A basic design description from another site - Page 2

If compact "desk top/bookshelf" size factor is not critical, you might want to look at the Metronome. For a monopole design, these will be pretty shallow ( 6" or less).

The Metronome

Another very decent sounding enclosure design for the FE127 is the

New Fonken pair is born.

There's also the Cyburgs Monitor:

Cyburgs-Monitor for CSS FR125S

I'm still leaning toward the FE167E/Supertweeter combo, to tell the truth. Maybe I can cut my woodworking teeth enough on those to take on the Ariels as a pair of mains later on.

Hello Consol,

PM me I will give you my phone number. I think you will like the FE167's I designed.

I also built some FE127's for a friend, we have yet to assemble the cabinets. They are 10L tuned to 70Hz. These would be another option (less cost) as well. I feel you may not want to use Ft17H with the FE127's they have more of a high end peak and no dips like the FE167 has at 15kHz.

The FE167 with Ft17H project cost me around ~$550.00 to build including wood and electronics. TheFE127's cost around ~$260.00 including electronics (give or take $50.00 for each project depending on what electronics you want to use). I used exspensive 1% mills resistors and Erse iron core inductors for BSC.

I used 18mm marine grade baltic birch plywood for both projects. I also used sonic barrier to line the cabinets from parts express (I used the 3/4" version).

Out Here,

Robert W.

I can't seem to PM you using this board. I'll go ahead and PM you on the PSW board instead.

Thank you for bring willing to help me out!

I just wanted to bump this up to make sure rfenergy sees it. Also, if anyone knows how to PM someone on this board, I'd greatly appreciate knowing how, as I can't seem to figure it out. Thank you!

Hello Consul,

I tried to PM you and on this board and it said you did not allow PM's. So check you user preferences here and see if everything is set correctly.

I did get your PM from pro sound web. I have your number. I will call you this week for sure, doing the holiday thing today.

Out Here,

Robert

Really? I don't remember disabling them, but I'll certainly fix that. Thank you, and thank you for your help!

EDIT: My options screen said I had PM's turned on, but I went ahead, shut them off, then turned them back on, to see if that helped.
