Speakers progress

[lewisss (Mark Johnson)]

a quick photo tour of the speakers i am building

the boards for the crossovers and amplifiers

the first prototypes

tuning the first working model

The Dalek with omnidirectional midrange and tweeter (sounded just wrong)

Amplification and heatsink (thanks @joeatkin2)

and so onto the actual build…

carcasses put together

clamping

and internal bracing

base, back and sides covered in valcromat

DALEK 2 having oak clamped to face and top

the pair nearly done ready for finishing

first one wired up and working… apologies to @emuboy totally my fault i blew up two capacitors and 5 op-amps

[tobyspark (Toby Harris)]

Looking great. Tho’ shame the omni-directional ‘UFO’ sitting on top didn’t sound right, I thought that looked super-cool.

[emuboy (Andrea Campanella)]

No worries ! I would had set a world record if was my fault: “Blew a circuit just connecting my phone”

[joeatkin2]

The problem with omnis is that they are not understood well , the ones I made worked but marks didn’t.
Short of doing a lot of work and building a model it’s just dum luck building omnis , mark was trying a more ambitious profile than mine , it would be interesting to figure it out when I have a few months to spare

[joeatkin2]

Looking fantastic

[tomnewsom]

Beautiful work

[lewisss (Mark Johnson)]

Both made now … just the amp enclosures to be made

[tobyspark (Toby Harris)]

Wow. Beautiful.

Also good choice on the white cones, I’m looking at a pair of monitors like that now =]
