Hello,
I am new to the forum, and I thank many of you for teaching me a lot already through past discussions. I am attempting to build the microFonkens (thank you Dave for kindly supplying the plans!) with the FF85 K drivers.
I plan to use these as a computer/nearfield set up at my desk at work. They will come reasonably close to the hard drive on my iMac, and will be paired with an inexpensive T amp(Sonic Impact Gen 2) at least to start. I had a few questions.. hoping for some help.
1. Do I need to worry too much about my computer hard drive with the unshielded FF85K?
2. Any recommendations for mounting the drivers to the cabinet? Do I need to use some sort of tape/sealant/foam?
3. I am using baltic birch plywood 1/2 inch, and my woodworking skills are pretty rudimentary. I plan on painting the speakers some version of black to hide my mistakes. Any suggestions for an easy black finish, preferably with non-toxic or low toxicity paint?
Thanks for your help! I will add photos and listening impressions when done.
