new speaker for Vifa A10CC-07....

Nanook · 26th May 2008, 06:08 AM

as part of my ongoing,"I still wanna be a reviewer" work, I stumbled across these drivers at Apex Jr. (I am in no way affiliated with Steve at Apex Jr.). We had use for some HT speakers for my audio partner.

On his site ,a 4 litre enclosure is suggested. Vented with a 1.25 " dia. X 2.375" long vent. Well after my renewed interest in omnis, we came up with a 36" "tube" using these. left the bottom open, needs to be about 3" off the floor. Little bit of Dacron at the open end. Still needs some dampening in the tube (ice guard or wool felt).

I heard some Ohm Walsh speakers in 1980 or so and was completely impressed. Seems Decware promotes their use, as does Linkwitz for ambiance or HT applications. Even without crossovers on the tweeters, they are completely off scale in sound vs $$, and compete against much more expensive speakers.

A little beyond description is how I'd describe them

.

For anybody afraid to tackle a DIY loudspeaker or first project, it doesn't get much simpler than this. Enough bass to satisfy all but the headbangers, not as jaw dropping ads the P10 "Fonkens", but pretty damn good.

Once the crossovers are built (well actually when the parts get here), and fine tuning is done I'll let any interested in the results.

Mods have been made to the Xover, in the tweeter section, so that the tweeter is not padded down. Direct firing they sound bright, upward firing, they sound about right.

A lot of laughs for say, $40-$50 a speaker including good cross over parts (carbon resistors and Solen inductors and caps), some of your binding posts (if that's what Mike bought), and the enclosures and stands. I think they are going to be very "High" in the "SOAF" (significant other acceptance factor). Perfect for 7.1 Dolby.

Hi there,

Have a good one
