Homemade Speakers

[andyrlb]

I got these when I bought the Atkinson sota’s , no idea if they’re a kit or not .
They’re heavy !
Stands included.

Height: 670mm without stands ( 870mm ) with stands
390mm width
330mm depth

Fully working and for £150 I think it’s good value as the drivers alone would sell for quite a bit more.


Collection only from Milton Keynes.
Need them gone for space

I seem to recall Bush Arena and Tandberg turning out speakers with OEM units from various makers like Goodmans and KEF around 1970. Those remind me of Tandberg designs, as I don't think they favoured ported designs.

a bit like a kef 104 but homemadeKef 104 has a larger B200 for the bass and a passive B139, these are 3 way with a B110 and an active B139, and sealed box I think

[andyrlb]

I’ve just noticed that the coating on one b110 is coming away near the dust cap, I can’t hear any difference compared to the other speaker.

I can see that these for some reason have 2 layers to the cabinets which will explain the weight, the inner casing is definitely chipboard 14/15mm and the outer is also 14/15mm veneered but onto what I can’t say ( more than likely more chipboard) .

aleenes tacky glue will fix that.. or you could use pfa

Used that myself for doping, it's very good. Tidying the B110 shouldn't be too tricky.

The dual wall build may be a constrained layer job.

I don’t think they’d get what I feel they’re worth mate, a pair went for £423 on devilbay ( with bubbling veneer) .

They look like one of the Kef constructor series kits for home assembly, bit like this one with a slightly remodelled layout and cabinet dimensions.

Here’s a list of them all

Although this has a T27 tweeter rather than the T33

[andyrlb]

These have now been stripped so no longer for sale .
