Frugel-Horn Mk3

[chrisb]

anything particularly personal in the choice of sheets, or just random?

I’ve just finished these after many hours or tweaking.
12mm ply and Alpair 7.3s.
They sound amazing.

A noteworthy build you have there 😀

It's to keep the music in!!

 

[Rodintheglens]

Nothing personal and no hidden message in the choice of music.
There was a big box of old sheet music in a local charity shop, 20 pence a book...

Hello Rod,

Nice pair just goes to show that you don't have to use veneer to make something look good. Watching the BBC 'money for nothing' programme I see a lady in Brighton who does similar stuff and a guy in south London who creates geometric designs and gets them printed on to fabric as well as paper.

I've had my FH3's for about 7 years now and they've just taken a leap forward after building Mick Feuerbacher's two resistor 3886 amp.

Best single driver speakers since sliced bread 🙂

Cheers

Hey Jim, I liked your blog and the mimimalist way you achieve what you do, great stuff!

 

[jemraid]

Thanks Stuey,

Nice of you to comment.

My little set up continues to amaze me, yesterday Tangerine Dreams 'Rubycon' CD arrived. I'm a long time fan used to go to their concerts when they came over here. And wow listening to it again after so many years I realise how far ahead those three guys are, even more so now. So many other people jumped on their band wagon and failed to get anywhere near them.

Cheers

Chris can I hear cabinet resonance if I don’t back champher the baffle ?

 

[planet10]

Not cabinet resonance per-say but early reflections coming off the bit that should have been removed.

Hi Dave was just wondering if you or Scott have modeled a twin studio monitor for the chr70,s. I know there not your favs but I have 2pr I was looking to find a home for. I recall Scott doing the A7 model a few years ago that got some good reviews in studio.
Thanks Paul

 

[planet10]

Probably.

I’ll look.

[CraigSu]

At roughly 680mm tall it’s probably stretching your definition of studio monitor, but Dave’s Twin CHR-Ken70 might fit the bill.

 

[planet10]

There is the Twin CHR-Ken, Lotus, a Woden ML-TL, and the microTower.

Easy enuff to take a bass reflex and “double” it.

Ok thanks Dave

Hello again! 🙂

My speakers are starting to look like speakers! I'm about to fill them with fluff, but the description of how much in each "zone" is not that obvious to me.

I have a Alpair 7, so "blue + orange + 20-40g". It says 30g in the PDF. Does that apply to each of the "green" and "orange" polyfluff zones?
Which would mean I have 30g + 30g+ (20-30)g? Or is it 15g + 15g + (20-30)g?

Best regards,
Fredrik 🙂

 

[planet10]

You put 30 g in th epoint regardless. Then between 9 and 40g under the driver (depending on the driver). With A7 start with 20g or so. The amount also helps you deal with room, room placement, and taste too.

Just about to start building the FH3 Mk3 with the 7MS drivers. How much stuffing should I use? Can I use stuffing recommendations where the plans show Alpair 7? Thank you.

 

[planet10]

You’ll likely be the 1st. I have a set awiating drivers, i am going to start with the stuffing we used for the A7.3

Thanks Dave, I will start with that and modify to suit my room.
