I need space (and the cash if the truth be known) so these have to go and for reference I still have my Mark Audio Alpair7 versions of the FH3.
Constructed from 18mm CNC cut MDF and finished in real wood ASH veneer with a light oak stain. For the asking price I'll also include a handmade pair the Mk1 outriggers as depicted in the photo of the completed speakers. They are 900mm tall, x 460mm deep x 180mm wide. The outriggers add a little extra to the O/A height and width.
These are excellent performers and might surprice if you have never heard a small FR driver in a BLH design. They are also an ideal introduction into BLH speakers with very high WAF.
There are two massive threads on the DiyAudio forum pages on this speaker design and these very speakers are featured: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/full-range/172937-frugel-horn-mk3-beta-builds.html and here: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/full-range/172605-frugel-horn-mk3.html.
There is also my own thread on builds of these speakers over on the Audio-talk pages: http://www.audio-talk.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3061
Please feel free to ask any other questions regards these beauties or get in touch for a demo. I will post these via insured courier. Collection however preferred, though I could deliver if within reasonable travel for the cost of Diesel fuel.
I'm not looking for silly money for these bespoke hand crafted speakers, I'm looking for around £450 and for that money I think they are a bargain. You'd be looking at upwards to £1000 or more for similar commercial speakers. I'm sure our Marco will vouch for my build quality
