I read somewhere that Jon thought his modula neoD cc design was one of his best and in the build thread someone else mentions a listening report that describes "electrostatic like clarity". Sounds good.
I'd really like to build these but, assuming I can even find a pair of tweeters, the price for two speakers is getting too high for me.
The other options that I've been considering are the m8ta, m8td3, modula mt xe, or possibly the modula mtm.
The m8td3 isn't a completed design but Jon suggested that they won't need alot of tweeking. To me its the most interesting design due to the driver choices and cool cabinet construction but I'm not sure if the design is ready to be built.
I don't have any idea how these speakers might compare to one another and I'm hoping some of you might be able to give me some advice.
As for my requirements, ideally looking for 40hz extension in a medium room, moderate sound levels for Jazz, bluegrass, etc. Equipment is mid level but I want a speaker I can keep as I upgrade to highend stuff. I have access to a large shop and an experienced wood worker and may go the cnc route if building the m8ta or m8td3. Also have measuring gear but I don't want to get into that.
I'd like to stay under $800 without cabinets.
I would listen to suggestions for projects by other designers too, but I've found Jon's projects so interesting and have always meant to build one. Since I don't have time to continue with this hobby its going to be my last chance for some time.
Any input is appreciated
Thanks
