[Zilch]

Well, that's certainly a bunch of 'em.... :applaud:

[grumpy]

those look familiar, somehow ;)

(nice! ... I'm jealous :yes:... and duly motivated)

[merlin]

What's with the silly hat?

Are you a lumber jack?

[matsj]

Merlin :D it´s not a hat. It´s for the cold winthers here in sweden and leather seats . Besides it´s my boss car.

[matsj]

For a week ago 5 boxes turned up from usa. And i´ll have them in my new Cinema/stereo. It´s Le14h-3 and i´ll give thanks to the man who helped me to buy them ( he know who he is ) The other 2 horns will have 2235h under.

My cinema have 4 2245h subs and the h9800/2235h will get 2 2242.

My rack+ a 5 channel Hypex ucd 180 will feed the cinema.

For my 2435hpl drivers i don´t have any pictures yet because they are in usa. I hope they arrive soon.

I'm searchng a woodworker owning a CNC and able to USE it.

Where did you get them made?

[rww1951]

Have a CNC (7 HP 3 PHASE spindle motor) and know how to USE IT! What are you looking to do?

[John W]

Looks great so far. :applaud: I'd love to see some details on the room all this is destined for.

Do you have a crossover plan yet?

[merlin]

Doh! And there was me thinking all the Swedes have warm winters in Southern Thailand.

Nice project. Looking forward to seeing more.

[macaroonie]

I can do that with an angle grinder with a flap disc no problemo senor :p

[Robh3606]

Wow what a killer set-up that's going to be!!

Rob:D

[matsj]

John W: Yes i have a plan. I have bought 28 aircoils and some other parts for it. I´ll make a Zilch filter to them. My room is 8x12 meters

A company in the same town as i work in have made these horns. They used a 5 axled cnc. They are tool makers. The cleaning guy on the company wasn´t happy :D there is a LOT of mdf dust in the machine.

[pos]

Very impressive!
I guess it will be even more impressive when it is finished!

Out of curiosity, where did you find the LE14H-3 and how much did you paid for them?

[Andyoz]

Out of curiosity, where did you find the LE14H-3 and how much did you paid for them?

That's exacatly what I was about to ask - will be interested in the answer. ;)

[caladois]

Me too:bouncy:

[matsj]

In usa 300 usd each + customs+ freight.

[Mr. Widget]

A company in the same town as i work in have made these horns. They used a 5 axled cnc.Very cool... when we made the first one for Project May we tried to do it with a three axis CNC router... didn't work too well due to the required tool extension and physical limitations of the machine. With a 5 axis machine you could even machine them out of solid wood and produce some that are nice looking like JohnW's.

Keep us posted as the system comes together.

A little update:

I got the air coils for the eq filter from Denmark yesterday ( 28 pieces )and i bought 7 battery holders too for the 9 volts battery. I hope the capacitors and inductors also comes.

To mount the drivers on the horns i have also bought 28 special "nuts" with 6 mm thread inside and a wood thread outside.

In coming weekend i´m going to make some fill and painting on the horns.

mats

[matsj]

After some weeks with a lot of work on my job, i got some time this weekend to my speaker project. A friend of mine ( Patrik ) have helped me with the saw. I have maked the steel plates to mount the drivers on and painting the horns.
Tomorrow evening we will put the boxes together with glue and small wood pieces( i don´t know the english word for it, bickies ?), no screw.

For a month ago i bought some veener from an old man and he said i should take all of that he had in his storage, so i got 1000m2 veener for 300 usd :D. There is over 200m2 walnut veener to my speakers :D and he had 180 walnut batten to for 35 usd :D.

My 2435 hpl drivers are still in the us but i hope i´ll get them to christmas.

Some pictures:

OutSTANDING! Matsj, please keep us informed - it looks like fabulous work!
(Wish it was closer so I could have listen when all is done ...!)

[4313B]

Really nice! :yes: :applaud: Sometimes this place isn't so bad after all! :)


After some weeks with a lot of work on my job, i got some time this weekend to my speaker project.Yep. I thought this coming week was going to taper off but... "Oh hell no!" :banghead:
My 2435 hpl drivers are still in the us but i hope i´ll get them to christmas.I missed this thread. :dont-know You should have directed me to it in August so I would have known what was up! :o:

I assume Zilch got those LE14H-3's for you. That's pretty incredible actually, especially five of them. Very good!

