I had some problems to place my lancettas in the room. The only possible area for the right speaker was kind of behind the fireplace (image). In that position the bass were totally put out when the speakers played in phase. If playing off phase the bass were there but the higher frequencies sounded strange. Then, after walking around in the room with the speakers without finding any good spots, I looked upp in the ceiling and decided to try that position. I mounted them temporary like this.
The result was fantastic and I decided to put them there permanently.
Now the only obstacle was to persuade my girlfriend to hang up the speakers in the ceiling. I knew there was no idea just asking her if I could put them there so I decided a different approach. I suggested a nice baldachin with some spotlights to light up her paintings on the wall. She liked the idea alot and even after I mumbling something about maybe put some small speakers in it she was on
This is the result.
Yes I know I promised her spotlights but there will be time for that later on
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Hi h@kan,
i think you should keep your promise as soon as possible,
because nobody likes to be kidded ...
But i see the intergration of the speakers is very felicitous.
Looks good, and as you said, it was the best place for listening
too.
I just wonder a bit, why you did not tilt your fullrangers
downwards a little, to get some more brillance at the
listening position.
Cheers

are the bulgarian the best woodworkers ?
Superb gallery !
Seeing your work, I was wondering if there is a tradition of craftmanship in the field of audio in Bulgaria ?!
Indeed I remember various posts of bulgarian builders, particulary the one using ETHER drivers and all there enclosures were beautifully crafted.
Anyway congratulation for your work, that I suppose sound very good !

My father asked for some small speakers for his office/retreat so he can hole up and listen to some tunes in there.
Thanks to Godzilla who keeps the plans for these little BRs on his website. Some scrap birch plywood, oak veneer and some old 40-1197 drivers and I'm done.
They sound real nice for the small amount of work they represent.
Happy Holidays!

I tried to post this on the BAF thread -- sometimes the pix don't come up --
This is a Metronome which we used as a demo for a trade show as an example of a large, somewhat complex cuboid which could be powder-coated -- we made 4 of them and they sit in the offices -- the point was the complex CNC cuts and the even and smooth finish -- certainly not the sound in a physical space larger than an aircraft carrier -- in the office environment they sound wonderful:

There is a Metronome project on DIYAUDIO -- it's Steve and Dave's project -- I'm not in the business of building speaker cabinets. We figured that a speaker would attract more traffic at the trade show than a bedpan, and a year ago started up a conversation with a couple of folks on this thread:

first project complete planet-10 FR125s aperiodic
So one year after i thought about building a single driver speaker, i finally knuckled down and completed my first simple project.
Thanks to Planet-10 for the plans and this forum for plenty to read.
These guys are going to be great for picnics.
I fell asleep listening to these the other day, what an odd experience.
I can see why people get addicted to full ranger speakers.
I've got them running off a Sure electronics tri-path amp from a 12V 7.5ah AGM battery.
Next, i have 5 pairs of Apple pro speakers with the Foster drivers......Any idea's
what to do with 5 pairs of these?
