SMJ ET CCTT Build
It's been long awaited on my part as well as waiting my turn in the queue to have Steve Manning help me with another speaker project for the theater. It wouldn't be fare to not mention Evil Twin either for making me practice my patience while he did the speaker and crossover work for this design. The... -
Deewan's Anthology II (LCR) with Bromo (surround speakers) build thread
Greetings all. I've been out of the DIY speaker kit scene for a bit. My last build was a Statement II custom cabinet build 8 years ago. I recently sold my home and the new owners wanted to purchase all my theater gear and DIY speakers. I find myself with nothing more than a Sonos ARC and Sonos sub to...

Now an Ardent P CC may become a reality...
This is an idea that has been asked for previously, based on the Wavecor Ardent, and with driver availability in flux or downright disappearing, seemed unlikely to be realized. The introduction of the PuriFi PTT8.0X04 raised hopes for a new generation of Ardent (if anyone is interested!) and it may...

Calliope CC Mk2 Design Study
Exciting times! Steve is considering promoting (?) me to Senior Speaker Designer for Home Theater Products at SMJ! That's of course, contingent on whether I come through on these new HT oriented projects! The only downside seems to be that the exotic two channel audio stuff will all be handled by... -
Started building some towers and a center, Anthology/Finalist
First time build. So far so good. Just have one tower left to sand and paint.
The paint is just polished Krylon from lowes.
Powering everything with a Pioneer SC-27 so it should be about 160 watts to each tower and 180 to the center. I would like to hear them with a separate... -
Modula NeoD CC build for fireplace mantel
I am making progress on the subwoofer and learned a decent amount from that build. Moving on the weakest link in my system really is the center channel. I have an old Martin Logan low end center channel that likes to kill amplifiers..
HTguide member Concilian was kind enough to sell me the drivers... -
Steve's been bugging me for a center channel design...
Sometimes I wonder if developing another center channel design is a bit like doing another 6-1/2" two way- as I think Dennis Murphy said once, another 6-1/2' two way is not going to be a ground breaking concept...
But it can be made interesting... (but that's a different day and a... -
Curved Finalist center channel build
A year ago I did a lot of research on DIY speaker but after countless hours my head almost exploded. I kinda lost interest and moved on to other Projects. About 3 months ago I dove back in and decided I wanted to build a set of anthology’s with the finalist center in a curved design. Well I found...

ZD3C w/ DQ25SC16 Tweeter Build
So, as discussed in the ZDT3-5-sort-of-Duelund-crossover-design-I-hope thread, I was looking to build the Zaph ZDT3.5/ZD3C speakers but with the same tweeter Zaph used on his ZA5 series designs. Since I was in need of a decent centre channel, I chose to start with that.
I went a different... -
A Finalist Center Channel build
I liked the Anthologys so much, I figured I'd better upgrade my 13 year old center channel to something worthy. There's also grumblings that the RS28F tweeter may be in limited supply.
This build will likely take 2-3 weeks as I wait for parts to arrive and poke away on evenings and weekends.... -
YASIIBT (Yet Another Statement II Build Thread)
Hello all. I recently discovered this forum in my search for info on the Statement II's. I've been wanting to do a DIY build for a while, and one of the features I knew I wanted was a ribbon tweeter. I love the EMIT tweeter from vintage Infinity's (rocking the RSIIIb's as mains and RSVb's as surrounds),...

New 5.1 setup build - Creativesound V1, V2 and V2 ML-TL
Currently developing a set of 5.1 speakers after being out of the game for quite a while. I am using the creativesound.ca kits. The plan is to use a V2 (MTM) for center, V2 ML TL (vertical MTM, transmission line tower) and V1 (MT, ported 2-way bookshelf).
As of now I haven't started the... -
New center channels for the Statements II and The Finalists!
You can't have a new speaker without a new center channel to compliment it for home theater.
Statements II and The Finalists Center Channel
During the last several years the original Statements have been frequently used as mains for home theater systems. The original Statements... -
Statements and CC build for my winter project
Hey guys,
I changed my plans around and got WAF (well, girlfriend in my case) to start working on a set of Statements for LR and the Statements CC
. I'm starting to pool my resources and plan where I am going to purchase everything.
When I was looking at resistors and... -
The Blackbird: a center channel to match SR71's
Here's a center channel I just completed to match my SR71 mains.
I call it The Blackbird, a nod to the SR71 Blackbird jet.
It uses the same drivers as the SR71:
SEAS ER18RNX Woofer
SEAS 27TDFC Tweeter
