Home Theater Bookshelf using Esoteric and Corundum Drivers

[123Toid]

Recently I designed a new build using the Dayton Esoteric and Peerless Corundum drivers for a YouTuber named Doublsmm. He wanted me to design him some new bookshelf speakers for his theater. So I designed him 3 identical fronts using the 7" Esoteric driver and two rears using the esoteric 5" driver. Overall I think they came out really nice. He kept his sealed, but I ported mine. And I must say, I really love the Eso 7's ported. They have a real nice smooth sound to them. But I was a little disappointed with how they measured. They have a nasty peak right around 1khz (which is very audible. But once I got that tamed down, they really came alive. Here is a basic build video. I'll post some photos of the drivers down under.

The Esoteric 7's are about $460 a pair and the Eso 5's are about $400 a pair. I personally love the Eso 7's. Before I moved I was using those as my front two speakers in my living room. I never heard one bad thing on the, Which was nice. Here's a link to the plans. Doublsmm should have a review of them up shortly.

Can't you mount a tweeter that isn't cockeyed? Where are the proof plots?
