Wow these have taken a long tome to build.......3/4 of a day....although I do have the Top Ribs started at least. The problem. How do you cut a nice smooth circle, anyway it has taken far too long.Attachment 4921
Nearly there daveskis.......good luck with the rest of the project.
Would love to see the finished cabinets which should inspire me to take on the project myself. In the meantime I will do some research on the Tannoy drivers.
Peter I would get your drivers first.....if you haven't already. And just go for it.Quote:

Check the plans, check the measurements, re-check the measurements, re-check the plans.
Half way through attaching square 25mm ply for supports on Panel D(the first internal panels) I discovered I hadn't allowed for the thickness of Panel J. Which placed the other two supports lower on the same face in the wrong position. Fortunately I had only glued and screwed one of these.
Its the only mistake so far..........that I'm aware of.....hope I haven't missed any.
But look its timber you can change anything. I like to think of it as my interpretation of the plans and I can already see where I have improved these cabinets.....of course the proof will be in the listening.
As to your research in to the Tannoy Drivers you get what you pay for and you get a lot. Why are they famous, because they are excellent at what they produce, very good sound.
At last the Top Ribs are ready to attach. It was a little tricky to get right.
The Top Ribs are a different curve to the Lower Ribs, the Serbian Plans have the Horn about 2cm too high in the enclosure......but as I have previously indicated this is structural and should have no impact on sound reproduction. It is a lot easier and I think I prefer the asymmetrical look
Still waiting on my Tasmanian Blackwood Veneer to progress further with the boxes. Attachment 4969

Looking good Dave! Keep the updates coming.
Been following this with some interest, the speakers look great. They must be massive as they appear to dwarf your car!!
Wow. Big Cabinets indeed.
I would not be able to get them out of my apartment when I decide on a house move.:lol:
Well there you go Peter, you can live in them with an annex.Quote:
