hi-fi answers transmission line

tonysherwin · 15th June 2010, 09:46 AM

Just to let people know i finally completed my replica of hi-fi answers transmission line speaker. Was a long hard project but the sound is worth it.

Nice. Did you take any pictures of construction?

tonysherwin · 15th June 2010, 11:20 PM

Unfortunately i did not take any photos during construction. The only changes i made were to increase the side panels to 35mm mdf for greater rigidity. This is the second transmission line of this design i have made. The first i had to leave after marriage breakup (she liked it too much).I always missed the sound it produced. I am now sort of considering trying my hand at an atkinson transmission line simply for the challenge of the carpentry involved.

Tony is there a reason why you left the design with the mids and tweeters separated my such a distance?? Just getting the original drivers must have taken an effort, congratulations on finishing

The distance between mid range driver(b110) and tweeter (t27) is as per the original design.The only thing i changed was to make the front of the speaker in two sections. Base and mid range in one and tweeter and super tweeter in the other.The reason for this was that if i decided to upgrade to better speakers at a later date i could do this easily without making an entire front piece, which involves a lot more rebating and woodwork.

Yes i have a full copy of the Chris Rogers hi-fi answers transmission line also a copy of the later version pro9TL which was a 3 way system with a similar interior fold setup.I also have photos of atkinson TL during construction (very complex) If you can e-mail me i will send them to you. Not sure whether it is ok to put e-mail addresses on post, please advise.
Regards
Tony

I have the 1st 2 and the Atkinson article. Don't have build pictures thou.

That doesn't look like the specified T27 in the pictures of your Pro9TL Mk1.
