A happy snap of my CHR70's

ALTRE552 · 19th October 2011, 12:14 PM

Finished up my first speaker build today. CHR70's in 6L sealed.

At first I was a little sad I couldn't get them in gold, but I'm liking the silver now.

Have you seen the chr70 gold in person. It's not like the alpair. I think id want silver.

Nice build by the way.

The "gold" Alpairs are copper. The "gold" CHRs are champagne, they have just a touch of pink in them. The last gold drivers that were gold were original generation Alpairs.

After realizing excellent results with open baffle (many ‘full/wide range’ drivers, regardless of specs, can be used on something around 2’ wide x 4’ tall when including bass support), I began wondering about sealed boxes and drivers that work well in them with bass support. I always felt the three and four inch TB’s I used performed well in simple sealed enclosures of reasonable size. When partnered with a powered sub everything gels.

Wide range drivers offer many ways to musical goodness. I bet your relatively simple sealed speakers sound great… and would sound even better with bass support. Enjoy them!

I’d like a pair too! Uhg! Not many will be able to go back to speakers with crossovers after listening to these things for a while… I can’t! All I hear is the handoff from one driver to another.

Smart looking speakers, now enjoy!

Make sure you break in the drivers gently before playing loud.

At first look I thought you had some type of Markaudio variants- the centers look like they are inverted(!).
