TJL2W-Neo3 version
- and the never ending clone
built by Johnny
Hi Troels,
Just wanted to tell you that the completion of the
speakers above have been a success. The Proac 2.95 are in
a cherry veneer with real cherry plinths. The TJL's are
in a mahogany, stained in a dark red oak. The TJL's are a
little modified with the port facing downward though the
plinth. It actually worked out really well, especially
for my horrible room placement. As
for the sound, the Proac's have incredible bass extension
and are a little laid back compared to the TJL's. I
haven't spent much time with the Proac's since it's
in my friends system.
The TJL's have one of the best upper midranges I've ever
heard. Acoustic guitar is so lifelike it's scary. Not
hearing the original design I would say this speaker is a
little forward and aggressive but not in a ear bleeding
way. The distortion levels are amazing with this combo of
drivers, very clean sounding. Accurate without being
bright or too dry.
A project taking
approximately about a year for both speakers in my
friends workshop, I've become addicted and can't wait for
the next project. Except working with MDF, just nasty and
dusty. I would like to thank you for sharing your
wonderful designs and all your help
through e-mail... JohnnyP.
