Sounds like your a CW fan too. Pick up an Alison Krauss CD and it'll bring tears to your eyes.
Alison Krauss is CW?

Dave,
You have another Fan to add to the club!
Let's have a big welcome for our newest member, 2Sooners !
Band members play, a 5 string banjo, stand up bass (often plucked), and
a Dobro among others.
She plays a fiddle not a violin. 🙂
Before she made that album with Robert Plant, she sung about lost love, dogs and drinkin'...

OK,
Bluegrass it is, agreed, better definition.
She sounds good to me, I'm not that fond of the album she made with Robert Plant though, it's OK, but I like her older songs better. The one I DO like is the 1st one with the way the music sorta "sloshes" back and forth between the stereo channels...............Very cool effect.

The Plant album was definitely over-rated IMHO... the stuff she does on the Brother Where Art Thou are some of my favorites.

OK since we are off ~temporariliy on source.... I found what I had been digging for.
For those who can come up with it. The most in your den,in you face source CD song i can find is a little duet between Ricky Skaggs and Natalie Maines. "Walk Softly" The 2 sooners aka Jake and Buddy beagles had to sing along. I'll post a pic of Jake posing as the RCA Victor dog with the new thor. What a shot!
FWIW work is underway on the bases. What i have now sucks.
Celtic Women also do some interesting work. Anyone else got a extra clean well performed / recorded favorite? Test the Thor's! BTW "Sounds From the Ground" will
shake the furniture. Short Thor is a bumper!

I'm more of a prog rock buff. King Crimson's Lizard album really shows these off- lots of horns and super smooth sax riffs, stunning precise drumming and Robert Fripp on guitar. Can't ask for much more.
I got more pics for the curious. From boards to boxes to caps to wires to drivers. The headaches, the helpers, and the joy. This has been a blast and worth every minute and dollar spent. Let me know. Make my day.
Those look good... a bit out from that cupboard would probaly help things thou.
Post your pictures please.
dave
Post your pictures please.
dave
Yes Dave, it does. These are new to my home. Right now they go where the old ones lived. At this point i am tired and i wil sit on my butt and drink a cold one. When I finish
cleaning the mess in the garage and make up with my wife, then maybe time to resort the furniture......
Anyhow heres a shot or two.
This is the hospital where they were born.

Here are 3 cabinet build up shots. Note the quarter round bracing to the sides and the thread to support the loose pack fiber. The drivers are temporarily installed for electrical/operational testing.

Well here ya go. Be gentle.
Look much too nice to be DIY -- and where's the beer bottle which seems to be de rigueur in DIY photos?
Those look fantastic. I love the cherry. Always interesting to see how others handled the building challenges too.
All Cherry, now that's cherry.
Looks good and I'll bet a "lunch at a drive up window" that they really dig deep and loud.
Couple of questions though,
Why did you make the sides overlap the baffle? and is there any way to update the Xovers in the future?
Not a dig, just wondering.
I love the color of 'em.
They'll sound better after about 80 hours too. You'll notice the difference!

Ron,
It had to do with the width of the lumber. I had 4 peices that i could get
7-1/2". Each of them were exceptional quality. After screwing and glueing
I doubt it made much performance difference. FWIW i like the looks better as well. You know what the sound is like.
The xovers can be dug out from the bottom. Unless they fail they wil never be seen by me again. I would have to take the bases off and unless i rent a crane i ain't gonna pick these up no more. They weigh 92 lbs each.
Enough rattle .. now more shots.
