Ps Please do not look at the lens, I work because they have to gold anodize.

Nicework there Juergen. That is an ambitious design to build. :applaud:

thanks macaroonie, it has made a lot of fun.

Hey Juergen,

that smile on your face is worth a thousand words. You should be very proud

of yourself . They are beautiful . :applaud:

Rich,

Juergen,

congratulations! It is a very fine work. :applaud:
You have let us share your progress within your avatar already, now it has come to a "golden" end.

Your pose scares me. ;) The lady must be very old, so it is a no-no choice. :shock:

Please let us know not only your listening impressions but some measurements too - as far as I know you have the original speaker package.

Rich, Peter,

Thank you for your comments.
I have not quite the original speaker. The 150-4C, I have only to the 32 ohm version, 150-4. Therefore, I can not use the orginal crossover. I will, therefore, only an active crossover and use triamping. According to the findings, I will then build a passive crossover.

And, I think you are much prettier than the original;)

Rich,
I will also make DIY anodising, it is cheaper than powder-coated. But it is very difficult to remove original color:(.
