I've lurked here as a guest for a few years consuming information and enjoying the amazing collection of knowledge and resources. I've built a few speakers for myself, but nothing worth sharing here. Recently a friend asked me to help him in his quest for audio nirvana. With his limited budget and small apartment space, we decided that the Overnight Sensation MTM's combined with a Dayton T-amp would hit the sweet spot. The beauty of this cost saving set up is the simplicity of the T-amp plugged into the headphone out on the TV allowing use of the TV remote to control volume. We also determined that a narrow tower design would be a great fit for his environment. Cherry veneer was chosen because it was one of the cheapest paper backed varieties at the time of purchase and also it's characteristic red tint was predicted to be a decent match for the bronze colored B4N. Paul's directions for the build were followed except for adding additional size to the cabinet. A shelf was used to divide the lower compartment of the tower from the top. The bottom was filled partially with sand for stability and to give a total weight around 40lbs per speaker. The finish was very simple, sanded to 400 grit, 1 coat of Minwax Red Chestnut stain, and finally 4 coats of Minwax spray on clear satin polyurethane. The results are a joy to listen to and fit the bill perfectly. This is my second Paul Carmody designed build and I'm a big fan!! Thank you Paul for sharing you wonderful designs. ;x(
