Macca's Lash Up 2: Lash Harder

[Pigmy Pony]

You'd have to speak with the blokes doing the work. There's a solution to most problems and not necessarily costly. And if it needs done to get your listening room how you want it, that's pretty important.

Yes, not sure what that would be though. Anyway that's a long way off yet.

As we get older, we find that nothing is a long way off. Except delivery of new speakers, that'll seem like an eternity.

[CageyH]

I think maybe late September at the earliest for delivery. There's a bit of a queue.

Ports back or front is just aesthetics, it doesn't matter unless you want to jam the speaker right against the wall.

September is almost over. Any update?

15” should be great. To have something like that, I would have to rearrange my “listening” room (aka Man Cave).

Middle to end of October.

I was being a bit optimistic with end of September, I think. There's a lot of work involved and there's two or three builds scheduled before mine.

I'm having the fronts done matt black, I don't like those pinstripes. Castors fitted which will bring them up to the right height and make them easier to move and position.

Not sure what the weight of them is but I'd guess well over 40 kilos each.

There'll be an external resistor on the back which can be easily swapped out to alter the level of the tweeter.

Nice to have I guess, but I don't imagine it will be used while you're running that Sony pre.

Yes. I was in two minds about it but in the end I thought I might as well have the option, just in case.

Some people who've built them say they can be a bit sharp in the top end, but they all opted for the Be tweeter whereas being a cheapskate I've gone for the less expensive fabric dome one.

Whether the Be tweeter is the cause of that I don't know. Seems unlikely, and there could be several other causes, but time will tell.

[Pigmy Pony]

I don't think you could ever be accused of being a cheapskate. 'Canny' perhaps, and there's nowt wrong with that. Looking forward to hearing these new speakers, I haven't heard any of Jason's stuff.

I've had a listen to a couple of the TG designs that he's made. Seems to do good work.

Can you post a photograph of your bespoke speakers please Martin? We can't wait until mid October!
