Default Diy Esl 1.0

I wouldn't mind picking the brains of someone who has built Sheldon Stokes' DIY ESL 1.0:

Perhaps Sheldon himself is out there..?

Yeah, I'm out there. What would you like to know?

They produce laser beams of sound at high frequencies... They are big and ugly... They sound damn good to my ears... They are a one person ride...

There's a lot you could do to season them to your taste.

Those ESL's use about as simple a stator design as you can have. Perf metal one piece design with 3M foam tape as spacers. I used copper foil as the conductive contact. The clever portions of the design are my active crossover and my high voltage circuit.
