of course i can buy or build something good here (in buenos aires you can get stuff from all the good manufacturers in the world and also stuff from some argentinian hi fi companies). it's just that i didn't know these speakers and they were below the money i was planning to spend in the construction of my own. so, i asked.
thanks!

i was wondering what these sound like, also when the chance

arose, well, i really wanted to make some thing like this;

Looks like a horn loaded Fostex, Lowther or sim with a compression horn tweeter as super tweet no?I honestly never heard many fullrange drivers other than few old 60s and 70s drivers that werent Lowthers or anything like that.Looks intresting though I wouldnt mind having a listen.

SS-M9ED

I have a pair of their much less expensive siblings (SS-M7's, bought as a demo pair on closeout), and like them a lot. But, they were too expensive for the mass market, and the Sony name kept audiophiles from taking them seriously.

Looks good a decent kit is a good way to go.Probably be better than a many budget speakers at the retail stores.


I wasn't trying to discourage you or knock Sony but they are guilty of making many bad speakers like many other companies.Thats all I wanted you to avoid is buying some crappy "vintage" speaker.(No all vintage speakers are not bad just the badly designed ones[Or cheaply made ones])

Good Luck with the kit.When you get going post some results.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

some final touches left to do, and then painting, stuffing and placing the drivers.
the back panels are ready and waiting for the rest of the box to hold them.
