MEH DIY build

I need to ban myself from the internet…

Now I’m thinking of these:

Do you have Sims or actual measurements of the subs you are considering? Or is that next step?

The one I 3D modelled above is pretty flat 30-90Hz. Similarly that folded horn just above the THAM is also pretty flat over the same area just goes down a few dB lower before tapering off.

They’re only 30cm wide, so you could have two each side :+1:

I was thinking more lying them on their side and having the JMODS pointing up a bit :laughing:
But I do like your spirit, just like @SteadySteve more bass = better

Seriously it does look like a good design. I’m guessing with only a 10" and a fairly small size there’s a limit to the SPL and efficiency, but good powerful amps are not expensive nowadays.

Haha, I’m using less is more right now.

2 clicks down on both THs and MEH LFs than when you were here last.

It’s nice to have reserves though​:+1:

Wood cutting is progressing well

Ah that fresh cut birch ply smell.

Geoff at Servicesound has given the David Wright monos a clean bill of health and just requiring a new ECC82.

The decware he described as positively dangerous and terribly put together :laughing:
So he will be undoing the battery mod and reinstating the volume control etc. basically taking it back to how it should be.

Either way will be well timed by the time they are finished with the wood being ready for collection too.

Still not decided on bass solution. I might borrow a sub for a bit to see how it fits. But I don’t really want to compromise too much other than size. As I’m going to all this effort and expense so want something decent.

Don’t compromise on the bass. You will be surprised how much difference it makes.

So I went to Geoff of ServiceSound as he was relatively local and got back to me really quickly. He described the Decware as positively lethal :laughing: so that got a full rebuild, got rid of the weird battery mod and reinstated the volume on the rear. Just listening to it now and it sounds great, with the added bonus it won’t kill me.

The David Wright monos just needed a valve and some dry joints sorting but otherwise all good.

Would definitely recommend Geoff for servicing

Back on the rack with some of Claire’s trinkets to slightly hide the ugliness

:joy: Die young and stay pretty..

But good to stick around until you have built the MEHs and at least heard them once dialled in.

You will have to take it up with her. I have a small vase obsession and she has a small bowl one :laughing:

Do you have stuff in them or is it a form thing? @crimsondonkey did an envious line of erotic cacti which may pair well?

Some small feathers, but occasionally flowers from Claire’s allotment.

Not the weirdest thing we have by any stretch though and yes that is a mouse in the owls claws

The Vases are very tasteful.
Attempting to process Owl / Wiccan potential. Current themes of computation suggest not showing this at all ever to @murrayjohnson He will leap from his sex pond and claim back his ‘Familiar’.
