Dave, I just finished this mono, Mar-ken 10.3 last week. Thanks for sharing your design expertise!

The panels are a combination of baltic birch and birchply, covered with some left-over raw walnut from an earlier FH3 build.

As has been said before, the angles of the trapezoid version are a fair challenge, especially for this less capable builder! And fitting the holy brace...the same, sheesh!

Thanks again, Pete

Trapezoidal Onken for Lowther PM6A. Thanks to David Dlugos of Planet 10 HiFi for the bespoke design. 18mm Baltic Birch plywood, solid red oak vent spacers. Finished with 12 coats of amber shellac and a top coat blend of orange oil, beeswax, and carnauba wax. I've only listened for a couple hours so far but they sound superb.

Also pictured are mFonkens for Fostex FE103Sol and MarkAudio Alpair 10P.

Those interested in more pics as well as thoughts on build process and creativity can follow me at Instagram: @boisetverre.

Edit: For some reason a few of the thumbnails appear sideways, but they correct when you click to open the larger version.

uFonken inspired

These are not built from any of Dave's specific plans, but there were certainly heavily influenced by his Fonken's and sized to be close to the uFonkens. Made of solid ambrosia maple with walnut accents/spacers. FF85s. My first try at building my own speakers.

Thanks Dave for the plans. I have finished some Trapezoidal dMar-Ken for theAlpair11ms. They are made from recycled solid Marri (with some help from marine ply for the internal sides) with western red cedar vent spacers.

The Mark-Ken family grows...

here are the finished pics of the mMar-Ken7ms for the Alpair 7ms and the dMar-KenA11R for the Alpair 11ms. They are the centre channel and rears for a surround setup. Thanks Dave@planet10hifi for the plans. They all sound great and the depth / fidelity from the millisize mMar-Ken7ms defy their size. I've got some more pics of the construction - let me know if anyone wants me to post them?
