Well, with all the threads about waveguides and curved builds I decided to make a semi-DIY attempt at my own version. Last February I was able to listen to a pair of Geddes Abbey 12's here in Denver and was truely impressed. I recently received a pair of baffles with the waveguides, crossover parts, and drivers (hence the semi-DIY). I was able to start on the build a little over a week ago after desigining a bending form and cutting and prepping stock and sheet goods. The sides and internal braces are 1 1/2 " laminated Balitc Birch plywood, MDF and a cherry veneer that I cut from some special boards I've been saving for this project. The birch, MDF, and cherry were laminated in a vacuum press using epoxy. The front baffle and the back will be a satin black enamel. The sides (cherry) will be a hand rubbed oil finish. All exposed corners will be rounded over to a minimum of 1 1/2 inch radius. Will keep people informed of the build if there is an interest.
