"Tired2way" speaker building.

[Salas]

Sounds like you gathered some valuable experiences there. Good work. The joy of diy, creating, learning, eventually trying higher goals.

 

[Starre]

Sure has been fun, Salas, and thanks again to you and Mikvous for making the original.
I hope others will be interested making these speakers, since it can add more knowledge and happy listening .

 

[Starre]

I am currently evaluating the cabinet and sure, it still has a weak spot making some sound not wanted. When I am ready I will use another bracing and I am closing in its position listening to piano recordings.

 

[Salas]

You got the stethoscope alright?

 

[Starre]

Sorry for the late answer! No I do not have a stethoscope, but it is rather easy to hear anyway. I have had some problem getting the wood for the bracing, I will get it this week I hope. Too bad I made my original lower bracing placed in the "wrong" position, so I do not know how much this has caused my trouble. By the way Salas, the RCL-link used in the crossover, can it be removed if you use a solid state amplifier?

 

[Salas]

Its still better with than without the conjugate LCR.

 

[Starre]

Ok thanks. I ask because I read at a forum some time ago remembering they said it was mostly helpful if you had a tube amp to cope with a impedance peak. I have started a new project and since I have to learn more about crossover I remembered this and wanted to ask you.

 

[Salas]

Not great damping factor amps do benefit the most, but its still an aid with capable solid state amps too in my experience. Just not too much.

 

[Starre]

Always nice with speakers that doesn't need superpowers to work good.

 

[Starre]

FInally got some 33mm pine round rod, time for the last bracing. This one will be placed inbetween the lowest one and the extra bracing I put in earlier. I use 33mm this time since 27mm used last time was not enough.

 

[Starre]

Bracing in place, drying over night. I will post a pic tomorrow.

 

[Salas]

Let it dry well then.

 

[Starre]

Good use for it over in Greece, right Salas? Heard it was quite hot, wish we had a little of it here, only 20-25 degrees Celcius .

 

[Salas]

41C

 

[DrDyna]

41C

Oh, man, I'd be dying...are you close to the water at least for swimming?

 

[Starre]

Omg . I am going to Spain next month, but I really hope it wont get that hot, lol. 30-35 is what I can handle. Hope you got a BIG fan, lol .

 

[Salas]

Athens has seaside all around from its south to its west. Me I am in the city center near Acropolis.

Man, I'm a Canadian kid, any more than about 27c and I start to look for air conditioning, lol.

 

[Salas]

I have aircon but I use it minimally since I don't like the way it dries the air.

Props sir, you're made of tougher stuff than I am
