#1 Dovedale mk 3
Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2023 6:39 pm
As I've just finished my definitive power amps , that didn't turn out to be definitive as I realised an aesthetic improvement halfway through. Alas
I am now turning my attention speakers
It will be my third remodelling of a wharfedale dovedale .
Picked some very nice empty cabs , very nice venner in excellent condition . With this version I'm going to use parts from China , to see if there crap or as I suspect , simply a lot cheaper .
Picked up some tweeters , which have the same design as my seas ones for a fifth of the price .same magnet , same dimensions and same diaphragm .
And a pair of dome mid range drivers , which are as expensive than the only commercial ones I can find , but they look good and there from China , so Im keeping the theme .
More to follow .
Post script.
I thought about buying from China , the pros and the cons , in the end I couldn't see the difference from buying from a western capitalist country and a pseudo capitalist country , except for the snobbery and potentially libellous comments of the former towards the latter .
