Hello everyone,
Here are some pictures of my summer project thanks to the threads relating to 4671, 4507, 2370A in this forum.

Hey, Keith,

Nice job on you system!! Did you veneer it, or use hardwood ply, then stain? Looks great! How does it sound to you? What sort of performance are you getting out of it? Again, well done, Keith, and thanks for sharing it with us. Take care, and God Bless!

Every Good Wish,
Doc

Hi Doc,
Thanks for your kind word.

After I saw this:

I started my project. jbl/Ron made a beautiful system. I wanted the same system.
I used Baltic Birch plywood and followed this to use walnut veneer:

Then nex step was oil finish. I followed this to use Watco oil finish:

I like this system very much. Sounds very nice.

I was inspired by this thread.

So which actual drivers and crossovers are you using? The cabinets came out really nice! 'Any chance of some audio measurements?

Components I used for this project are:

2 x 077 (mikey, thank you for the picture.)
2 x 2425J
2 x 2370A
2 x 2226H (John, thank you for these woofers.)
2 x 3106
2 x 3110A (John, these are from you, too.)

The system sounds very much clearer than any other system I have at home. It took me a while to adjust to obtain this sound. I get punchy LF and HF is just right for my ears. I can sit about 6 feet away and bring the volume louder without any discomfort. I have to worry about my hearing though.
