Some kind person gave me a pair of Quad988 speakers a few months ago( I had to drive a few hundred miles to collect them). They are now my destination speakers, and hence, I am offering, for free, pick up only, these open baffle projects that got me hooked. No crossovers, I used minidisp.
1. 8”high qts PE buy out woofers and Fountek 2” aluminum full range driver. Mounted in solid cherry OB frames.
2. 6-1/2” PE buy out woofers mounted on a quite complex cherry baffle. Built to be used with 26” Apogee ribbon. Includes rear mounted floor brackets. I sold the Apogee Centaurs from which the ribbons came. Sounds great, if you like open baffle. I put a lot of hours into making these.
3. 4 way open baffle speakers with Dayton N16 tweeter, 3” tang band bamboo full range mid, the same 8” woofer as above, and two 10” GRS subwoofers in a W frame arrangement. This pair was great fun. 3/4” mdf. With baffle covers.
I live 100 miles from anywhere, Andrews NC, but if you are visiting the Smoky Mountains anytime soon, they are on my doorstep.
cheers,
Peter

What an incredible offer.
I would love to have picked up pic. 3+4.
Unfortunately I seem to live in the wrong country 😎

I've seen some of your posts in the past about these speakers, and always admired your work. For some reason I'd formed the idea that you're in the UK, like me. So I got excited for a minute there! But then I read to the end of your post. Oh well! Someone will be lucky! And it looks like you're in a beautiful part of the world.
Thanks for the positive ccomment. Yes it is beautiful here, but age related issues contributes to a move in the near future, probably closper to your, and mine, homeland.
That’s one of the reasons for the “sale”.

If they aren’t gone in a couple of weeks, I’ll strip the drivers out and put them on the ubiquitous auction site and junk the woodwork.
