Hey Gents, I'm thinking about buying a pair of these and wondering which box I should build, the Amp I want to build to run them is the Joe R. transconductance current source amp(lm3875). Wondering what box would be best? Sealed? I really like the look of those Mini Onkens.
i heard them in 20l bass reflex and 60l transmission, both excellent.. i think with this driver it is impossible to miss
Hello everyone,
I would like to have your feedback on your experience with this speaker. I have tried several boxes and I am a little "disappointed" by some.

Which boxes? Also T/S parameter are different from drivers, example my MAOP10 have fs=35 Hz, qts=0.27, Vas=28
DDVP-15
TWTD-13.5
I think it's related to the box and it doesn't give the same perception of sound. I'm not saying they are poorly designed, it's just that the result to the ear is not the same. I have the impression that to have a better definition with the HBW-08 than with the chn-50P than the ddvp 15. it seems to be the bass trouble a bit the definition. the twtd 13.5 is more defined but there is not enough low frequencies

I've been listening to it with satisfaction in a CGR box for almost two years. I've started a few new projects with other Mark Audio drivers. One is already finished, for my son, in a CHN-110 Pactolus box. He listens to it with pleasure. I can report on the rest later.
The MAOP 10.2 CGR box is ready. I have never made a DIY speaker, I am satisfied with my two-way speakers. Curiosity brought me to it, I never had a full-range speaker. I've listened to full-range speakers a few times elsewhere. My impressions were mixed.
It was a big surprise when my new speakers started playing. I've been listening for about 50 hours and I really like the sound throughout the range. The bass is particularly surprising.
Thanks to Dave for the plans and advice.

try to measure frequency response, maybe you have problem with baffle step..driver by itself should be correct
My "Plans" for the Maops I have, are to build BiB cabinets or perhaps something similar in size/construction to a L3S/5a but with Current drive amp and Aperiodic loading. Have to look again at their T/S's and make up my mind. I've read great things about these Alpair 10s with BIBs
Hello Pierrick59
I have tried two boxes.
58 litre big MLTL and MiniOnken by planet10.
I like MiniOnken more. Clean sound. I am a audiophile.
I want mids and tweeter to be very good. And the bass must be dry and exact.
Maybe the bass will go deeper in a bigger box but I prefer the sound of a smaller box.

Gorgeous!
Very creative matching stands.
Stack of Kingrex and a pair of macMinins?

Which amplifier are you using? Try a different amp maybe? Also, how many hours did you run it? Let it humm for a week non-stop, then re-listen..
Impressions of which? Kingrex is a good OPAmp implementation, ACA is good, ACAmini i prefer a bit. I use FQA22 with them.
