The pics are of the alpha build (Scottmoose also have a pair, as yet unbuilt) which i am thourougly enjoying.

I am just shipping the last of the betas and building a pair myself ... if i can build a pair anyone should be able too.

If you want to see my progress, early work on the docs here:
Cedar uFonken assembly

Beta builds are showing some adjustments required, when Bernie has some time, there will be official flat-paks of these. Each pair will be unique, andi look forward to seeing how people will finish them.

I have only breifly touched on flat-paks in plywood for these, but once Bernie has the cedar ones sorted, and we know what jigs work, we may do some if there is demand.

For the FEST we used a PLLXO, with these i am now staring to ply with a passive series XO.

Very nice Dave! The woodworking and veneer grain matching looks great too.

 

[j.leger]

Are you going with a two way xo or a low pass on the woofT only?

 

[planet10]

It uses an XO with HP & LP (1st order). Active (PLLXO) was pretty simple, passive is more work.

Floor standing Mar-Kels done today. 3 coats of Osmo finish.

Here's some more photos.

In the first photo I still had the driver masked off for finishing. It is not some kind of amazing grille cover for the speakers... I had to do this because I ended up with such a tight friction fit that I cannot get the drivers out! Totally a mistake on my part. I think my jasper jig must have shifted slightly towards the pin setting for this cut out and so shaved a tiny bit of DIA from the hole. I'll have to be more careful next time.

I had them running with a TA2024 from Ebay, VERY happy with the sound.

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

This looks like what I need in my living room to replace my ProAc 150s

Are you going to offer this design as a flat pak?

Congrats Kyle, nice job indeed.

Any difference you find in the sound vs a standard MarKel-70 (which also sounds great)?

Thanks!

The sound is very similar. They have a very satisfying low end.
