Thanks! That is 3/4" Pine, edge glued strips, usually sold as a shelf haha.Keryn O'Shea wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 5:46 am Which species of timber is that Linus, and is it a stained finish? The colour is so nice.. also backmounting drivers to me looks much cleaner, more work but worth it.
Imagine how amazing the sound is going to be with a proper bottom end... you could drag in one of your T60s
I used stain, just a little black in the mix, nothing special but i got the advice from a local colour shop
I used a sponge to smear it out, i think four times, letting it dry up between.
I should have used hot water on the wood before using the stain, it was my first time doing this and if you dont put hot water on the wood before you stain it, you get these small fibers to rise up and get sharp and difficult to remove, mainly where i used the router with the 45° angle on all the holes in the baffle.
Yeah if i would do another TLAH i would not backmount the drivers again soo much time and work, but yeah i also think it looks really nice!
A frame and black cloth is also very good looking at that shape, and its possible to do something cool with that also
Yeah i was thinking of trying my AT indoors with the TLAH, its a bit easier to move around than one of the T60s hehe.
Me and my wife sat down and had a listen do these speakers, and we were more and more amazed of how they sound, the more i listed the more i love them, they are bright yes, but after a couple of hour playing they got more fullnes, warmth and bass. (My wife should not hesitate one second to tell me if the speakers i spent much time to build sounded good or bad to her haha!)
The sensitivity is something else and the way they can make a voice really sound authentic and real is very cool.
The soundstage they present is something i never heard before, you get besides of left/right a very deep and 3D image of the sound, and with a good sized room thats more like 30-40 m² with some kind of acoustic treatments like diffusers and maybe some absorbers i cant imagine how good these could sound, paired with a couple of Bills amazing subwoofers it would make the perfect stereo soundsystem for me.
Bill, i liked that article you sent, very good reading!
