Gilles Karlson-coupler for Visaton BG20 is a nice build and should have very good sound and impact, maximizing that driver's strengths

I like these, a thinner unit with the driver rotated 90 degrees would be interesting to see...
I also made the Jordan TL speakers with solid oak. I finished them with Danish Oil (2 coats) and then used wax polish when dry. My speakers are on an oak floor and are reasonably stable.
a bit vintage
ive looked through lots o pages of more full range speakers than i knew existed
heres is my little vintage collection 🙂

FA22RCZ MLTL design
Superlian, Where could I get a copy of Bob's design please? These look very interesting.
I've been running the Seas 60L sealed design for the FA22RCZ drivers from a iPod120GB losses encoding, Sonic Impact T-Amp from a small motorcycle battery.
thanks

Here's my take on the Ikea salad bowl speakers
The drivers are Tang Band W3-871S and the salad bowls are the 20cm size ones from Ikea.
This is my notch filter to stops the harsh top end. I built the notch filter after viewing this site Listening Impressions and Notch Filter for the W3-871S Fullrange Monitors
The speaker base. Made from a piece of ash, with 20mm holes drilled in it and 3 x 32mm wooden balls secured in with screws from underneath.
The plywood ring was stuck to the from half of the speaker housing with Sikaflex and the a sticky back foam was stuck to the front side. The long piece of threaded bar is the passed through a hole in the bottom of the rear part of the speaker and compressed against the foam seal by tightening a nut onto it.
The finished product.
The only downside of these full range speakers is the lack the low end base, due to only having a 3 inch driver, but the sound quality of these speakers attached to my LM3875 Gainclone chip amp is very good and I am very satisfying with them.

Hi portreathbeach
Congrats ...what a piece of art. Simple and beautiful, i like it ;-)
I've done the same, three years ago, but with Fostex fullrange units.

Okay with a sub, but poor as standalone.
Mine were done as bass reflex, with a rear port 8 cm x 5 cm.
I don't have pictures of those i've made ( sold last year ), but they were very much like meil's creation. See more in following link.

I really like the Marble sphere speakers produced by 'cube' on the link. Must have taken ages carving them out!
Heja Sverige
Nice footwork, Magnus !

glad it wasnt just me 🙂 the drivers are just some cheap full range units so they look better than they sound
was interested in the port size info cos they sound restricted when ya turn them up . and i used a similar idea for
stands , but with the 3 wooden balls joined by 2 peices of chromed rod rather than on a plinth
