Looks great but...

Do you think this thing is going to sell without at least having some kind of performance data included? Jeez...maybe he doesn't really want it to go!

Dude, it doesn't matter at all, it pushes out 700 watts of pure $2000-driver awesomeness! Who the hell cares what it sounds like!

 

[Randy]

Well the woodwork certainly appears to have a great deal of awesomeness. Based on the pictures that is a really nice looking piece.

 

[Batman]

Yeah, I have NO idea what that thing is worth or how it sounds, but I have to hand it to the guy, he built one helluva cabinet, that thing is beautiful! :text-bravo:

 

[Dennie]

Wow! That sure is beautiful.........

I bet it sells.

I like how the driver is recessed in a nice bevel edge.

That speaker is worth every single penny and I'd buy it if I needed it and had the money.

While obviously NOT a 33" speaker, the Focal 15" beast he used is perhaps one of the finest woofers produced for hi-fi applications.

Unfortunately, that speaker is NOT a subwoofer, it is a woofer designed for amazing performance in the 30Hz to 800Hz range. I am sure it operates as low as 20Hz, but I doubt it has significant output below 25Hz, or so. Two of those used as bass bins in a three way setup similar to mine would be unbelievable!!!

I love the cabinetry, as well. My next speakers might look something like that.

 

[Flint]

BY the way, the modern equivilent to the woofer he used is the Focal 15" Audiom which sells for about $1,200 in the US.

Call this hobby a blessing, or a curse... It never ends! :angry-banghead:

Did you notice he also beveled around the ports?

Does beveled have one L or 2? Beveled or Bevelled?

 

[Botch]

Depends on if its around the driver, or the port. :teasing-tease:

 

[MatthewB]

Don't let LHMKOTJ know it has beveled ports otherwise it's "game on"

 

[Wardsweb]

That man has mad skills with wood and obviously the tools to back him up. While nice, I think there are better true subs out there at retail and for DIY.
