This began as a upgrade project to a mostly home theater (HT) arrangement we have which is a hodgepodge of Yamaha receiver, 12" Mono Sub. Bose 6 and Bose center bar with Bose 101's as rear and rear center speakers. The Anthology II's will for some time to come be above the grade of the other components but it is a start. Hopefully in the future we'll find deals on an Emotiva processor and power amp.
We wanted to build Statements but parts are no longer available then Jim Holtz told us about the upcoming release of the Anthology II's (Thank you Jim!) and he patiently answered all my questions until we decided to make the jump.
Jump we did, ordered the parts the week before the Iowa MAC/DIY meeting which we were going to attend but the weather here was perfect for cutting MDFF outside so we set up on the patio and cut out all the wood for the build. We did our routing over the next two days, would not even think of doing this without the Jasper circle cutting jig.
We started with the PVC support doublers added to the front and rear baffles
Added all of the Tee Nuts
Closed them up and routed edges
Then routed front edges
Currently working on the crossovers. We 3D printed rafts that
will hold all of the components and support them.
They are anchored in place with a larger version of the snap fittings
like used to hold speaker grills in place.
