Hi Marcel,
Generally I am not a fan of horn loaded speakers as I find that after extended listening to them I get tinnitus and this mainly from the HF horn driver in a multiway horn loaded speaker. I did not find this with the Monacor coaxial driver. I suspect this is down to the HF horn being ...

Unfortunately no going back now Nick and it is what it is. I can however, line both sides of that brace with the wool underlay which should help with preventing any air bleed through the holes?

No Reason Nick other then I needed to have these panels cut from the routed sheet of ply as there was not enough space to have them cut on the band saw schedule from the standard 8'x4' sheet. It cost no more to have those holes routed in the panels so I thought why not.
On the recommendation of ...

OK for those following this thread some build photos.

Below shows a full set of cut panels for a single speaker:

Having made quite some progress with the build I have no near completed the build of both cabinets, ready for the internal damping to be ...

I agree with every thing Nick posted above.
You may give some consideration to caging those GM70 valves, especially if children come visiting.

Slight change in the design of these new speakers.
After chatting with Chris661 and Scott over the weekend I have decided to drive these speakers fully active using the 3-way Hypex FusionAmp FA123 modules.
What with the success of the active bass setup on the big'uns it's been an itch I needed to ...

Quite some progress since last I posted.
The Satori midrange drivers have arrived and were delivered beginning the week.
I have modified my CAD drawing to the MK3 variant the cabinet design and emailed a DXF copy with a cutting schedule list to by plywood supplier for a quotation for doing the ...

Having emailed Scott a copy the MK1 and MK2 variants of the new speakers for comment, he had a couple of observations. He suggested that for optimum listening the HF driver should be at ear level when seated in the listening position at my home and to keep the bass drivers no higher then they are ...

You should take pride in what you have done here Ray. New system looks the bis.

Enjoy working on the speakers and I hope I get to hear them once up and running!

You'll certainly get an invite when they are finished. I'm sure Lynn will keep us well fed and watered in her usual way.

Nice to see you are 'tinkering' again and looking forward to where you get with this new project :D


Andy, I'm afraid the 'tinkering' stops with these speakers. The 'swansong's' took a lot out of me and I'm not getting any younger so I had to promise Lynn these will be the last pair on pain of ...

One is never too old to learn something new.

Painted heatsinks are not ideal.


Well the heatsinks on your P6 amps are black. I assumed these were either spray painted or powder coated? I seem to remember from my Physics 'O' level days that black painted radiators radiate heat better than white ones. But I confess to have little to no ...

Fair point Nick.
However, that price I believe is from Soundimports which are based in the Netherlands. I cannot find a UK seller for the Purifi drivers. In which case wouldn't there be UK Import Tax and customs duties, plus currier clearance charges on that shipping price? Agreed though likely ...

Ed,
That chassis would look right shoddy if sprayed matt black.
