Thanks for the heads-up. Try this again...

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

curvy Pensils - Alpair7.3 - flat sliced Black Walnut sides, figured Anigre fronts, Solid Surface base plinths

and a lil bit of blood, sweat & tears.

Those are beautiful chris. Do you notice any subtle (or not so subtle) differences from flat face non curved versions?

 

[chrisb]

Haven't made an extended comparison, so I can't speak to the sonics, but sure do love the look of the curvies - they were a bespoke build, no longer in my possession.

Any info on these? Sealed? Bottom port? Rear port?

 

[chrisb]

Pensil design family is vented at the bottom of the line, so there's no reason the ports couldn't be placed on the rear, or even the bottom? provided sufficient clearance to wall/ floor boundary .

I made a pair of pensil 7.3 for markaudio CHR 70.3 gen 3

but without the hollow of 7mm for the drivers. Just the hole.

is this a problem?

thank you

 

[chrisb]

If by hollow you mean the chamfer on the rear side of driver opening, yes - with drivers as shallow as any of the MA 70mm series, that's probably at least as important as recessing for flush mounting. I always do both with any small FR driver with a frame as thick as these.

Thank you, sorry for my english but I mean the hollow around the front of driver

 

[chrisb]

I'd refer to that as rebate - as my comment above was actually rather vague as to it's importance, I'd suggest that if possible, rework them to rebate by the approx 6mm deep and extra 11mm over the through hole diameter of 102mm.

Another question. Wich rubber sockets can I use for my pensil 7.3 ?

the floor is tiled (or made of tiles) I don't know in english

thank you

p.s. I made the cabinet with MDF

 

[chrisb]

If by "rubber sockets" you mean feet, I've never been a fan of spikes on either floorstanding enclosures, or stands for monitor sized enclosures. After damaging several carpets and hardwood floors, I've only used thin self adhesive backed felt furniture glides for smaller builds, and the teflon versions for the heavier ones - and nothing that attaches with a nail / tack.

Nice work alexdelli!

 

[hobbers]

Very nice alexdelli, I like the color you chose, it goes really well with the driver and your decor.

Hi alexdelli,

Dusky beauties you've got there!

How do they sound? Do share your listening impressions.

alexdelli - beautiful execution! Are those veneers? if yes, what type are they?

thank you, my wife didn't know about my new girls

Nice work alexdelli!

thank you, but I'm very tired, for me it's a new kind of work.

Very nice alexdelli, I like the color you chose, it goes really well with the driver and your decor.

thank you, I prefer another kind of color, but this is the result of a mistake

Hi alexdelli,

thank you, at the moment there isn't any stuffing inside, so the sound is not clear, but listening Pavarotti they impressed me a lot. They sound better than my prevision.

alexdelli - beautiful execution! Are those veneers? if yes, what type are they?

thank you, no, it is a wood effect using a rubber tool, but for a better result I have to improve my technique. It is necessary to use the tool more slowly and with less undulatory movement.


TO ALL: sorry for my english but I'm using google translator


next days I'll post a video on youtube
