Really fantastic. Do you plan to share filter details and drawings? This could be my next project.
The problem in open the project is the time that is small to document everything and give due support at all stages. I'll think about it, but now I have no way, unfortunately.
Tks,

Dears,

Congrats!
The speakers look lovely however the room (from what I can see of it) is substantially less than ideal.
My guess is that treating the room properly now would give greater gains in sound quality than any equipment upgrade could achieve.

You are absolutely right, this room has "only" 25m2 but the boxes will go to a final room of approximately 120m2.
Thanks for the comments

I wasn't directly thinking about the size of the room, more about how reflective it appears to be.
A larger room does help by itself within reason but it will also give you more options to add methods absorption, diffusion and bass-trapping without it becoming too obtrusive.
Large, thick rugs on that tiled floor would be a good start and cloth-covered sofas usually make excellent bass traps. Quite a lot can be achieved if you keep acoustics in mind when decorating but I appreciate that being in Brazil has got to be another major consideration. (I just assume that it tends to be hot and humid which would make wall-to-wall carpeting for example a possibly bad idea.)
I'm not trying to be a d••k, I just think you take your system seriously enough to start thinking about room acoustics so you can release its maximum potential.

Thank you for your considerations
I have another room and that I'm doing a very special acoustic treatment. As this other room is relatively narrow and these very heavy boxes, I chose not to test the boxes that other room.
See:
Just as soon, I will be starting an acoustic treatment in the current room I showed the pictures,
Forte abraço,
Renato

Thanks Renato!
I can now sleep in peace knowing that you will get the best out of your beautiful speakers. ;-)

Dears,
I'm not fluent in English, although to read without any problem.
I'll try to post everything about this lovely little toy, one 3-way speaker and high sensibility.
First, picture on my modest system.
Hope you enjoy!
Tks,
Renato
Renato,
What's the sensitivity of these beautiful speakers? Do you think a 40W/ch, SET amp would have sufficient power to drive these beauties loudly enough in a 15.5 ft. W x 12.5 ft. D x 8 ft. to 10 ft. H sloped ceiling room?
TIA

Renato,
Should you need another pair of PHL drivers, please let me know.
I look forward to measured results (although I tend to favor my ears).
Cheers!

Hi,
Has approximately 97dBs sensitivity
With 30W was very good in a greater than your space ... so I believe that should be enough ...
In his place I would consider a two-way with woofer and driver due to the simplicity and power loss due to the large inductors in a 3-way .
Also the proper impedance curve that can be important for a good reproduction with valve .
Tks,
Renato
Renato I'd really like to build speakers identical to yours ---{especially after listening to your video}---- so can you share cabinet dimensions, XO's used etc?
