A Nice Little Find!

[dc270]

Did some trading around recently and came across these little gems. Appear to have nice 6" cast frame Eaton honey comb mid woofers, .75" Seas tweeres and -12db/oct networks with durable .75" mdf cabs with a faux marble veneer. They can take power quite well ande the sound is deceptively good!

The woofers are bolted through with 8 T-nuts wach so somebody was serious about mounting their drivers!

Thought the good folks here would enjoy seeing some custom built small stuff for a change! I am using them with my Yammie B-2 & SA7500 preamp combo- make for a very nice sound-the bass is respectable from these and the top end is very smooth & open.

Now even your speakers can blend in with your kitchen countertop! :

Glad they sound good - those woofers look like they were put in there in a Discount Tire shop rather than a DIY project.

The roll off sounds about in the 50 hz range- that little port can sure throw out the low end! Most amazing was the high end however- it was quite soft & open sounding, loads of detail, well constructed & designed. Guess I'll make a couple grill covers and keep them around a while. It's been a long time since I heard a small speaker this good- a pleasant surprize!

OH YES INDEED! You would think they were made from solid marble!

Cool little speakers, looks like someone did a nice job. I like the marble.

Those tweeters absolutely sing with a well designed crossover - I've used them at 4500 Hz, 12 dB/oct with very enjoyable results.

Look like a fine DIY setup - enjoy!

I think I figured the marble thing out, it is floor tile that somebody cut down for veneer! Rather creative I think.

I too agree- that tweeter really makes the sound these offer. Super detailed, very smooth. I would be interested to know what other designs might have used this tweeter!
