SEAS Odin MkIII A Dream Comes True - 2007 after 15 years back in my living room

[Hondasnl]

Yesterday I sold succesfully the overhauled Basis '95 - 2023 to a happy new owner in Helmond.

At the moment I'm playing again (after 15 years, {bought back} for a fraction) with my old self made Odin's MkIII built in 2007 (sold in 2008) 😍.
First project ever built good DIY speaker.
Very nice!

The story:
The new owner from 2008 contacted me about 2 months ago and told me that he wants to sell my speakers after 15 years listening music with pleasure.
He asked me some advice for a good description for his advertisement text on the internet.
But I was thinking....... this is unique......I like to have them back in my house / listening room....... full of good memmories with this speaker!
We make a deal and now they are back here in my living room again and still playing as good as in 2007.😍😍

italian racing bikes are the most beautifull racing bikes

Good story and build! In addition to the bikes, a clean-looking CRX, too.

Nice story.

How would you describe the listening difference with the fresh sold Vifa's loudspeaker and the brandnewback (has this word a sense?) MTM Thor (aka : two hammers for a ligthning) ?

 

[Hondasnl]

The Odins have a very very nice deep and fast tight bass. Details highs conform specs.

🙂 ... IIRC, was developped by D'appolito himself !
how would you compare each soundstage, as you freshly heard both ?

Sorry 😉

Nice spikes for these beauties after 16 years 😍 😍 😍 .
First concept.

 

[Hondasnl]

Some little modification in design.

 

[Hondasnl]

Again a modification.
Even though the speakers do not weigh that much. The spikes must be sturdy.

 

[Hondasnl]

Some little progress on the spikes.
I love the pure copper 😍 😍 .
Have to be preserved directly after polishing 😉.

 

[Hondasnl]

Due to some corrosion on 2 of the Excels I replaced all 4.
Also installed better terminals suitable for my cable.

Nice! 😍 😍 👍

 

[Hondasnl]

Some progress on the Spikes. 😍 😍

 

[Hondasnl]

Another step further, super tight! And robust. 😍 😍 😍 .

It's now on felt pads 😀.
