Beautiful work! Looks really classy with the clean lines and different types of wood.

gvr4ever,

Maybe you should have waited until it was a finished product? I believe that is really what should be posted in this thread. Am I wrong?

Long overdue. They have been finished for awhile, but here they are.

Nice bedroom tunes.

I hope to add a small tweeter next. They could use a little top end help.

Hey Porkchop. Looks great. How do you like the sound? Did you not also try these with FE103E?

Cheers

Hi guys.
Here's my contribution to the thread. Plans from Scottmoose and Planet10 at Frugal_horn.com

These are the Spawn Oliva's and sound superb.

EmergencyDpt,

What is that lovely vintage cabinet to the right of your right speaker? That wouldn't happen to be a mirror in lid TV receiver would it, or a pop up projection set? If it is I'm not familiar with this model and I think I know most of 'em.

[EmergencyDpt]

It is not a tv. It's a record player/radio of some kind. I'll have to get back to you as I've forgotten exactly what kind. I have two of them.

I will say they sound "different" to me, but of course I'm used of traditional 3-way commercial speaker systems (except for my Altec A7's). I do notice the sound is more "point source" vs my old speakers. Vocals are VERY nice with these speakers, and the bass is pretty good for such a small driver.
I didn't try these with the FE103E's yet, probably when I get my income tax refund next year

The HF drivers are old Radio Shack 40-1375's:

Wanted to a) try a horn construction and b) the Hungarian Sonido speakers so I got myself a pair of SFR144 and some pieces of MDF:







The Quackti on top of the box is used to absorb and silence .... distortion??
