My latest creation. A 3-way speaker using Scan-Speak Discovery 22W/8534 woofer, Eton 5-880 midrange, and Vifa XT250TG30 in a Visaton WG148R waveguide. The woofer is in a transmission line cabinet

Baffle is solid Sapele with a maple stripe. OCD may kick in with this one a bit, the boards...

One of our members, Dhar, shared with me a project he's being working on for a friend- it's a build using a Joseph Crowe designed front baffle for the SB and PuriFi drivers, with a waveguide for the tweeter milled into the front panel. Joseph Crowe sells a 3D CAD file for the baffle drawing, and then...

When last we left our intrepid adventurer, a bunch of orcs had attacked Middle Earth with a virus causing Bjorn to flee to his bathroom to make speakers. Much like this opening, that effort really didn't turn out well. Here's the original thread, including some of the discussion of the Helios design...

I’ll start this off by saying that I will never build another system without a wave guide. If there are any downsides, I don’t see them.

This system uses 2 RS180 midbass and one XT25tg60 (double magnet) in a wave guide crossed actively at 1700hz. The XT25/60 is superior to the single...

I'm about to begin my first measurements/crossover design of a system with a waveguide. I was wondering if people who've worked with waveguide designs do anything different when taking measurements and designing the crossover. Here's the measurements of the tweeter on a flat baffle and in the waveguide:...

A couple of years ago I began to get the parts together to make Zaph's WGTMM. Then life/work/etc had me straying from listening to my audio system except for a few months in the winter, so never completed the project. I got back to my system a week or so ago and would like to finish up these speakers...

You may have seen this thread over on PR tech talk. ABS Waveguide Thread Dave Pellegrene has a thread about creating some elliptical waveguides using various plastic materials, a heat gun and a pressing method. He has sent me four samples to do some testing on. All were originally created for the Vifa...

This thread is to report on an attempt to make develop a waveguide for use with the Neo3pdr and/or Neo3w. DanP and I worked together to come up with the specs for 4 waveguide prototypes, which he then produced and sent to me. I ordered a Neo3pdr and a Neo3w to test in the waveguides. I received the...

Hi all.

I was finally able to get some preliminary measurements of this tweeter on a flat baffle (sort of infinite baffle) and with some custom waveguides. The Transducer labs tweeter is a ceramic dome tweeter. You can read about it here:

Hi guys, some of you will have seen the results of our previous shoot out where we measured and listened to various popular waveguides and compression drivers in one day.

Here is part 2.

Who is we? A small group of Aussies into DIY who are building speakers...

[Paul Spencer]

Hi guys, thought some of you might be interested in a little get together we had this weekend. Four Aussies got together on a sunny saturday, measured some compression driver + waveguide combos, set up active crossovers and listened to about 7 different versions with some dynamic torture tracks that...

I posted this before, but I think the details might have dissuaded anyone from attempting it. Here's a much easier version that works just as well. Turns out that one flute works as well as two since the guide keeps it so stable. That really simplifies the build.

I was getting something...

[Deward Hastings]

Maybe it's "hiding in plain view" somewhere, but I'm coming up short finding useful information on chosing or optimizing a waveguide profile (contour) that could be applied to a dome tweeter mod/conversion. I've established (for a possible project) a desired depth (AC offset), a maximim diameter...

[augerpro]

So I bought a pair of these a few months ago because I was going to redesign my Delphi and wanted to use a more robust mid dome. I had a feeling these would be good performers and if you've seen Zaph's recent measurements they are really incredible dome mids. Two problems with them though, the AC is...

I know this is not the HTG brand of HiFi but for me and my intended use as HT satellites, there seems to be several positives to going this route:

• Huge sweetspot, like 6' wide. I run a modest FP setup and center channel is NOT happening, as I find it very distracting.

• Can be high sensitivity with
