MarkAudio CHR-70 in Woden Lotus

[tkemp86]

Hey guys,

Just finished up a pair of Lotus double mouth horns loaded with MA CHR-70 drivers. Initial impressions are very good. They still need many hours of break in, so I’m holding judgement for now.

Mainly posting this because I know I had trouble finding good phots of these towers complete (with size references) when I was first considering this build. They are my second build. My main stereo pair(s) are B&W N805s and Zaph ZRT Revelators (first build).

And it’s downright spooky how a pair of ~$40 drivers in large well designed horns can run with “higher end” multiway speakers.

Anyway, just some click bait for you guys I guess. Carry on.

Tanner,

Nice build, congratulations! I like the contrast between the veneers you've used for the baffle and overall cabinet.

These are first generation CHR-70s you have got there?

 

[tkemp86]

Thanks! And they are the Gen 3 CHR-70s.

Walnut and oak... can’t go wrong there.

Yes, very handsome build. Thanks for posting.

The driver looks very silver, is that just the lighting?

Hey Tanner,

Now that you've made those lovely cabs, you should make a matching stand for you components.

Thanks again guys! And yes the lighting is a bit wierd and my iPad camera isn’t the best. And that’s next on the build list, VinylKid! A matching audio rack with a built in sub.

You might want to rethink building a sub into same cabinet as any of the electronics, and depending on the room co-locating with the mains is not always the best acoustic solution.

Nicely done... attractive build. ... and I see a number of nice racks in the pics.
