I placed this information over here since I know it would not be allowed in the DIY section. Since this section does state “high end speakers”, I hope it is allowed to stay.
I wanted to take an opportunity to show some very nice speakers I had custom made. These speakers consist of a Lambda TD12H, PHL 1120 and NeoPro5i and are being called JCW’s. The name consists of the first initials of the folks involved in this project.
J=James, financier
C=Curt, crossover designer and sound tweaker
W=Wayne, cabinet builder and sound tweaker
I wanted to create this myself but my lack of knowledge in speaker building and due to physical limitations this was not possible. I had contacted a few folks about my concept but things did not work out. I got some advice from another forum member (Chuck) who stated I should see if Curt would be interested in this. After some initial discussions on what I was looking for the project took off.
I spoke with both Curt and Wayne many times during the build process on many different aspects of the build, where the speakers would be located, equipment being used, room size, veneer type, style, etc, etc.
The Lambda is being crossover to the PHL at 500 and the PHL to the NeoPro at 2000. The Lambda is in one cabinet and the PHL-Neo is in a separate one. Both are cherry veneer with solid cherry edges. Combined the two cabinets weigh about 122 pounds (for one side).
A couple of things I will not be discussing are the overall cost of these but will say the drivers themselves were around 1,500. Neither will I be showing schematics of the crossover that were created. Sorry but that is a choice I have made.
I have been using vinyl as my initial listening platform for these. My setup can be seen here:
I hope someone enjoys the work of two guys that really enjoy (and know how to) make some kicking speakers in there spare time and I REALLY wanted to express publicly how enjoyable it was to work with them.
And by the way, these speakers rock. I am hearing things in music that I have not heard before. Allot of drum, cymbal and string sounds are “now” appearing. The voice section is also very nice, Alison Krauss has never sounded better (along with the Led Zepp and AC-DC). I am not really good at describing sound so I will leave it at that.
