Very much YES brader... though these are my personal opinion, I can now safely conclude this drivers in their respective boxes are winners. They sure sound big for a relatively small package.

Last Sunday made me remember the height I experienced with them huge Lansing and JBL laden VOTT setups which to this day is a true keeper imho. Larry (camoteque) is a lucky guy who still has the chance to play with those.

Anyway, I'm keeping my MA drivers until that day when I can build a house with a dedicated audio room. ;)



JojoD,

I'm just plain lucky that my wife allows me to have a small space for my "big" speakers. She had, in fact, instructed the kasambahay never to trespass my space or otherwise she might get electrocuted.

Bro kumusta. Lucky for you, as for me I don't have the space anymore... too many gears, most of which are not mine pa. Though I'm still happy I get to play with them even without the need to own one.

Yes it is wise to instruct others not to meddle with our setups especially for safety. I give my kids mini-seminars so they know the reason why it's off limits. Watch, listen - yes, but no touch. :)

I still wish to own "big" speakers again, but I'm already satisfied to know that I have a realistic choice with these MA drivers.

Kaya nga dun sa "2015 wishlist" thread ni Mark sa DA isa ako sa nagsuggest ng OEM grills for his drivers.mahirap pa sa enclosure gawin ang covers & will introduce more issues like diffraction + resonance if mali ang design.

Yung mga nakikita kong aftermarket grills mostly panget & for car audio application. Sana MA can come up with screw on type that will use the same holes of the driver's frame.

minsan naiwanan ko bukas ang pinto ng listening room, pagbalik ko nakatingala yung pusa namin sa CHR-70. mukhang attractive sa kanya yong champagne color ^-^
so ok talaga pagnagkaroon ng protection grill, plan ko pa naman 10p rin this year.

Now worries brader, take your time in building it hindi naman karera yan basta do your research & tanong ka lang dito if you're not sure about anything or you need suggestions  O0

The grill need not be sophisticated. It will just protect the drivers when they are left alone and when just leisurely listening.  But during serious listening sessions this can be removed.

Hey guys, just in case anyone here's interested, I'm disposing of my DIY OB enclosure that I used for burning in MA drivers. Here's the link:

http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,198237.0.html

Para hindi OT, Sadly, due to time conflicts, until now, I still haven't 100% finished my MA enclosure. Nagagamit na, but the finishing stage was the punishing part :p

Thanks sir Deist. If only I have time now to finally finish my Alpair 10P enclosure. Pati protective grills din hindi ko pa magawa. I need to machine mill it pa kasi para swak na swak. I tried once and I failed by a few mm, hindi na fit :P

Same here, mas mahirap talaga gumawa ng grills kesa sa pensil box. If I have all the tools siguro nagawa ko na matagal na. The ones for car audio naman requires drilling sa baffles. Ayoko naman ng half baked work mabubuwisit lang ako everytime makikita sya hahaha

I found a better solution though....lock the door to my home office/listening room  ;)  ^-^ >:D

Wala kami helper so the kids help me out with the cleaning. Natutuwa naman ako kasi alam nila ang pwede galawin at hindi. Maski si bunso na super kulit wala pa naman sinusundot o binabaril na speaker cone. ;D ;D ;D

Sobra lang dami ng gears ngayon dito, nun isang araw halos mamilipit ako sa sakit nun natisod ako sa pinadala AVR ni brader Donnel... talo yun hinlilit ko sa paa waaaah! ;D

Naalala ko lang...

About 2 years ago, I was able to meet sir Stark3 and I got to audition his Mark Audio speakers using my setup. Great sounding speakers.

Here is his DIY thread: http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,162110.msg1637312.html#msg1637312

Here is a link showing my impression about his speakers: http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,162110.msg1677872.html#msg1677872

I wonder kung ano na ang nangyari sa kanya. Hindi na nya naituloy yung thread nya. I haven't heard from him since then.
