So if you don't use a subwoofer what do you use for movies and classical music or pipe organ? I was wondering if you found a new way to get (LF) with out a sub woofer? Mr. Jeff
thanks Steven!
I'm impressed, you should be a detective! Those are some Microtowers I picked up on a whim.
I built a pair too, some time last year; so I recognized the profile of the base and the "legs".
These are the old EPI microtowers
Wow... didn't know that 21st century edition was faithful to the original to that level of detail. Looks like Dave and ChrisB did a thorough job!
Hyuk, hyuk, hyuk. Chortle. Snivel (etc.).
Yes, we can't forget Scott's part. Not much design work on our part (that was mostly done by Winslow Burhoe in the early 70s), Scott figured out the terminus sizes to make the drivers work in the box.

Vaughn,
You and the other builders are most welcome. They are quite some performers in so small a cabinet. Glad you like them. They will improve leaps and bounds when the drivers are run in and have some rear wall or corner loading boundary that will reinforce the bass. Must say though they do look rather respendant in the curly Maple veneer nice job.
I still haven't got my second speaker covered yet, been too busy with other domestic chores and having to commute to work again after a period of semi-retirement. I have also decided to beef up the pedestals on the stands and make the centre hollow so I can mount the binding posts on the rear of the pedestal near the base and feed the cables up the centre. Should neaten things uo some.
may I ask if you have stained/dyed the paper cones? And if so what di you use? I have considered changing the colour of the cones on mine to black and have been meaning to ask Mark how best to do this.

Dave,
The cones on my A12P drivers from the original production batch are a light blue/grey colour paper. The drivers in that Vaughn has assuming they are A12P gen2 in his photo appear to be a cream in colour on my laptop. So I naturally asumed they had been coloured. I thought all were the same light blue paper in colour?

that's just gotta be a combination of reflection from the glossy table top, wood veneer on the boxes, paneling of walls and time of day color of light itself - they say the "camera doesn't lie", but it can sure be fooled into recording things that our eyes/brain automatically compensate for in real time
