Goodmans Dimension 8 Speakers.

[vishalk]

Few bits done today, midrange enclosure was sound deadened, new connectors and cables installed, used muslin cloth and wool for the speaker wadding.

 

[Galu]

Significant improvements with respect to the midrange enclosure and the re-capped crossover looks really neat! This has got to sound good!

 

[vishalk]

Just redoing the veneer where it was damaged along the edges.

Enclosure have now been filled, sanded and ready for painting.

 

[vishalk]

Sanded and cleaned



Primer applied



Two coats of copper colour paint

 

[vishalk]

A satin varnish applied, all dry and looking superb.

 

[vishalk]

New foam seal applied and better bolts

 

[vishalk]

First set finished, better then when it left the factory I reckon!

 

[Galu]

I reckon so! Coming together beautifully. I like the copper finish.

 

[vishalk]

Ebony speaker spikes with brass tips arrive, feel and look lovely

 

[Galu]

No one can say that this renovation is 'pointless'!

 

[vishalk]

inside cabinet

Decided best to seal it all, so went in every edge and corner and applied silicone seal can never be to sure of gaps or air leaks

 

[Galu]

You have my 'seal' of approval!

 

[vishalk]

Hahaha good one! Getting closer to Christmas so hopefully will have more time to finish this. Just waiting on bottom base/plinth to be made. Ready to paint actually so hopefully this week!

 

[Galu]

Ho ho ho! Keep the festive pictures coming. They're preferable to watching the Christmas repeats on the telly!

You might want to reduce the resolution of your pictures before posting. They come up very large and reduce in size once clicked on.



I,ll be very interested to see how they sound once you get to that stage.

+1...you could throw quite the audio party with the bunch of us who want to hear these things.

 

[vishalk]

Best I can do is some REW test results and some videos of them singing for you guys abroad!

 

[vishalk]

Bottom base will be made from MDF two 25mm thick pieces stuck together to make the original height of 50mm. Cut out and holes drilled for speaker posts.

I just take the picture and upload straight on here from my phone! Funny as its the opposite to me, pics are small but when I click on them they go large. Nice in high resolution you get to see a clear big picture if what's going on.

Plane fare is only about $1000 so I'll buy a lottery ticket and hope for the best - of course I'd have to allow the spouse to ride along so two tickets...wish me luck!
