Thank you for all the responses, both the nice ones and the bad. This isn't the first speaker I've ever built. It is actually my 6th high end DIY speaker. For those interested, here's another example of a speaker I built long ago: www.hifimusic.co.il/%D7%A4%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%98-DIY-%D7%9E%D7%A4%D7%AA%D7%99%D7%A2-i3.html Besides that, I can tell you that before I built this speaker in this version I made it from wood - inspired by the b&w design. It's a shame I can't add a picture here, but I'll try to make another video for you, where I'll show you the older version. Besides, I will upload another video of a DIY speaker that I built, using Focal 11' woofers, Mid-woofers - 7' Eton, Morel Supreme and and Aura Bass - 15' used by many different high end companies.

An extreme labour of love... absolutely extraterrestrial !! Use them in good health. Infinite congratulations... just thought the wood of the mid-range looked much better that the carbon fiber. Especially with the beautifully matched grain pattern. Literally no words to express my gut feeling about these !!!

Hey Avi what kind of cross over did you use? Difficult to identify from the video. I am Trying to build some more modest ones but how could I find better inspiration than your work! Thanks for sharing.
this speaker im sure sounds 100% better than b&w (is a cheap wood design) this alluminium is so much better made and cheap too
@j3andme9984 жыл бұрын
@@Bulldog_DK Nope. In almost every way, plywood and chipboard (they now used exclusively plywood rather than chipboard, whether stacked or formed like b&w does, is a better sounding material than aluminum. Especially when bituminous damped like a b&w. I have things I don't like about modern b&w, but I can promise you the Matrix cabinet (I have an early iteration) is the business. Mine is just a big box, no sexy curves, and the lack of box coloration is astounding. As a result, you can really place the speaker perfectly and get outstanding sound, or you can just kind of plop them anywhere and get merely good sound.

@@j3andme998 When B&W uses aluminum for the far more important midrange then it's fine? This guy did the exact opposite and in the right places. In addition, the goal is to deaden low resonant frequencies, and this kind of armored aluminum wall is a far superior solution.
@mariusloubeeka58106 жыл бұрын

@@Canadian_Eh_I Except that he didn't stay true to the iconic and tested N 800 design by altering some of its most critical design elements. This is therefore strictly a gratuitous show of money. One of the best examples of this is the carbon fiber wrapped wooden midrange enclosure, which adds absolutely nil engineering benefit to the design, and in fact is a bit of a deceit, as the structure is indeed NOT made of carbon fiber (a suboptimal material for speaker enclosures anyway).

Вообще, по технологии,алюминиевую колонку нужно было нагреть, чтобы снять внутреннее напряжение Металла.