[matsj]

Thanks hjames.

4313B: No problems i know you got much to do and i don´t want to stress you . Yes he helped me.

There is coming more pictures tomorrow night.

Nice work so far. Congratulations!

I was afraid the project had died, but now it's back to life! :dancin:

[Jan Daugaard]

Hi Mats

It's wonderful to see that you are making progress.

It won't be long before I send you a SolidWorks drawing of the horn of which my avatar is a cross-section.

[richluvsound]

Mats,

nice work !

Rich

[timc]

Very nice!

[macaroonie]

Nice to have the tools aint it. Have you any pics of the cutter head at work ?:applaud:

[matsj]

After som work today:

[matsj]

And when i come home i tried this:

[Jakob]

Hej Mats!

First I want to congratulate you to a great job so far. Nice to see that your project is moving forward. I remember when I borrowed your 2482 horns some years ago. Back then it was all about 2226's and 2446's and the drivers where all over your place!!! I hope You will invite the nordic members for a listen when everythings finished!

I saw You are selling your hypex amps and your driveracks. What will You use instead? Did you try them out? I'm thinking of building the bigger Hypex modules (UcD700), so it would be nice to know what they sounded like.

Regards: Jakob, från snorkalla Göteborg

[matsj]

Hallå Jakob.

The Hypex ucd 180 works really great but there is too much power :) for my horns. I have tested a selfmade Diy 5 watt class A amp and i´m sold on these. So i´ll build more of these.

I have found BSS 366T Crossover for a good price and maybe i get it.

You and everyone else is welcome to visit the south of Sweden.

regards mats

[matsj]

I got some time yesterday and i´ll continue tomorrow and i hope i can try 2 of them in the weekend :). I´ll work with them all week, i have a month to get them ready for my birthday.

I´m still waiting for some stuff for my horns but i have 2 drivers to try with.

mats

[timc]

Nice to see you'r project is progressing :)

[Zilch]

HEY, where's the CONE Mats? ;)

[matsj]

I couldn´t afford working so i bought a blown :D. This is only for drilling the holes.

mats

[matsj]

One speaker is home and tomorrow comes nr2. I´ll have a quick listening before i put veener on them :D.

mats

[rs237]

Hello mats
Good work, but I see you still have these ugly Elko in your amplifier output. Replaced him with a 50µ bypassed film capacitors. You will also need no further Protection Cap .

regards

juergen

[matsj]

Juergen: That is only a test amp :) i´m going to change that in the finnished amp.
Speaker nr 2 is at home but need to be cleaned before entering my livingroom for testing in stereo.

mats

[Zilch]

Poo.

Clean the living room later.

Let's HEAR them! :applaud:

[matsj]

Zilch: :D It was not the livingroom i was going to clean, insíde my speaker for all the dust. I don´t think they play so loud so you can hear them but i think it´s going to be a long night :).

[matsj]

After a bad winther with +300 hours work a month i
today have been cutting veener.

My project have been laying down for some months , since i haven´t got my drivers yet from Usa. My idea when i bought about the drivers where a couple of monts but this is 14 months.

I bought the Le 14h-3 and they arrived safe, good and everything. But the drivers........................................... .....

Zilch helped me to buy them in the states since i didn´t want them to be sendt to europe directly. Thanks Zilch.
After that they where sendt to a company for checking so everything where OK. But then they got stucked.

On sunday i´ll put the Walnut on the speakers and i can say it´s going to be awesome.

[matsj]

Here are som pictures from this weekend and i want to say thank you to Classe for answering all my questions.

[matsj]

A little update:
I got the drivers from US last week and i´m really looking forward to get my speakers playing. My Bias/eq filters and 5x5watt class A amp aint ready yet so i have to work with them someday.

mats

[caladois]

So, what about your last set up ?

Regards Stephane

[dnewma04]

Would anyone happen to have a .dxf file or some other suitable file to throw into a .CNC machine for the H9800? I have been exploring horn options for quite a while and this one is more interesting than most.

[timc]

It sounds better than most too :D
