that's not just a brace, but also used to adjust the net CSA/Volume of slot port - by changing the width of that strip the tuning can be adjusted for a range of drivers

That strip (as many as 3 in some boxes) allows us to, for instance for the milliSize enclosure -- support a wide range of drivers* in the "same" box (only differeing in the vent spacer, baffle & holey brace.

*(for the millSize some drivers include A7/7.3, A6/6.2p, EL70, CHR70.x, CHP70.x, CHBW70, FE127e, FF105/125wk, FE103, at least 1 TB ... )

me too, some kind of crazy issue with current photo viewer on my PC at work - which for some reason I've not been inspired to remedy

Dr Dave to the rescue shortly

 

[jonparkhurst]

They look like these..

Cool..

 

[Cal Weldon]

I got it. I just blinked my eyes and wiggled my nose.

Yes Jon, those look pretty sharp also. Maybe they're sisters?

My brother is in Dubai right now. I assume he is visiting his real brother. Won't be back for a few more weeks. Retirement must be nice.

Scott retired?
That's too bad, he seemed so young and energetic! Come to think of it, I believe that he told me that he was going to retire about this time!

Maybe it'll work out, although I'm not so sure about staying in Dubai. I suppose if you can stay inside an AC'd building, it's OK.

Best Regards,
TerryO

Perhaps it's part of a weight loss program?

Mar-Kel70 floorstanders

Possibly the last CSS EL70 speaker to be built.
Built out of solid Yellow Cedar, sides and back are 17mm thick
top and baffle are 24mm thick. I built these for my brother so
only had a couple hours of listening to them. Really surprised with the bass,
I have the Mar-Kel70t built out of red cedar as my main speakers and these have a little more bass. I was tempted to keep them for awhile and give him my red cedar speakers .

 

[doorman]

Nice job !
if one counted the seasoning time for the yellow cedar, this job took a while.
It's a beautiful wood, not often used.

 

[toobhed]

Gorgeous cabinets, hobbers! …hints of the Abbey from the profile view and yes, the EL70 is the little engine that could.

[hobbers]

Thanks Don and Mario.
The yellow cedar is reclaimed so it is well seasoned.
The el70 will be missed but hopefully Mark will come up with a replacement, a paper a7 with a little more bass possibly

A couple of older builds that I never posted.

Mar-Kel70t built from solid western red cedar.

mFon-Ken FF85wkt built from solid Santos Mahogany for my daughter.
