little blue penguin Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 A few weeks ago I finished these cabinets (see thread on construction) and I really love the sound of the speakers. I've now purchased some meranti ply to build better cabinets for the FE126e drivers, so if any of you are interested in these cabinets (without the drivers) PM me.

Hopper1553552708 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 So...progress? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little blue penguin Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 No, we are not there yet! Actually I'm finding that plywood is not as user friendly (the user being me) as I was expecting. Also the new cabinets are being built for the wedgie version, which has created other difficulties with accurately cutting some smaller items. On top of that there are all these inconsiderate people who want to buy cables from me. The plywood cabinets will eventually be finished, but I have no idea of when that would be. Hopper, have you got your own drivers to install in these cabinets? If not then I might be interested in selling the complete speakers. That would then give me motivation to finish the new cabinets.

Hopper1553552708 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Nope, no drivers but I see in my future some 206's in various cabinets (Voight pipes?). I would still like to try some full rangers to see if they are to my taste. Just started into landscaping, lawn down, fence to do, so funds are a bit tight ATM. No hurry though, good things take time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little blue penguin Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 That's cool. I thoroughly recommend the single driver concept. It removes all that complex loading from the amplifier in such a simple manner (apart from the complexity of the cabinet build). The next step to better performance is to go active with multiple amps and active crossovers as Antipodes (and others) have mentioned. Haven't got there yet though. ATM I'm enjoying the pleasures of so much sound/detail from so little hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopper1553552708 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I like the idea of going way back to basics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
