Ahoy,
I like the idea of building a nice thin floor-standing speaker with a single EL70 and I am wondering if anyone has impressions of the Wooden Design Derwent, and any of the P10 designs (Floorstander Mar-Kel70, Microtower single driver)? All of them have nice simple designs as far as build goes. I could not find any builds of the Floorstander Mar-Kel70.
Thanks!
Kyle

You are only the 3rd or 4th person to see the plans so far...

... the trapezoid floorstander.
I should mention that this is the same floorstander, but with a sloped front so that the filled cavity on the bottom is not needed to get the drivers firing in the vicinity of your head.

Converted from the Mar-Kel in the same way that the Fonken FS Mk2 was.
Bernie has wood cut for the trapezoid floorstander.
dave
Oh, so a simmilar tuning and performance to the Mar-Kel? Excellent!

Cool, I am going to start a build soon. Are there any parts I should leave exposed or accessible before I seal it up if there's any bad habits that need fixing?
KM
Hi Kyle,
Any progress on your built, I also purchased a pair of EL70En so I've received the planset. I really like the Floorstander Mar-Kel70T, this is the one with a slight slope and no cavity at the bottom.
Please keep us posted, so many design it's hard to choose the right one
Rgds,
Eric
Hi Eric - The pair I am building are nearly ready to seal up. I'll post some photos on Saturday. I built the non-sloped version. I did a quick listen last night and they sounded good!
KM
You seem to know about the sound of the Mar-Kel70 1v1.1
Please tell us the sound difference between the Mar-Kel70 1v1.1 vs the Floorstander Mar-Kel70 0v91 you just built.
Thanks a lot, you probably built the first Mar-Kel70 floorstander.
Rgds,
Eric
