Unused MarkAudio Alpair 7Pen (enabling done by Planet 10)

[ZacharyP]

I finished a project with my pluvia seven and am absolutely smitten. Therefore, I am looking to send these alpair 7PeN to a new home. I wish I could get started on the Trapezoidal fonkens but home renovations have gotten in the way

Asking price: $165+shipping

I just bought these, so I'm thinking I'll have a second pair of Frugelhorns??? Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike

FH3 is the got-to design if one has the space. that is where we started the serious break-in of ours (then the MTMs for a long time). There should be a free CGR (& a centre, on Frugal-phile.com, no time to look, poke me if there isn’t) and a growing set of plans in the A7x planset. There should also be a Pencil.

Thanks Dave. I figured the FH3 would be the best way for me to go. I have a pair with A7.3s and really like them. I'm looking forward to the A7PeN in a pair.
On to another thought.... How do you suppose FH3's with the A7PeN sound compared to the A12PW paired with the A7PeN?

Alpair 7P & Alpair 12PW combination.

Thanks,

Certainly more bass is gonna happen, at the expense of having an XO and an extra amp. But that low most of the evils of XOs can be bypassed.

I should add that the MTM ML-TL we did with A12pw & A7PeN then A7.3eN is probably the best speaker we have built to date (the Ellipsa with A7.3eN & SDX7eN not far behind but with a higher aethetic level IMO — but given the time taken one could build at least 5 pair of MTM in the same time). We did prefer the A7.3eN (& the A7 MAOP) over the paper cone A7 but with lots of break-in (100 Hr +) the A7PeN were not bad (yours BTW have some 1000+ hrs at low level on the break-in bench, but that is not the same as real-world use.

I have to discuss with Scott whether we make the A12pw ML-TLs freely available like the Pensils or charge a small amount for the set (single, double, and folded versions).

I got these today. ZacharyP did a great job packing them and shipped them right away. The Baltic birch selection isn't great hear, so I bought some oak ply. Will be starting on these soon, hopefully. Honey-do comes first.
