This is my first attempt into the diy thing. I had upgraded speakers until I had what was my dream speakers (in my price range), a pair of Paradigm Studio 100 v.2.
When I saw an ad for a pair of Eton 11-581 woofers locally I snapped them up, started researching and ended up here.
They are 3 ways, with the Etons, scanspeak 18w/8545 mids, and morel mdt33 tweets. They are active with a Rane AC23 crossover and a 6 channel B&K amplifier. It is a relatively modest system but blows away the Paradigms in almost all respects. Both cabinets are reclaimed, the woofers are in a customized set of cabinets I bought locally, 50 years old and the mids/tweets are in an old pair of monitor audio cabinets I also bought locally with blown drivers.
I have in the works a new set of bass cabinets, and new uppers will be next.
Thanks everyone for all the inspiration and knowledge!
