Fantastic job.

Great documentation on the construction but how do they sound? As beautiful as they look?

They look better than the real thing. I'd bet they sound better, too.

Thanks guys for the response! I am also pleased with the results. It's one thing drawing on the computer... One can never know if the real deal would be good looking or in proportions.
About the sound... Well as always this nextel drivers are just wonderful, not too harsh not too soft, very musical and honest, especially with voices . Some times it is as if they are enjoying making music... Maybe vividness is the word. Anyway thanks again for the kind words, it was a bitch to build!

Not a bad choice to pick a Troels design for your project! A beautiful result!
I can relate to the work involved 😀.

(At that time I didn't even know about the Magico, finding them during the project made me go with an alu baffle, simpler in shape though)

Thanks! I just had a look at your project, this is absolutely awesome on the verge of insane!!
Still reading my way through it

Done an excellent job on this build.



How did you end up finishing the stacked plywood? It looks like it was clear sprayed in one of the photos but then looks a bit darker in other photos like it was stained.

 

[noamgeller]

Thanks! I applied 3 coats of clear lack. It is true thou that it is often seems darker
