With the increasing popularity lately of the classic vintage styled large box format loudspeakers from manufacturers such as Wharfedale, KLH, PSB and others, I have set out to design and build my own version. It is a typical 3-way design with a tweeter, 4 inch mid-range and 8 inch woofer. The dimensions are roughly 600mm high, 300mm wide, and just short of 400mm deep. The result is a high-end loudspeaker that has loads of detail and balance across the frequency range. Despite the wide baffle, the sound stage and imaging is still top notch, and when positioned right, they will still disappear into the background. This is a high-end loudspeaker, and building the cabinet will require some intermediate to advanced woodworking skills.
*NOTE: The Punktkilde drivers are ONLY available from Soundimports.eu in Europe, and are in limited supply. Before purchasing the BUILD PLANS, make sure that the drivers are still in stock in the quantity you will require. See the links below.

Amazing speakers! This is probably the 10th video I watched in a row, and I enjoy watching you building these masterpieces! I want to build my own two active bookshelf speakers, and I'm glad I did found your channel, so I can learn something more before I start building them. Do you have a video or article explaining how to measure space needed for certain speakers and how to separate enclosure etc? Also, I would love to understand how to pick up parts for speaker assembly, how they work, what's the best for certain built etc. I'm absolute amateur in speaker build or any sort of audio engineering and I want to learn more before I order parts and speakers for build. I'm a carpenter and should be able to build any sort of enclosure without problems, but I have absolutely no clue what to install in that enclosure for a sound I want from it. Thank you for great videos, I already learned a lot from you, and I'm enjoying watching your videos

Thanks. I don't have particular content that goes into much of the detail that you mention. However, I do aim to bring more of that content into my projects. It took me a good 5 to 10 years to learn the basics of speaker design and become fairly good at it, and a lot has to do with the equipment required to properly be able to do it. However, I am still learning with every project I take on! Being able to measure your speakers accurately and to model a crossover is key to designign and making your own. For most, just starting to build a kit or from a build plan is a good start.

Very nice job! Even though it's not what I use for listening, I still have a soft spot for those old school designs like this. I'm currently collecting parts to build replicas of the Altec Model Nineteen studio monitors but even though I do have a table saw and a CNC, I'm a little worried about getting clean enough miter cuts. The plan is to use MDF with the veneer already on it but any glitch at all in the miter cuts will mess this up. Thing is, I've heard that getting veneer to look good isn't very easy either but you definitely made it look easy. So I'm not sure if I should use raw MDF and veneer it or try to get clean miter cuts on veneered MDF. It's going to be quite a project, the eBay acquired woofers will need new cones and none of the aftermarket cone rebuild kits are quite correct. One issue is the vented dust cap, I basically have to make them. I have a source for caps with the vent cut and no screen and a different source for the correct screen so I have to put the two together. I found a pair of dividing networks in Japan but probably won't use them. Instead I plan to machine the face plates on the CNC, get them anodized and make the Altec logo skins for them on the laser etcher. The crossover itself is relatively simple assuming I can find the correct L-Pads. I wish I had your skills, even with the CNC etc I don't think I can make cabinets that look as good as you did with the project in this video. Normally I'm not too worried about cosmetics but for these Model Nineteen replicas I want them to look good. Any tips on whether to use veneered MDF and just be really careful cutting the miters or use raw MDF and put the veneer on after?

This speaker sounds great above 200 hz. Bass a bit too boomy in my headphones. Room mode or speaker mode? A fun speaker to listen to. Side note, barefoot in the shop? No nails or wood splinters laying around? Keep up the great work. You and Danny (GR research ) take the lead.

Did you consider going with a mirrored pair? My friend, who had two speaker companies, built them that way. He would put a foam gasket around the edge of the drivers when installing them to make them airtight and help prevent any buzzing of the cabinet. He held twp U.S. patents on speaker design.

At most mediocre ones , which are designed for car audio. Bravox, Audiophonic, Hurricane and the one I consider the most, NAR. On the other hand, I think subwoofers are OK.

This is one phenomenal build , i just have one dumb question: does the vibration from subwoofer affect the sound that tweeter and mid make? is it more optimal to put each in separate enclosure? how would one avoid that considering regardless of where in room you put the other two , the sub will still shake the other two drivers as well Thank you for your insane content
@SoundBlab
@SoundBlab 5 ай бұрын
Thank you! Many have made loudspeakers with separate enclosures for each driver, and I am sure it has some benefit, however it is not always very practical. I think the relatively small gain from separate enclosures outweigh the cost involved in manufacturing separates. Not sure how much a subwoofer will affect other speakers in the same room, but again I think we are talking very small gains, if any at all. If enclosures are well built, I think that each driver will perform at its optimal on its own, without interference from others.

@SoundBlab
@SoundBlab 5 ай бұрын
Thanks! A sealed enclosure will make the bass woofer roll off earlier and thus provide less bass extension. Typically it will roll off around 60 to 80Hz. There is lots of debate around which enclosure type gives better bass, ported, sealed, etc. The answer is not clear and very much up to personal opinion/experience. However in this case, you will lose a lot of bass, so I would not recommend it.

its pretty easy just use mdf primer first (mdf soaks up a lot of paint so best to prime first)

Hi,can you do a version of Wavecor drivers? Because Wavecor driver has the same diam 223 and 120. I guess the enclosure dimension is almost the same. And you can get Wavecor driver everywhere. I already buy the plan and it's really great, but get the Punktkilde driver is not easy and shipping is costly.

Such a shame the plans have been discontinued literally a few months after making this video. Any plans for an updated version please? Lovely work as always, cheers very much

Sund! I just stumbled upon this video, just to find out it's discontinued. I love the classic style you've used in the project. Is there any plan on re-releasing the plans?

I'll be doing a similar build later in the year with drivers that are better value for money and more easily available.

Thanks for the video. The bass on these speakers sound natural. What frequency is the port tuned?

@@SoundBlab I've listened to your sample audio tracks playing these speakers. I concur your measurements translate to these sound demo. I think you've achieved a musical speaker following a linear but slightly tilted frequency towards the highs via implementing a 3rd order crossover in the tweeter. Kudos to you, I've subscribed to your channel and I will be looking forward to your future build.

This is not a very old video, why do the plans show as discontinued at your site? Excellent video and woodworking skills, very nice!

Thanks. The drivers for this build is in very limited availability. I have decided to rather discontinue the plans to avoid issues in getting parts. I will replace this project with a build including drivers that are perhaps better value for money and more easily available, soon.

Two questions - are plans still available and do the plans include directions for the stands? Very excited about this project!

Still available. The plans include a basic drawing of the stands with dimensions. It’s really easy to build.

Are the magnets on the midbass and midrange drivers vented? I couldn't quite see. Thank you. Also the crossover designs just about made my eyes pop out of my head! Yikes!

I usually secure my crossovers with velcro. My only criticism is that protruding beveled front edge which is terrible for diffraction . Otherwise well done!
