Hello audio lovers,
I am Martin, a french raised german freshly moved to Portugal (if that makes any sense).
I have a furniture design background and love to DIY anything (electric repairs, woodwork, simple electronic...).
My interest is around speakers (something quite new) and a little bit for amps.
I mainly listen to jazz, 70's funk / Jazz funk & soul music, preferably on vinyl. With age, leaning more towards Jazz (Clifford Brown, Dizzie Gillespie, Max Roach, Gil Evans...) we enjoy listening to with my wife.
Our system as of now is an old Revox 750 B amp and KEF Q300 bookshelf speakers (with a moded crossover and damping).
Vinyl TT is a simple Audiotechnica with a nice eliptic Jico stylus on a Shure VM 2 head.
My next project would be to build a folded Voigt pipe transmission line pair of speakers with a simple fullrange driver (Visation B100 or Fostex or Markaudio Pluvia).
My KEFs are quite pleasant but they really lack some good bass.
I started fiddling around with Hornresp so I am about to post some questions soon to get some help!
Please be indulgent as I am really not a sound engineer nor an electronics expert!
🙂
Cheers, M.

Welcome, Hello,
I am a fan of fullrange drivers.
I can recommend Sica12d or Fane 12-250tc fullranges in low tuned reflex boxes (around 20 to 35 hz) and corner placed.
A speciality from me is putting diy aluminium foil on them. Watch my thread "how to make a loudspeaker sandwich cone"
here a foto of my first aluminized Fostex Fe208 sigma in Mauhorn 5. Did the alu paper alu sandwich in the year 2000.
