OK folks - this week we're going to give some mouth-to-mouth to a DIY thread. Although, I see Angelo (Angelo888) is a Trade Member.
Anyway, this is thread number 653 from June 2008 - 'A Bass Horn is Born'.
Mike said something in one of his posts there about the sensitivity of some of the speakers in question, but I think the comment applies to the whole original post, to be honest:
Some of the linked photos are no longer visible (to me anyway) but I think you can see everything if you try the links in the original post.Quote:
Christ on a Bike!!!!
So here it is:

If anyone has suggestions for suitable threads, they should PM me.
Mouldy Oldie time again.
Back on DIY speakers - open baffles this time.
This one came from Joerg (Tolstoi) back in February 2009

It is Sunday night.......right? Good, well then, in that case it's time for a furtle about in the AoS under-garments to see what we can find.
Still with speakers this week, and the high frequency units thereof.
This one, thread no. 1235, came from Brian (Labarum) back in October 2008.

.........wassat ya say?...............it's Wednesday?.........oops!
I don't know about 'From the Grave' – this one's from the dawn of time as far as The Art of Sound is concerned – so it's a little bit more like 'From the Maternity Ward'
Marco posted Thread Number 9 from the 22nd of January 2008, when The Art of Sound was only 6 hours old………or 6 hours after the first post anyway (6 hours to the minute, in fact!)
.......a bit of a victim of thread drift, but the subject is interesting. I chimed in waaaay after the fact to try & bring it back to base, but it slipped through the net - I guess everyone who had an opinion had already expressed it. Maybe some of the newer members have something to add. Or maybe some of the original posters have some new experiences...........?
Anyway, here's the thread:

Back on the subject of vintage gear again this week. I don't necessarily agree with some of the opinions expressed here but the premise of the original post is an interesting question.
I've got 3 questions:
So just how far have we come since the good/bad old days?
Is the art advancing or is there nothing new under the sun?
How many posts do you need to turn a discussion about an Audio Research SP10 preamp into one about a Technics turntable?
So this one was thread number 707 & it came from June 2008.
It was started by Purite Audio sorry Mr Purite, I still don't know your real name.....
.........and was called 'Were Vintage Components Ever Any Good?'

While paddling around in the backwaters of The Art of Sound this week, I found this floating just under the surface.
It's that Marco bloke again.
From February 2008 comes Thread No. 98:

Ah yes, this one's great - I'd forgotten all about it till I stumbled across it on my Sunday evening rummage.

More dusted off delight from the vaults!
Seeing as we've been discussing bi-wiring of late, here's an old one on the subject you may not have seen.
I especially love the reference to 'uninsulted cables' (!!!!!!!!) in the self confessed 'technical explanation'.
It's quite an old one this - Thread Number 221 from February 2008 and it
was posted by PJDowns (Paul).
