First of all I have
to thank you for your support in building those speakers. It had taken
me approximately 6 months to build them. Then for the next four months I
had them painted by the Paint Sprayer.
To stay within budget and being able to start listening to them I had to
give up supercaps and replace them with KZK K78-34 which are supposed to
be better than Jantzen standard but no so good than supercaps. The cost
of those caps is 185$ and I’m pretty happy with their sound.
Midrange cabinets of the speaker has been insulated with natural sheep
wool, and bass cabinet has been insulated with both sheep wool and
Monacor MDM-4.
The cabinets has been covered with veneer bloodwood and lacquered to a
high gloss.
When it comes to the sound the first thing perceptible for me is
humongous low-running bass which is fast and with some records even
shakes the walls and floor.
Acoustic adaptation of the room, which is pretty empty, is still ahead
of me.
Dynamics are surprisingly good, I mean
I did not expect such a good dynamics. My prefered tweeter attenuation
is 3.3 Ohm since KZK caps sound is a little bit on the dark side and
with 4,7 Ohm there was not enough treble.
The sound is authoritative with great scale and culture, not aggressive
at all, I can get a sleep while listening to the music, it’s very
relaxing.
The truth is that with these speakers you tend to crank the volume up.
The sound is clear, clarified, transparent and detailed.
I’m very happy with those speakers.
Best Regards
Marek Pigieł
