What do people think about the Q-Speakers?

jaimango · 5th January 2010, 01:47 PM

Hi everybody,

Just wondering what people thought of these:

"Hand-crafted in New Zealand – Eco-friendly, real wood speaker systems. For people that love music and design."

Looks like a beautiful design; with two 30W full-range speakers pointing down (they look to be about 4"?) and another woofer in the front, each unit is built for stereo sound.

With the built in Class D amp aside, I wonder how one might put together a simmilar project? Also, I wonder at the downward firing full range speakers, how would the crossover have to be modified for the reflections? I would love to try a variation of these but am relatively new to the whole speaker building world...

Here is an image. Maybe a transmission line or something could be made in the same style?

You'd need the plinth shown to reflect the FR off - carpet would absorb most of it.
