Vriendelijke groeten uit Eindhoven

[Peter69]

Hi all,

Mij name is Peter and I live in Helmond near Eindhoven, the Netherlands. At home I'm running Sphinx amplifiers on home made loudspeakers. I really like the Sphinx Project 14 power-amp, you can really feel the current going through the MOSFET's 😉
After some time I'm picking up on the hobby again, and just found this forum! Which seems a great treasure of audio/technical know-how. Looking forward to build on some idea's in the coming period.

Greetings!
Peter

Hi Peter69

Welkom by DIYaudio. Jy sal dit hier geniet. Vertel ons 'n bietjie van jou tuisgeboude luidsprekers.

Can a mod please change the title of this thread to 'Vriendelijke..." .
Als het dan toch in het Nederlands moet, dan ook maar meteen goed 😉

Welkom Peter!

Welcome to the forums Peter69.

To Shaun and janneman, please remember this is an English speaking forum so if you wish to post in another language, remember to include the translation as well. Thank you.

 

[Peter69]

Thanks guys for the welcome!

I was a bit suprised when I found out that I could not change my own topic, after seeing the typo in "Vriendelijke..." But hey, at least it was understood, even in Vaals 😉

At the moment I'm having rather simple speakers. These are floorstanding d'appolito config. It's a closed cabinet of only 7.5 litres. That's because their triangle shaped, standing on the summit. yeah, I know impossible to understand... I'll make a picture of them this weekend. (You know... pictures... 1000 words... those kinds of things 🙂 )

At least they sound very nice, very good positioning and neutral over the spectrum. Because of the small size I do run them with a sub... but I really need something new.
Thinking about a decent TL, but still looking for a good design. So if you have any good proposals...

Vriendelijke groeten,
Peter

That was Afrikaans for: Welcome to DIYaudio. You will enjoy (your time) here. Please tell us a bit about your home-built loudspeakers.

Thank you Shaun.

Is that slang for Afrikaans? (Sorry if that went over my head! )

The revised Thor seems a nice TL (search Short Thor, Fat Thor, etc.)

Vaals is very close to where I live, in the NL south. We pride ourselves to have the Netherlands' highest mountain. All of 392 meters. That's over a kilo-foot! 😀

Vaals.... Cape town... what's the difference 🙂 😉

Here a picture from my low-volume beauty. It's 80cm high, 16cm wide and 20cm deep (what's that in kilofeet? 🙂 )

[Shaun]

Hmmm... very elegant!

 

[Peter69]

Thanks Shaun, I must admit I like them also for their style, but I am missing something that displaces a bit more air 🙂
The Thor design does indeed look very nice, specially because it is next to a TL also a d'appolito config.

Hi Peter!

Welcome here on DIYaudio.

I used to live in Eindhoven a few years ago, and had a really great time there. You live in a nice region 😉

Helmond, ahhh! My first ex was from Helmond. Funny lot, those Helmonders. If they wouldn't like you they would stick a knife in your back, and then the police would arrest you for unlawfull possession of a weapon... 😉

Sorry for the OT...

There was one man called Wim in Nedcar who used to shout about getting rid of the Brits.

He never thought that we were there because we could be easily finished when there was little work, so he wouldn't be. He was finished in the end because he attacked his line boss after he was told he must work over Carnaval.

Other than Wim I have nothing but happy memories of Limburg and everyone in it. I had a lump in my throat when I had to leave.

Tot ziens
John
