...), but I'm already enjoying the speakers tremendously. Thanks
for making this design available!
Marc,
the Netherlands
