Improved Madisound Cygnet MK2 speakers
Here are my daily users which i built and then rebuilt a while ago. They are shown to be standing on the floor but they are of course supposed to be bookshelf or stand mounted.
It's a cygnet mk2 kit which I got from madisound.
I wasn't satisfied with the original kit due to "cardboard tapping" like sound
, which is why I have opted for a 2nd order XO and different XO frequency, and opted for a round port at the back instead of the crazy square port on the original.
Huge improvement over the madisound series XO and enclosure, even if i do say so myself.

Cant you cut the flange of the tweeter just a little where the overlap happens? or for that matter inset the tweeter's flange behind the woofer's basket?
A work in progress, should be done in the spring.
SEOS 24, BMS coaxial compression driver, AE TD-15M in a passive resistive cardioid enclosure, AE TD-15S in a stuffed 5ft^3 enclosure(Q=.5). CD has passive filters, the woofers are active. Coming soon is a rear firing 15" woofer with delay, to make the woofer section a cardioid too.

Great pic of your system

Thanks!
Crown XTi1002 and 2002. I'm happy with them in this system as they're powerful, very versatile and don't sound bad. Since this is a high efficiency system it's not a problem, but with low efficiency speakers, fan noise is a real issue. I also have a pair of full range 84dB towers, at moderate listening levels the fan was screaming. Fortunately, they don't even turn on in this system.

I'll be sure to let you know when they're done so you can swing by.
Looks great !
What speakers did you use ? and filters ? any measurements ? How do they sound ? How did you construct the roundings in the back of the tall ones one the right ?
Cheers ,

Hi , thanks i put alot of work in the design. For the big ones on the right i use seas 27TBC/G, seas u18rnx and two dayton rs225. They have Linkwitz Riley 2. order.
Bass: +-- 4,7mh-------------+
-------------------|125uf --- -
Mid: 1,8mh--------100uf----------+
---------------| 6,8uf ---|6,8mh-- -
Tweeter: +-- 4,7mh------------- 2 ohm ------------- +
---------------------| 0,55mh-----------| 10 ohm --- -
Im very satisfied with how they sound. I dont have measument equipment, so took quite a wile to test different combinations, the clarity overall sound is impressive, deep powerfull bass. For making the round sides i used 5 layers of 3mm pine/mdf , bent over a "skeleton" of mdf, 6 liters was used in the prosess.
The mid have ofcourse its own chamber of ca. 6 liters.

I dont know but i built this little 8kg boombox for my workspace...
The radio itself is inside but the front panel is just outside wired to the main thingy, its also under 45° angle... took like 10h+ total but cant remember tho

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
We build these a couple months ago for my daughter.
At the right side you can see the 2e hand Eidolons ; we have been testing several units till we had , for our ears , a superior sound.
Took us about 14 months to come to the right choices.
And 4tweeters , 6midranges , 4woofers.!!
We used a dbx driverack and aleph pass for getting the x-over points.
The x-over now is aircore , mundorf ; so passive for the final sound tweak etc.
About 59kg each .
She is going to paint them herself with "pictures" on the sides ; has her own ideas about design.

My speakers. They are designed on my request by Tony Gee. I built them myself. I've been listening to them for almost two years now and I decided to sell them because I would like to build something else.

I like that honesty; not because you need anything better or these have any issues, but just want to build something new
They look fantastic and I'm sure your new build will be top quality, look forward to seeing it
. I use those tweeters myself, very good transient response but the limited vertical dispersion can be a bit restrictive. Are the woofers sealed?
