I constructed my best DIY high end Speakers using multiple constrained layer damping to build a woofer enclosure that is far superior, a audio muffler design for the midrange and unique dipole multi position tweeter. The speakers have a unique vintage but modern design and can be converted in a compact version with amazing sound.
very flat frequency response, amazing. I watched a video about the assembly process, it took so much effort, it's impressive
Is there a way to find out what you built without having to view a long YT video or two?
Watxhed the videos in full last night. Incredible skills you have. Would love to hear them.
What is the B&W driver?

Worth a clap! Especially considering you pulled it off by yourself ! I sure it must be sastisfying to listen those playing music, Frequency curve is flat like a scale.

Indeed , wrapping that ply and glueing and pinning it on single handed look a right royal PITA! Would love to know what flat to 20Hz sounds like!
Yeah nice construction! Lots of hard work, enjoy the results!
Although I've gotta mention about the measurements they seem to be in-room(?) and not (quasi)anechoic, meaning the measurement is flat at the mic position only and flat is probably on the bright side. As the flatness is relative to the graph scale and if it sounds good then it is good!🙂 I see no reason the physical construct wouldn't allow very good sound.

Nice work!
But I must comment about measurements shown in videos. Obviously they were done as shown in the vid - inroom with mic on stand and (hopefully) one speaker at the time, gating default 500ms. Response may look flattish, but scale is very wide, actually midrange is 5dB down! Variable smoothing makes response "too smooth" in treble. Waterfall has different scale and smoothing!
I would like to read about crossover settings and see response of individual drivers!

Same question from me 🙂 Because I tried all the videos and searched through google... and I can find nothing about drivers, cabinet volume or the reason for the choice of drivers - philosophy behind the sound. Oh... off-axis would be awesome.. but I we cant have it all - right 😀😉
Great build though 👍
It's a "Continuum cone, FST surround 5" inch mid from B&W from the looks of it, LF26735 (from the 804)/ LF27170 from the 704 or similar.
Likely not a 'D4" model with the proprietary spiders, as those are still hard to get hold of.
Above it a Raal 140-15D without the foam pads.
And in the bottom i'd guess a scan speak woofer just from the looks of it.
