    I'm glad you liked the thread.

    The speakers are still amazing. At some point I upgraded the 2425s to TADs, they are so smooth. I'm powering them with Brystons now, I think they sound better but...

    Not my speakers, but I have heard them and they are pretty impressive, I'm interested to see the plans too.

    Please tell us more about your CNC setup. You stick plywood in one end and speakers pop out the other?

    This was more interesting when I thought you meant 5 milliliters.

    It's not ok. It has to be air tight. Don't even think about sealing it with silicone caulk. What exactly is causing the fitment...

    I use Linkwitz-Riley alignment on my 4345's, but the other Bryston models are more flexible, which is nice.

    The HF section of your 4350's is going to be more sensitive than the LF. Look up the...

    You don't need both adjustments, the goal here is just to adjust for the sensitivity difference between low and high, so you only need one adjustment. You don't need any if you have gain controls on...

    Girlfriend? Dude, you are fine. Stock up before you put the band on the hand!



    Many of us have used Crown PS-200/PS-400 for our 4345's, great amps and just a few hundred bucks.

    I went with the original drivers when I built mine, 2245/2122/2425/2405.

    The 2123 was more obtainable even back then, but I decided to go with 2122's because I thought they would be a better match...

    I would probably remove the lpad from the 2420 and add a small fixed attenuation instead.

    Edit: On second thought, less is more and this leg already has 6dB of attenuation. So I'd start with...

    Maybe I shouldn't have assumed that "modified for bi-amp" meant "biamp-only". If biamp-only then it would be pretty standard to remove one of the lpads and reduce attenuation on the other to...

    If you're biamping, you only need one lpad per speaker, right? Why not just twist a pair? I use an electric drill, takes about 5 seconds. For three-four conductors you can braid them if you're...

    ERO makes all kinds of caps, those mkt1813's are highly regarded but in general you should stick with polypropylene (KP or MKP) for the large value caps.

    Tube amps are the killer, because they run at a few hundred volts. Typically the highest voltage in solid state amps is the 120V (for the US) mains voltage.

    Also most amps have bleeder resistors...

    I used 4" ABS from Home Depot, press fit into a precisely routed hole. The hole was stepped so that you can't see the cut edge of the ABS from the front of the speaker.

    I used 1" (actually 24mm) throughout with more bracing than the stock design.



    Have you considered doing something fancy like sandwiching a layer of damping material in there as well?

    Nobody has mentioned yet how MDF will dull your blades. And even a few drops of water will cause it to blister, a lot and it will degrade and fall apart.

    I added it all up when I finished, I think it was a couple grand. That might include the crossovers. I'll have to check on my other computer, I'll let you know in a couple days.
