Although I have a good headphone system, It's not easy to tell how good a speakers Is through a recording, but compared to other stuff I've heard they sound very nice. Dynamic, full of energy and life (I hate bland or dull speakers) - good job Bas.

Ideally, You just need to get some measurements done to see If any tweaking to the crossover can Improve the sound. Or have you already done some measurements?

That would be ideal. But I have zero crossover tweaking experience...and/or measurement. That is the main reason I'm building the 18sound design exactly as designed.

- good job Bas
Thanks...but I cannot take credit for an 18sound project :)
 
On my kid's system...chromecast audio and standard lm3886 gainclone: bleeding ears.
I should revise this. Not so much bleeding ears as there was just too much of it. Probably because the gainclone is more "honest" when it comes to the higher frequencies that are there.

I added a 1ohm resistor in front of the highs....and now it sounds much much better on the gainclone. Still to be tested on the valve amp.
 
Progress...and a question. Would it be possible for the port to exend to the outside? We got ports cut in wood because that would look better. But the angles prevent it from going full length. So now we thought...wat if we go 2cm outside?
