Yes sorry I meant trapezoid mini onkens (hence the picture with all the clamps)
Been so busy with work, and just yesterday my wife gave birth to our first child.
Thats why this has taken so long! Even longer now I have a child.
But soon enough when I get the chance I'll get to listen to them. For the moment they look good just waiting to be used.

DonVK,
By "traps" what Vishalk meant was "trapezoidal" as in P10 Dave's Trapezoidal Mini-Onken design.
Vish, please correct me if I am wrong.
Build came out very nice. You got any chance to give the Slim CGRs a listen?
Congratulations on the new born.
I'm looking forward to your very sleep deprived posts
I hope you didn't squeeze all the glue out of the joints, it can happen. I don't clamp my joints, just weight them
You make a fair point, enough glue was used and it was squeezed equally all round with until all joints looked sealed and closed, yes a little glue was pushed out but not alot. Made sure of this!
Thanks guys, hahaha yes a few sleepless posts will be coming your way.
Actually I'll send my wife away to her parents, giving me peace and time to play with the speakers.
The SLIMS have just been nicely sanded and cleaned, think I may just use some form of matt clear finish on them as I like the look.
Super tweeters?
Any thoughts on the use of Super Tweeters? Bought these at a fair price and decided to freshen them up a bit.
Anyone got experience on using something like these with fullranges? Just experimenting and seeing if i will like what i hear, if i can hear in that frequency range
Wondering if they are any good!

Looks like a ribbon or electrodynamic ribbon. Caps + LPad give a 1st order XO with level control. One has to be careful crossing to a driver such as the A7 with its extended HF. The “large” centre-to-centre may cause sufficient problems to negate any gains from the probably better HF response of the ribbon. One also has to worry about differences in dispersion pattern.
You can only try it and see how you like it.

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

Thanks Dave I did have those thoughts when using it with the Alpair.
Like you said give it try and see what If I like it.
What image host are you using by the way?
Trapezoids are almost done!

I just linked to your picture on google.
Did you paint a black supertweeter white?
dave
How does one link like that? Ill Google it and check.
Yes I did paint them white using pastikote paint, they needed a fresh look.

I use an odd browser that lets me configure my contextual menu — you might have to poke around with other browsers.
I control clik the picture in your googgle space, copy the link to the clipboard and post it in the post inside picture tags.
Did you avoid getting any on the ribbon?
dave
Painting a driver, is a risky endeavor. Solvent vapour can penetrate the tape.
Super tweeters like these would be wasted on my ears. I'm hoping you'll post your listening impressions.
BTW if you're interested I've included a link to some simple hearing test s/w. Its automatic, you just hit the space bar when you can hear the tone, so it can be done "blind". A word of caution: set your speakers levels to the low side of normal listening (do not crank it). If you can't hear it, its because "you can't hear it", do not raise the levels attempting to "fix it" otherwise you'll probably blow a tweeter. Free Hearing Test Software
