Hello Troels,
My name is Peppe and I write from Italy. Thanks to your project, I just
finished to complete these speakers:
http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/PL18XT.htm
My system is new, but small and modest. I purchased the pieces two weeks
ago:
CD player: NAD C516BEE
Signal Cable: RAMM Elite 30
Integrated Amplifier: NAD C356BEE
Power cable: Supra Classic 4.0
Speaker: Vifa XT25 + PL18 (Supra classic 1.6/2.5)
It 's my first system and I am very satisfied.
I will provide some details on the speakers that
I built , and am very satisfied. I used real wood side 7 mm : American
walnut . I left natural and I treated it with beeswax and carnauba . The
rest I was going to paint it white, like the furniture in the living
room . I gave 4 layers of cementite with roller (do not know the exact
name , but it is the product that you use on mdf before painting and is
usually white) . As a result, I liked it, and instead of spending the
paint , I simply applied as a spray plasticizer transparent protection .
The crossover is located under the base . I slightly changed the base to
fit the furniture in the living room .
My room is large 9m x 4,5 m ( 40.5 m ) . Its height is above average :
3,30 m.
I must say that the plant occupies only half of the room. Speakers +
listener is an equilateral triangle with sides of 3.70 m accurate . The
fact remains that the environment is great. To the right of the
listening I have a wall, while on the left the other half of the room
without installation.
I enjoyed very much to build the speakers, and I
sincerely want to start with a new project. This time, I'd rather go
over the two-way. Feel the need to have greater articulation at low
frequencies, since the room is large. I do not want to add an external
subwoofer. In particular I'm looking for a project and a half two-way,
or maybe a three way you can drive with my amp. The Ekta would be
perfect, but the speakers cost so much. Prefer also take components scan
speak. There is a project of the ProAc 3.5 clone, or at least a two-way
and half configuration of Appolito?
Can you help me?
regards, Peppe
