Images of my speakerprojects

[Stefan B]

Lets start this photosesion with AKKELIS, my ProAc klones.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

And then we can continue with GALTIS, my own construction using VIfa XT25, Scanspeak 18w/8545 and Scanspeak 18w/8535

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

And to end this photosesion with a "familypicture" of AKKELIS, GALTIS and the drivers and filtercomponents to REBNIS, my next project. REBNIS will be a standmount speaker usins SEAS drivers.

They look great.

What are the veneers? Is that sycamore on the "Galtis"?

Nice work!

... but OT,
How do you post 3 pictures in one post? I didn't think it was possible.

You can post up to around 20 images with a post, if they are hosted off this website on the web somewhere. You just have to use image tags, instead of attaching the image to the file, which you are restricted to only 1.

GALTIS, anwsers to some questions

Thanks for all the kind word. I will try to answer some questions. The veneer on GALTIS is American cherry. GALTIS is a 3-way speaker and the tweeter and mid driver are playing in a sealed enclosure, the bass driver is playing in a reflexloaded enclosure. The angle off the speaker is 7 degrees. No I am not a pro but I really enjoy building speakers. AKKELIS is my first speaker, GALTIS my second. I have also helped a friend building a pair off AKKELIS.

Some links. Lets start with my Hifi pages:

Finaly, this is where GALTIS is playing, my livingroom.

And the million dollar question of the day is... which one sounds better?

I'd take either one just on looks alone. Very elegant.

Cheers

 

[jleaman]

id like to build these but need this in english.

 

[kneadle]

These look great. But I couldn't help but notice the Gibson guitar...

I'd have to say that "elegant" is the right word for the whole room--speakers, big mask, guitar.

Stefan B - nice DIY-pages

Nice speakers and

a guide to venering (fanera):
in swedish, but lots of pictures (in universal language)
http://w1.311.telia.com/~u31119548/Fanera/fanera.htm

I see you use some bandwidth from a "BRF" (bostadsrättsförening)
for the GALTIS-pages!
Probably it was the other way around.
The BRF was on your pages?

I have put your pages into my DIY-favourites

/halo - has no BRF-pages 😀

 

[porfi4ever]

Need more pics.!!!!!!!!!

I' m out of luck, these are the pics. I was waiting for long long time, but you don't show how you do the driver's holes. I need to know because a subwoofer that I built a long time a go is waiting for veenering, I made a mistake to round all the edges, then now I don't how to start if you have more inputs I'll be glad and🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 thanks in advance.Rommel

I notice the metal nameplate at the front-bottom of the speaker. I want that! Anyone know where to get it in Canada? Or anywhere else? How did you get yours?

Not sure if this will help, or if they're in Canada, but try checking out a store called Things Remebered. They do engravings. I don't know if they do just nameplates, but they're a good start. Another thought would be look for a trophy place and see if they'll sell you just a little nameplate, engraved. Those are some thoughts off the top of my head.

This may not help, but I remember seeing an article on how to make your own plates by etching brasss or something like that. I've seen several articles in different woodworking magazines. I don't remember which ones though.
