Sorry about that. Fat finger on the submit reply
ALUMINUM WAVEGUIDES
I received a few emails while I was figuring out the details but please email again if you want a pair and I will keep track of things now.
The price is based on min 10 for CNC and paint.
Have 2 comitments now. Thank's Ben and Matt from Alberta.
Sincerly, Joel

The Waveguide is wider than the tweeter mounting plate.
The holes in the WG are halfway between the outer perimeter edge of the bottom recess and the outer perimeter of the WG.
The supplied wood screws are from Solen and designed for Diy speaker projects. They look like machine screws and have an alan head and recess perfectly in the holes.
The WG will screw into the sub front panel with new pilot holes. Screws go 18mm below WG.
Black Powder Coat
Hope this helps, Joel
Joe,
Thanks for the reply. Perhaps you are willing to answer another question. It seems that half of the crossover really does not do any filtering. These parts seem to merely act as a load for the power amp. I am of course referring to strings L4-R2-C3, L5-R3-C4 and 10R-0,68u.
I have seen this before as optional for tube amps, but never before as standard part of the crossover.
Would you recommend using them for a high power, high feeback solid state amp? I am asking because these parts seem to contribute to the cost of the crossover significantly. Thst is not a problem per se, but I wouldn't want to waste my money.
Thanks, Lex

WAVEGUIDE FILLER
What about using the existing felt and cut out the hole for the WG?
Use both pieces, one for back fill(or wood strips) to keep it flush
Tried it quickly with some left over. looks pretty good but imagine it with nice felt, veneered cabinet and accurate trimming..

Good try... but no.
KEF used conjugate for a different reason. And if you look at the conjugate alone... that is simply a distraction.
I really can't say too much at this stage. If I may speak cryptically, think noise... and no, I don't think you will guess it. It is very left field - but audibly very obvious.
We know that at least one very high-end designer (very to extremely expensive speakers) who is aware of this, but he is clearly using a different approach to the same subject. So there may be other ways of dealing with it. He won't say, we won't say.
Just build it and enjoy it.
Cheers, Joe

Unpainted would be cheaper but needs a protective coating and slight machining lines show. Powder coat hides lines
My intitial talk with the CNC guy was to use some form of plastic. Round stock blanks for a pair was $440.
A 4x8 sheet, same material was $400ish and making them on his table CNC machine is not best idea for that profile. Still would cut the sheet into rounds for lathe.
In the end Aluminum was the way to go
Thanks, Joel
Joel,

Some Waveguide fillers
Some one already mentioned it but think I'll try gluing in filler and then using filler around the edges. At this point I can level the the mdf and veneer over the front complete.
My fronts are 17.5 mm ply so have to recess Wg a little more into the sub front..
