Spawn of Frugel-Horn

[planet10]

Ähemm, any idea how long it will take?

I have the data... it takes about 1/2 an hour to do a 1st pass, it is just a matter of finding a 1/2 hour in amoungst the jobs that keep the wolves at bay....

I won't stretch your gentleness but is it possible to design in metric measures? Since the Monacor is more common in Europe then the imperial measures world.

But if not, I can recalculate the dimensions.

My CAD program doesn't work in any specific units... Scott usually sends designs in imperial units, but what i generate id dimensioned in both inches & mm.

Myself i design in whatever is convienient for the task, in, mm or cm... we build in mm.

being a mechanical design egineer myself I can figure out the measures, if you can export an .dxf from cabinet cross section an front view. Or if you work in 3D I work with Pro/ENGINEER and can import STEP or IGES data.

If this makes sense for you.

All of Dave's drawings have both Imperial and metric values for all dimensions, as he noted above (see all the Spawn CAD drawings) so you won't have a problem on that score. As it happens, this one was done in metric anyway.

 

[TKsys]

great, and thanks a lot for your work.

an .dxf

dxf is a lousy file format... you loose sooo much information.

Great job. This gives an idea of what the dims on the Olivia will be
and confirms that I have adequate trim on the rough cuts made at the store.

If you need Olivia just mail me. I haven't finished the doc, but there is enuff there to build from.

Dave,
Is the same true for Gabriel and Brynn?

At the moment I don't have a car and have been bussing around. so no hurry. This repair job might take them more than a week.

What is the process to mail you? From Frugal or here? I am not doing PMs and whatnot very often.

Either works...

Dave i think I sent a thank you.

I printed out the measures.

Here is a request for opinon-- even though these desings are coming out if the same 'studio.'.

Thereis the old saying about you can never be too rich or too thin.

I'm wondering if that's true for the Olivia.

I'm looking back at the Harvey and thinking I like it better aesthetically.

But what are the sound trade offs? I'm the one who likes very controlled bass and sharp and crispo mids for things like solo acoustic guitar and even string bass (trying to catch that plucked string decay with no muddiness.)

Because these are still theoretical builds I'd rather build to the custom sound. Visually, the Harvey seems to offer a better completed look.

But this is about sound. I'd be A/B testing with a BIB I have already completed. [Maybe this year I'll find a digital camera on the cheap and post pix.]

Purely gut feel on my part -- Scott might be able to offer more -- i suspect Harvey has a bit more finesse sonically. The Changs great appeal is their absolute simplicity. And with the requirement of most of our speakers to co-exist with the room and the SO, having options is always a good thing (even it it makes deciding what to build harder).

My harveys were my first enclosures and my first wood working project, they did take a while but were not that difficult to make. The only tools I had was a skill saw that you can set the blade angle, square, measuring tape, and four clamps. I am doing a little better now, especially in the clamp department.

What family are Olivia, Gabriel and Brynn from? Will they be posted with the Changs and FrugalHorns?

Thanks.

@Ed Robinson

So Ed, how do the Harvey's sound? I know my BIB build took a few tweaks to have god mids and some lows.


Also started to read the 35 page thread on EnAble. That is pretty daunting for someone who knows little.

But hey, it's a hobby.

They are MooseBVRs ie in the same family as Calhoun, Shadow & all the Changs. Olivia is ready to be posted to the FH site (just waiting for dotMac to come back on line after maintenance). Brynn & Gabriele are not far behind, and Maria (for the Eminence 12LTA) should be up soon after Scott gets back from London.

Anyone needs any of these now, just mail me.
