Any progress with the builder?

I have a question about the Pensil 10.3.
If I double the thickness of the front panel -- mostly to provide additional thickness to achieve a roundover in real wood -- what does that do to the port at the bottom?
I would probably stop the front piece at the top of the port and round over to it resulting in a partly flared opening. But isn't the configuration of the opening critical? Would this screw things up?

You wwnt to keep the depth of the terminus from 18-20mm.

Hi. Just arrived back home from Myanmar Yangon. Maybe in the weekend further.

One back panel .

 

[Hondasnl]

All 32mm panels (except the 32mm baffles) glued together with overlength, but internal dimensions are according design and drawing.
Very heavy and strong already!

This weekend I'll sanding all overlength panels with the adjacent panels and make a start with the baffles.
Nice speakers!

Excellent work! and thank you for keeping us up to date. I can't wait for the final result. I'm also thinking in building my own set.

FWIW, I purchased a FHXL flat-pack kit from Planet-10 several years ago; one of the few kits to come down into the USA from Canada. I have nothing else to compare them to, but hands down they have been the finest sounding/performing loudspeakers I have ever owned (still are). Everyone who has ever come over to listen to them has been blown away. The most incredible aspect is their phenomenal bass. However, that does not overshadow their wonderful speed, transparency, and ability to put the listener right into the venue. And, all from a single crossover less 6-in driver. Truly amazing.

Where can I get the plans?

Alffie,

Please drop an email to Planet10.

Stanislav,

My understanding is that the plans are obtainable by making a donation to diyAudio.

 

[Stanislav]

OK, I'm deleting the attachment then.
I'm sure Alffie will find a way to get the plans

A big step further today.
Also good machines.
Still a very rough surface but very good dimensions, leveled and correct angles.
Greetings from The Netherlands, Brielle.
