Some Lockdown/Camping reading?
Just after I retired, I decided to build these….but,I have few tools.
I got the wood cut to size BUT…they need corner jointing! Had a quote from woodworker -£120!
You MUST be joking!For a few edges?
So, I stood back a while.
Then I recalled Wharfedale making speakers from Formica clad polystyrene!
Had some 4cm polystyrene cut to size; used PVA to ‘size’ the outside; lined the inside with heavy-duty foil wrapping paper
And glued it all together. A revelation to me, after years of -first Klipsch, then A-garde Duos, -was the sound. Such imagery, plus they had bass!
They sit as desk-side units by the iMac, using a Kingrex usb amp from lossless downloads in the Mac. They were SO impressive, they persuaded me to swap the Duos for the Calliopes (both full-range; Zigs and Ocellias).
Argh! sideways pic! Sorry!
The chair is from Algarve - arab influence? cushion a Camel-bag. Sagrada Familia screensaver.
Zigmahornets!!
