Seas Idunn Kit - Photos galore

[hasaudio.co.nz]

We are currently organizing cabinets for the new Seas Idunn Kit, the thor, odin and mimir, along with other kits we offer. Here is the idunn in cherry finish with a black baffle. Cabinets are professionally made by a loudspeaker cabinet manufacturer. The photos arent very good, and we will upload better ones soon! Let us know what you think.

Very nice job there. What are the highlights/lowlights of the design in your opinion?

Thank you for the compliments
I am not quite finished with the painting yet. I will add a motive of the viking goddess Idunn. This will however not be added very soon.

Highlights:
Very good dispearsion: linear FR even at 60* off-axis, impressive.
Very low distortion.
Good crossover: simple, yet very effective.
I like the smooth roll-off bass response. not too many BR designs does that.
The u18rnx/p handles large excursion with ease. 14mm x-max, 22mm x-mech.
Very natural sound.
The drivers look cool and modern.
Norwegian drivers...

Lowlights:
Not really, considering the price. I paid 3500nok(1american dollar=6-7nok).
Mabe a bit low sensitivity, but you cant really expect much more from a ralatively small 2-way speaker.
I will say this though; if I where building this kit today i would probably make them smaller, with less internal volume and higher BR tuning(mabe 60-70hz). Just too get more "punch" in the mid-bass, this is only a reflection of my personal taste and because i use them together with a sub-woofer. However, as standalone speakers i recommend maintaining the original volume and design.

Comparing them to my PSB T65 they sound more "hifi" correct, and a bit cleaner. they also illuminate the room much more uniformly. A little less "dynamic"(hard to explain).

Just remember too build very rigid boxes, since that is pretty much the only thing coloring the sound from this kit. I am at least very glad I used internal bracing in the mdf box.

Here is a link showing the construction proses: Its all inn Norwegian, but theres a lot of pictures
