Planar Speaker Gallery

[pcb121055]

Have I missed it? Is there a gallery for the planar forum? For my tastes, these are great looking speakers and I have seen some well done projects in my reading here. You guys that have won the DIY battle should post your trophies!

Thanks for the responses guys. Jer, yeah this is the only speaker section without one. Thomas, I will try to find your pics I am just surprised that you guys haven't already been showing off your speakers. Lots of intelligent contributors... I'm betting lots of great speakers. Just need to pull them together.

That's awesome. speaker building never tasted so good! cool jig too. i was looking for the bicycle tube. how does that work?

 

[geraldfryjr]

As far as I know it works pretty good.
I will have to build me one sometime as I still use the heat method for now.

Here is a link to CharlieM's inner tube stretcher,

Thanks jer, and thanks for the link. I have to be more careful with my sentence structure because I meant to inquire about the method of generating the stretching effort. i had seen CharlieM's jig and the inner tube was clearly visible but I did not see one in Moray James' one. Perhaps it simply clamps the material?

Do you mean planar speakers or ESL's there is a big difference!?
