@remington, 3 days in OB and i'm beginning to understand the word "smooth". kung classical, jazz & acoustics, ayus na sa akin yong bass - kaso at the end of the day i listen to rock kaya will go for "proper cabinet" pa rin.
@shrek7, kasalanan 'to ni brader mon.
@soundstageultra, thank you sir. will post better pix next time.

very nice bro! from what we have experienced through experimentation the wider the box the better soundstage and imaging you will get. di baleng hindi masyado malalim, mas maganda pang rock kasi nagiging parang invisible yung speakers at malalim ang bass just like what I did with my 8" sarap pang rakrakan! Good luck bro parinig kami pag uwi mo dito sa pinas hehehe!!!

bro, 1 month pa lang ako dito sa Jeddah, still looking for a room big enough to appreciate the AN. dito ko na rin inorder ung AN on my 1st pay day. still looking for resources to build a box. right now, bumili ako muna sa IKEA ng palochina wood board 20mm thick, ok naman ang quality.

my set up here: pc>SMSL sanskrit>SMSL SA-36A PRO/SA-98E>AN

noted mga suggestions nyo, no going back talaga pag nka-experience na ng nirvana - hindi nakakasawa.

sure thing bro, kaya nga bumalik ako abroad para matuloy yong audio room para sa atin

saka pundar din ako ng tools para sa wood workshop especialising in speaker box & audio furnitures

Congrats! Hanap ka ng mahusay gumawa ng Transmission Line Cabinet.

Modify mo na lang sukat. Architect ka naman eh.

bro, conceptualized & did in CAD & 3ds Max yesterday while killing the time.
cige bigay mo lang design requirements & kung ano type mo na look. wag mo na lang ako tanungin regarding sa "technicalities". just base my "design" on existing & proven cabinets

sana nga bro, di bale sa pinas ko pa naman plan gawin 'to, marami pang maiisip by then.

kung may kursunada sa group pwede na nila kopyahin - send ko na lng details ng construction.

My AN after 10 days in temporary enclosure. Room size 3.5*5.0m.

h.80*w.50w*d.32m. enclosure. started out as OB, now closed except the bottom panel. gaps at 4 bottom corners act as port.

binding post & banana plug from raon, royal cord from project site, makurawas cable

Sir, please give your impression naman, para kahit konti eh matikman naman namin ang lasa ng flavor nyan kahit sa description lang, hehehe!!!

[disclaimer: not really good at describing sound, always gauge it with feeling]
Sir, previous AN was Standard 8" & was already happy with it. AlNiCo 12" tho still in burn-in period and experimental box sounds good already to me. initial impressions, very natural ang mids out from the box, highs starting to sparkle, bass malakas pero parang sakal & not consistent throughout the bottom frequency- cguro "port"opening. Unlike nung OB pa lang - smooth & consistent kahit mahina. Try ko tweak this weekend. Tama ka sir, di mapili sa room ang alnico, kahit walang treatment. bro remington, suggested the wide front enclosure, iba nga ang soundstage - nag-iba ang feel ko sa 'Wish You here' album ng Pink Floyd, very immersive.

Salamat sa mga insights. Merry Christmas!

remington · « **Reply #2331 on:** Dec 21, 2014 at 11:05 PM »

experimental box palang sounds good na what more kung proper box na!!!! tama ka bro kaya sakal bass e dahil sa port opening, na experience ko din yan dito sa ginagawa kong box na mix design ng pencil at bass reflex para dito sa 8" na AN kaya ang ginawa ko dalawang opening isang mahaba sa ilalim parang sa pencil design na 5" ang opening at 5"din na bilog sa middle ng box yung chamber instead na single hole e ginawa kong 4 equal holes ayun sapul hehehe!

confirmed bro, yun nga ang salarin. di makapaghintay ng weekend ayun gumawa ako ng port sa harap square [same area as round hole on 2.8 & 5.6 AN box]. napangiti uli ako kahit pagod

. medyo nag-worry lang ako sa mga housemates ko baka magalit kasi dinig sa CR yung bass, eh sealed ang door ko. tried ko din pakiramdaman sa kitchen [may door din] - 2 masonry walls in between about 6 meter ang layo, feel pa rin ang bass. pero parang pag nasa loob ako ng room ko di nman gaano malakas, 9am lang volume ko sa SMSL SA-36a pro. na-miss ko tuloy ang amplificador de válvulas ko dyan sa pinas

remington · « **Reply #2333 on:** Dec 22, 2014 at 08:46 AM »

ayos hehehe! ganyan nga ang AN mas malayo mas maganda ang bass at detail. Nung nag listening session nga kila master tony noon mas masarap sya pakinggan pag nasa malayo, malaki kasi ang sala ni master tony kaya mas enjoyable sya pakinggan nung nasa bandang kusina na kami naka pwesto at kumakain ng pansit hehehe

Mapapalabas pa ang bass. Try moving the speakers forward. Depends on your space. On mine i put my speakers on 1/3 length of room. Listener at the 2/3 mark going back. Bali they are on the 1/3 nodes of the room. Result is more defined and complete bass. Wider sound stage. Air opens up a little.
