I didn't think it possible for OB to be cute, but those are adorable. Makes me want to make a desktop version of mine.

You probably could. Neo 8 + 6.5" or 8" woofer?

What are your impressions? What kind of setup(amps, crossover)? It looks good, nice job!

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

Thanks

I had MJk OB before with Fostex 103 but always wanted H frames to try.
H frames sounds pretty good to me .At the moment using tube amp for top and wintage Teac amp for sub.
For crossover Minidsp.
Im puting together 8 channel Tk2050 amplifier just to make easier playing with minidsp.
At the moment its not 100% setup i want but im happy anyway.

I spent about $50.000 on my set-up, too... That was the used price, not new!

So far I've spent about $50 on mine.
I think I'm ahead.

Not DIY, but the latest entry model from Forsman. As an H-baffle it's a departure from Forsmans V-split-dipoles.

Interesting that Forsman has left his trademark design philosophy...

Speaker looks cool, but I'm a bit worried about the H-baffle around the tweeter. There would be some reflections, diffractions and odd polar response.

 

[Khanate]

Sure StigErik. I was thinking as you. On their other speakers there are a waveguides around tweeter and midtone-speaker. As an entry-model I guess they have made efforts to keep the cost down. Their statement product, the VSS5, has got an cnc-machined solid-wood structure that of-course is immensely expensive to manufacture. And their mid-price-model, the VSS4, has got a more "high-tech/designer" look structure (including waveguides), that at least looks more expensive than their entry-level efforts.

Oak Case open baffle

Seeing these... is it just me or does anyone else feel compelled to put on rose coloured glasses, some Jimmy Hendrix, multi coloured flashing lights and fire up a doobie?

I was thinking more of music in the sauna!

Good to see you posting again Sir. It's been a long time.
Hope you're doing better Nick.

Thanks Bob. Still pretty much the same for me but my interest in the DIY side of things has been re-awakened (although I am still very content with my own OB's).
