Description

Room dimensions are 6,50 meters long, 5 meters wide (the wall where the system is). It's actually a double room, there's the same size behind the camera so it's actually a total room length of 13 meters with a partial wall between the two room parts. Listening position is about 3 Meters distance from the speakers.

The next step will be building a (better) rack. :) I'll plan to make a sand filled beech wood construction ...

And i'll put some more fillings into the speaker cabinets - due to the two woofers and the cabinet construction there's a peak around 450 Hz that should get reduced a bit ...

Ah, and the DSP will be replaced by a EV or Dynacord - i currently use the Behringer DCX2496 which is just too noisy with the > 110 dB drivers.

And kudos to my friend who has built the speakers (i just did the finish and the listening and some experimentation)!

Your speaker-work is outstanding! I wish I could bring my homemade 12b4 amplifier (1.5 watts) over to hear it on them!!!!! Keep up the great work - and consider going into business for yourself! An AFFORDABLE horn is what is in demand now!

Sincerely
