It's been a 2 year journey - but they are
magnificent, I'm v v happy! Crossovers temporarily placed on small
tables, peeping out behind the speakers. Lower cab damping and
final port tube installation is pending.
I've decided to use bitumen damping panels on bass cab side and rear
walls. Apart from obvious differences like size, the major difference I
find between my Totems and the SBA10 is the possibility of panel
resonance (found simply by knocking with the knuckles). If there is a
next one, I would use 22mm ply rather than the 19mm which these are
constructed of.
It'll probably take me another 10 days to complete the damping/ port/
base(legs) and final fit of the crossovers, meanwhile, a
breaking-in period for the drivers and crossovers. Enjoying the sound
completely, I realize why Troels' seems to have a soft spot for the
SBA10. Cant wait to wake in the morning and listen, can't wait to get
home from work and listen.
Warm regards.
