Dear Friends,
I recently found a pair of celestion Ditton 551 speakers without the cabinets.
As a diy project I took It up and built the cabinets.But to my utter dismay they sounded very bass heavy and boomy bass. I have tried all sorts of damping and the cabinet volume is also accurate.I have even tried to remove the port and make it a sealed enclosure but still the bass is eating up the midrange. please note that the midrange of these speakers are to die for and its awesome! I am having sleepless nights and I feel that my wife is gonna leave me the next time I try to open them up.
Someone please help me and post the photos of the internal cabinet design and damping if they have these speakers, as I really want to keep them. I am running the speakers with a NAD 3155 amp or simultaneously with A Sansui AU-717, both are giving the same results.
Thanking You all in advance, please do post an inside photo of the cabinet if possible.
Amit.
