nice wood Nelson, its not mdf, better sonics?
Can a speaker like this handle complex music, play rock loud and not distort, or are they better for suited to laid back music?
I built a speaker kit and realised my music tastes changed to fit my system. Next speaker I build I want to be able to play everything with good dynamics and bass.
Theres alot to be said for auditioning and buying, but its not as much fun and I cant afford what I like

Yes, it's two way, with the emphasis on full range drivers
and woofers in an open baffle.
I'll let the curves do the talking:
Wow then!
I have an op-amp based x-over for my 2 x 2 12" Peerless woofers, built after emailing with Sigfried L. Seems your B4 can substitute this, then!

1) Yes, it's mdf
2) I expect they will do more on the bass, but the FR will
still have the same limitations.
3) Nothing is more fun that DIY.
Here's one of the 10 B4 prototypes that went out for industry
evaluation.
Mr. Pass,
I hate to be the one to tell you this but -- it appears that some prankster has removed all the op-amp chips from that circuit.
With regrets,

The inductor looks like the plate choke on my 40 meter transmitter 45 years ago.
> On another subject, look what just arrived.
Not to discourage you, but I had the luck of having 20 of them to measure and select that ones I might want. 20 of them of the same ranking. In the end I returned them all. Apparently they had changed with age so that they were not in their ranking spec anymore.
I guess we just have to live with Loveltech or SiC.

Wow, a Dunlap Clarke Dreadnought.
I don't think I would tear that up for a DIY project.
It was a great sounding amp, especially after I replaced the main filter caps with larger ones. But, it went DC and destroyed a speaker. The meter switches on the front are frozen solid from age.
Well, maybe, I'll start a restoration project in Solid State and see if I can fix it up, so it's stable. It does have a history... could really drive a load from what I've read.
I'll be testing these probably today. I'm not really worried
about matching that much, we work with what we've got.
