Medjo shameless plug but if you haven't tried putting acoustic absorbers behind the drivers, it's worth trying. Very big difference in lows. Tighter lows because it absorbs some of the mid-lows that hit the backwall. Improvement in the mids & highs for full range speakers. Here's a short review from our fellow Pdvder:

Naghahap ako Nelson ng treatment para sa 5 liter DIY bookshelf speaker ko. Kaso ang hinahanap ko is 1" dense open cell foam. Yung walang eggshell moulding Flat.

Realistically ang naabsorb ng acoustic foam is 500hz and up. So perfect for my 100hz tuned ported bookshelf. Mids and highs ang lilinisin.

Mayroon ka ba nun?

I think I have plain surface pero it's 2" thick. Will that do?

Close up pic mo nga ako ng edge view.

That's correct Gino, IME open cell foam performs better for damping compared to closed cell.

Just sharing my DIY speakers and speaker stands.

Drivers were bought 3 years ago and just managed to have time to build boxes for this. These are full range 3"wood cone speakers at 4ohms each so I wired them together to get an 8ohm. Each driver is separately enclosed on its own angular spiral enclosure.

Very happy with it. Small drivers with a very big sound. Details are excellent. Decent base I attribute to the cabinet design. And the best thing about it, easy to drive. Just using my Dayton tripath to power it.

Stands are a combination or reclaimed narra, ipil, and excess Canadian pine I used for a project.

Thanks,

eestrera

Well done. It means business. The stands look like they can take it.

Thanks everyone for the compliment. Yes I believe they were part of the JVC production for their hi-end component series. Tried to get more of these but unfortunately can't find any of them anymore.

Gino · « **Reply #1256 on:** Feb 08, 2015 at 07:40 PM »

I heard those JVC wood cones many years back when I was pitching for the JVC account. We were brought to their Pasay Rd showroom. Very crisp sound speakers. They couldn't make them bigger because the material would not be able to sustain the stress.

If have not already done so, and if there is room, try listening with the speakers 1/3 the length of the room form front wall. Then chair 1/3 the length from the back wall. You will bring out the bass.

Hi! Would you guys know anyone offering wood cutting services in the Makati or Fort Area?

Napansin ko din yan for a driver that small.

Thanks. Will try that. Actually have a another sofa on the opposite end exactly at 1/3 the end of the room. What I haven't tried though is moving speakers a little bit more forward as I have kids running around the house all the time
