Anyone interesting DIY high end loudspeaker?

Hello all, anyone interesting on this topic? Currently I'm building the loudspeaker design by Tony from humble hifi. Now I'm planning to setup a small show room at JB, Setia tropika.

Some of current DIY project

Interesting, which series of model you are planning to diy?

Bro, currently soup ceramique MKII was completed and really for display. Another project was concerto. I will built extended type. Now the kit was just received. Hope can complete within a month.

hi bro, u should try putting some of the pictures and diagram of the speakers u have built for us to have interest in building it.
what would be the cost of building a pair like?

Bro Alferd, thanks ur advice:). cost to built soup ceramique was around MYR 11K without cabinet. Cabinet cost 4K to 6K depend on the finishing. Can PM me for the HD pdf cabinet drawing.

Interesting. The drivers cost USD3500. How are you gonna build the cabinet? And what cabinet materiel do you have in mind? What about the x-over?

Cabinet build by me n my friend. Use 25mm thick MDF. One cabinet weight about 40kg. X-over diagrams:

This is a great project indeed. Thank for sharing all the info. You are indeed a much better DIYer than me.

Remember to share with us the speaker shot. Also, pls report the SQ if possible, I am really curious to know.

Wow... this is not an easy job. Hope to see the real pics soon.

My amp was class A amp. Completed only Nelson F5. Ongoing amp project was Aleph X-100 and F5 turbo V2. But currently vy busy with car GPS tracker system. That one can SMS n stop ur car engine plus know ur car location. Later I show u the heatsink at my stock.

Bro ihgan, are you interesting on this type of heatsink? Anyway, recently i just bought one 300B from china, shipping on the way, let you know the sound after tested cause the wood chasis was mostly use by tube DIY." border="0" />

ihgan is me?

Ya, I'm only interested in wood chassis as I only DIY my tube amps. Not going to buy retail, not worth it.

Bro, the 300B class A output 8watt I bought only cause RM2900 only, but don't the sound yet:)

Good luck mate! I've met fantastic 2A3 clones before from China, owned by my friend at Prai.

Hi hotdog,
If thats your crossover assembly on some ply and P2P, I think it deserve a better build. Last year, I helped someone build a Xover, solder in components to the ori schematic, and owner was wise to acquire all the components from Octave. The main and vital component from Octave was a FRP multipurpose PCB which is a good size and very suitable for P2P wiring for similar xover like yours. Sorry, I ain't sure how much it cost, but I feel it'll make your assembly look more professional. Regards!

Hi Hotdog
.
I saw the picture of the crossover and reminded me of my build of the Ob5 and V2 from GR Research ( listed in Audiocircle ). I hide the crossover in the cabinet and the untidy work is only known by me
I have no work work skills and very basic electronic knowledge. manage to complete it after about 6 months of waiting for the carpenter to finish the cabinet !
The sense of achievement is very satisfying and of course i love the speakers in sight and sound .

Hope you will post more pictures as you go along .

keep up the good work .

regards

Hi Ryanling,
I have kept a few extra pairs
of Tannoy ICT 6&1/2" drivers.

Its a full range driver and it needs no crossover.

Hi Peter,
  May I know where did you get the cabinet made?

My friend from Guangzhou order it online from Tao Bao and he brought them back to me.
The cabinet is made from bamboo, very solid.
They provide grille as well.

Hi Peter,
   Good choice...

   I was hoping a carpenter with the right skill is available locally.
