Hi Reffc,
Your speakers are just beautiful!
I really admire your woodworking skills and the contrasting color of the vertical rails on the baffle. I would love to drop in for a listen but I'm across the pond in the USA. Outstanding project!

They're actually sold now to a music lover from Bristol, and they're very much missed but had to make way for the next speaker project. I still have all the plans and my tweaked HPD crossover circuit so when funds permit, intend on making another pair, this time perhaps finished in Birds Eye Maple.

I build speakers too.... it's a psychosis, don't you think?

Absolutely it is. I've designed several pairs this year including some large corner cabs for Tannoy drivers and built two pairs but have another two new designs in the pipeline for a small 2-way and a large 3-way. It becomes something of an addiction and I'm not quite sure what the antidote isJazzman53 wrote:I build speakers too.... it's a psychosis, don't you think?
For all the scale that the Fidelios could muster, I do find myself listening to music more with the Rhapsody speakers and that has to be a good thing.
