Open Source Monkey Box

Wired up a cd player and an old amp (hyped ucd) today for a first listen. First without the port pipes installed, then with them, but not having cut them to size yet. Speakers in the same position as in the picture above. Tweeter Rt2 is 1.0R.

Mids and highs very coherent. I had heard that tweeter before at a show, in the Serhan Swift mµ2 Mk II. That speaker put the tweeter on a pedestal and it sounded very impressive, but I was wondering how I would cope with that long term. The OSMC seems to emphasise integration and the tweeter is less obvious, even at 1.0R.

I will have to wait for the burn in to finish and for the speakers to be placed correctly with the correct ports installed to be sure, but it sounded like there was a peak somewhere in woofer territory. Maybe I will need more stuffing/damping. Unfortunately I don’t have measurement equipment so I will have to work something out.
