So, scanspeak midbass goes out ?
I bought the Scanspeaks on an impulse, having heard them once and getting enamored. Thus they don't go out. They go on the attic till the time I get matching high quality tweeters of the calibre of Revelator or Satori range. Then, they'll come out and I'll make smallish high-end Bookshelfs.
Yes the Scan-speak drivers deserve hi quality tweeters, like the SB's Satori Range.
excellent woofers, be careful of their propensity for ringing and sibilance. cross them 2k or below.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm making "Statement" spreakers which are a proven design. It was suggested by @keith_correa here.
There is a box for each of them as shared in the photos. It’s not a perfect fit. (Box is a bit loose). But bubble wrap or foam should see you through. Enjoy.
Going by my experience with courier guys, mere bubble wrap may not suffice IMHO. Going by the pic, the excess gap at the top needs to be filled with a PU foam cut to the size ensuring that the foam surrounds are left free. Thereafter, both the boxes need to be packed in single carton with an inner lining of PU foam or thermacol, tightly packed. They then need to be couriered duly insured. That'll do the trick I guess.
Thanks for the suggestion @Kannan I do have a class AB six channel power amp designed by an enthusiastic DIY group called SJK which has one of our well known FMs as a member. Only, this active speaker front. Which particular active X-over do you suggest?Go active Captain.
What will be your source or sources?
Paradigm Streamer, Marantz CDP & Tatasky STB.
So one analogue, coaxial and one optical
Translam - outer carcass of MDF [because, dense] - thickness: more than double of the innermost carcass, 1 mm - 2 mm of cork in the middle, inner carcass of 4 mm - 5 mm Plywood [because, stiff]. No need for Birch Ply!
The Streamer can take in one analog & one optical. It can thus do the job of a preamp.
Complicated stuff this and may be beyond my capability. Any pointers who could do this in Mumbai?Translam - outer carcass of MDF [because, dense] - thickness: more than double of the innermost carcass, 1 mm - 2 mm of cork in the middle, inner carcass of 4 mm - 5 mm Plywood [because, stiff]. No need for Birch Ply!
You're welcome!
As @keith_correa said above or if a interested in a more (experimental) method, can use the constrained layer damping (CLD) based cabinet construction and brace construction methods given here towards the end: https://www.somasonus.net/box-construction-methods
