Absolutely gorgeous! The best audio-photo I've seen in a long time.

PS: The new CHPs in a .25cf PE box that Dave graciously advised me on are coming. During my last woodshop class on Saturday I just learned how create a template and use a router so that the drivers will mount flush! ...its starting to get real fun.....

with TB W3-595

didn't realize small cabinets are much easier to build... Planet10 suggested the dimensions, and I use them as PC speakers with mainly near field listening. Unlike most of the drivers seen here, these are relatively cheap.

For their purpose with limited driver excursion sound very good. At high volume driven by t-amp clone, cones breakup, but to be expected. Good cabinet for the driver as PC speakers.

more details of the build here: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/full-range/190238-fonken-variant-tb-w3-593sf.html

Holy cow do I want those green ones!!!!

Take a bit to talk me out of those :) But anything is possible.

Not clear in the picture above is that these have corian tops. The top was choosen to compliment the "blue" stain. When blue turned to green (not the 1st time i've had that happen to me), i made drivers to suit.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

*I have closeups of most of the other boxes too

I like the brown cabinets and drivers that are on top of the other blue'ish/green cabinets too.

uFonken in macassar ebony (correct me Chris if i have mangled the spelling). The veneer was 'gifted" to us and would qualify as exotic.

This particular pair of boxes have set more than a few people on their butts with open mouths.

Bernie gets full credits for the beautiful woodwork..

I knew you were going to ask that :D

Now that i've broken thru the 2nd one, the others should fall quickly. Chris said he isn't going to build any rectangular ones anymore.

With a few changes A10.2 will fit into Mar-Ken12 enclosure. We are working on converting a surplus Mar-Ken12T box to fit a pair of EL70eN.
