Mark Audio Alpair 10.3 Bookshelf Reflex Monitor

[classAfreak]

Hello dear DIY Forum members!

As a new member, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Gerd and I live on the southern, outer green belt of Cologne, near the Rhine.

How I found the DIY Audio Forum – through reports/articles about Mark Audio speakers.

What have I planned? And that would almost answer the question of where a decision-making aid would not be bad:

I intend to build a reflex shelf speaker with a Mark Audio Alpair 10. 3 with the sonic orientation of a monitor speaker which displays clean 48 - 50 Hz.

Thanks for the tips!

Kind regards Gerd

Welcome to diyAudio

I intend to build a reflex shelf speaker with a Mark Audio Alpair 10. 3 with the sonic orientation of a monitor speaker which displays clean 48 - 50 Hz.

Got the A10.3 yet, they are getting hard to find. Still a few MAOP 10s left.

Best to post this inquiry in the FR forum.

kjfaudio.com has both colors of A10.3 in stock according to the website.

Dave, not sure I understand - are you saying the Alpair 10.3 is getting hard to find?

Yes, it is NLA. Molds for the baskets are end of life.

I am guessing, given shuffles in nomenclature lately, that CHR/CHP-90 are very closely related to A10.3/p.

Leif (@LeifB60) certianly likes his CHP-90, and both get good reviews,

Yes Dave!
I am really surprised by the CHP-90. Very cheap compared to 10.2Maop.
They are not far behind 10.2Maop. Pleasant sound I must say.
I chose the Bluebuck box and I don't regret it.
I can imagine that they would fit in the miniOnken. With very good result.
I have 10.2Maop in the miniOnken but have tried them in a larger box like the Pencil with good results.
However, I prefer them in the miniOnken because they disappear in the soundscape. Magic.
