    My Reference Grade 2-Way Active Loudspeakers

    Yep.... Now they sit in my music room and mostly get used when I am working from home as my work desk is in the loft connected to the open room where my drums and guitar gear are placed. They sound great in there, but I have to remember to release the snare beds on the snare drums or they buzz...

    Satori Woofer Woofer & Tweeter before painting the tweeter's faceplate Sand-filled area in the base of the stand before gluing a top on it. It took forever to get the angle exactly right for sitting exactly 7 feet from the speaker with ears at 38 inches above the floor.

    Heeman's New DIY MTM Project

    Yeah, while I have a make-shift dust collection capacity, I also wear a respirator mask most of the time I am machining the MDF. Seems to work well. Also, MDF dust is perfect for making wood filler by mixing it with standard PVA wood glue.

    I forgot to mention that to additionally improve the bass performance and clean up the midrange, I applied as many as four layers of mass-loaded vinyl to the walls between the braces. This adds compliant mass to the MDF making it less likely to flex and if it does attempt to vibrate, it is...

    My Reference Grade 2-Way Active Loudspeakers

    There were many little things I did to improve performance, such as placing Sorbothane Disks between the loudspeaker and the top of the middle enclosure to isolate the vibrations from the speaker. I also filled the base plates on the stands with sand to deaden them from any potential vibrations...

    My Reference Grade 2-Way Active Loudspeakers

    I thought it would be fun to share a set of very high end loudspeakers I designed and built nearly 3 years ago. The goal was to make them simple unique in appearance and fully integrated to the base/stands the way the original Energy loudspeaker from the 1980s was built. I always envied that...

    Heeman's New DIY MTM Project

    MDF is merely sawdust with a weak resin in it to lightly hold it together then compressed significantly until the resin cures. It is NOT a structural martial which is capable of being fastened through the edge and being fastened into the face is not very strong at all. It isn't intended for use...

    Heeman's New DIY MTM Project

    Hmmm.... it is hard to explain as this is an area of expertise for me. So what makes me an expert in this area? I've worked with all of the Tweeters currently on the market selling for over $250 each, even these, and they are not dramatically different tweeters from the dozens of other Supreme...
