My wife and I were recently cleaning out a closet in a spare bedroom when we came across a large box. Apparently, about 16 years ago I was thinking of building a set of Thor speakers. The parts arrived and were immediately stowed away and forgotten.
The box indicates that it was delivered in December of 2006. Everything is complete and in good condition. The mid-woofers say VIFA PL11WG09. The tweeters say MOREL MDT 30-S. There are components for the crossovers, binding posts, two rather short ports, a pile of polyester filler, and what appears to be roughly 20 ft. sq. of a heavy black mat called Black Hole.
First, is any of this stuff even any good any longer, or has it been superceded by superior drivers?
Second, after more than 15 years I really no longer have much interest in towers and would prefer to build the Odins which, I believe, mostly use the same components.
Should I plan on upgrading the drivers? Should I make some changes in the values of the crossovers? Should I just box it all back up and forget about it? Are the cabinet plans for the Odins, which are still on the internet, still good? Should I make any changes to their cabinet plans? Building the cabinets won't be a problem at all since I have already built a pair of Carreras a couple of years ago (and I love them). This could be a fun winter project or is it a waste of time?
Thank you in advance for any help you can direct my way.
