Ergo's Wavecor Ardent Build
With the weather conditions finally replicating the ones in CA the time is right to finally replicate the Wavecor Ardents up here in north
I do love the Fusion 360 and it's CAD -> CAM -> CNC machine workflow. I started things off with the front panel milling jobs. My machine... -
Overnight Sensation 'Matchstick' build thread
I haven't seen anything put together like this, so despite the simplicity a short build thread.
Preamble: Had some large B&W towers and needed something smaller. I ended up with a Pioneer soundbar that was rated really highly for its musicality, IMO it didn't come close to cutting... -
Subwoofer build
My latest project is a subwoofer. I have mixed feelings about subwoofers because I like them to augment the bass, while being audibly inconspicuous at the same time. In other words, I like to fully hear the bass without it being obvious that the subwoofer is supplying the low frequencies. That... -
Anthology late stage build
Hi all,
I'm really poor at documenting my build progress, but thought I should at the very least post up where I'm at in the process in case it helps someone else. And of course, to give thanks to Jim and Curt for providing the details of a fine DIY speaker. With that said; Thank you!... -
Slow Finalists Center and Anthologys Build
So, I decided to build a couple of Jim and Curt's more recent speakers. PE has had RS225's and RS28F's on sale recently, combined with a bit of shopping spree action allowed me to get most of the parts I needed for very reasonable cost. As the title says, the build is likely going to be slow. I would... -
TARKUS Build Thread
Hi all,
Thanks for all the help on the subwoofer build. I have learned my lessons from there regarding cheap plywood. So, I have a big box of drivers and crossover parts for Paul Carmody's Tarkus. I also have 4 sheets of 18mm Baltic Birch ply. The infuriating thing is that I got this ply... -
Anthology build
This may be a somewhat short build thread as I have all of the pieces cut, all of the window braces are done, and the tunnel parts are cut as well.
I will post more pics tomorrow on those pieces.
I purchased these as a kit from Meniscus and opted for the finished crossovers as I thought... -
Another Wavecor Ardent build
This project was supposed to come after the completion of my https://www.htguide.com/forum/showth...sign-and-build but I didn't make much progress over the summer, and now cooler weather threatens my outdoor workspace. Even if it didn't get cold, the water goes...

Mission Possible Woodshop Speakers: The Carritas
Howdy all,
Nothing too crazy compared to all the beautiful builds happening right now (Tek's Ardent's, cough* cough*), but I figured I would share because the back story behind them is really cool and I have been very impressed with them.
The speakers are a super-budget Jeff... -

Sealed Statements 2.0 + Center Channel
As I mentioned in my other threads....I'm going to rebuild my Statements in sealed cabinets. This will also, hopefully, let me have cabinets with less mistakes (famous last words), switch to the Vifa mids, use the larger center channel, and add sealed bass bins under the Statements for extended 2 channel...

Statements in Australia
Well I have finally finished my first big speaker project, Jim and Curts Statements (having Paul's OS under my belt).
They were a labour of love. Thank you gents for your contribution to the DIY community and to all those who collaborated with you. A big help was all of the build threads... -
Cinema F-20 Subwoofer Build - DONE!
In an effort to upgrade the low end of my HT on a budget I grabbed up a few of the last remaining MFW-15 sub drivers. Over on AVS, Lilmike designed a front loaded horn enclosure for this driver and I thought I would try a few. This design can produce high SPL from 20hz on up with relatively little power....

My Mini Statements build thread
Having finished the front LCR speakers with the full size Statements and the 2rCC modified Statement center channel, it's time to start building DIY surround speakers for my 7.1 system.
Four Mini Statements will be built with modified cabinets. Also instead of building bases, I'm building...
