New to me, but really nice looking speakers. Anyone have a clue on a kit? I did a quick check in the "kit" section and didn't find them. No idea if they sound any good, but sure look like they might pass the WAF test.

Here's is the info on them

I'll read up on that. One of the few speakers I've seen (DIY) that really struck me AND would fit my decor!

Thanks for the reply!

If they sound half as nice as they look , they would be spectacular.

this is the speaker always wanted to build!

They are a design by Dan Neubecker called the Echelons that won the $200+ class in the Parts-Express 2012 Midwest Audio Fest. Build thread in the PE forums http://techtalk.parts-express.com/showthread.php?231246-Introducing-Echelon

Looks like a minimum $1200 investment in drivers alone, but the specs are quite impressive. I would guess it would be awful hard to match MSRP today with a factory speaker system. In other words could be a bargain. I could handle the construction, got the tools and the skills, but I would have to save up some for those drivers.

I would like to know why he went for the tweeter he did, instead of the matching Neo 3 tweeter.

very nice build!

 

[peepaj]

I don't know why he used that tweeter, but I can tell you that they sound as impressive as they look. I heard them at NWAF.

The cabinet build looks like a wood version of the B&W Matrix design. I guess if you want an acoustically dead cabinet, that's the way to do it.

I doubt they're very good. The two people on the cover are behind the speakers looking out the window, apparently not listening to the speakers! :scratch2:

Absolutely! I have a pair of little original Matrix 1's that sound amazing and weigh a ton.

That hot blond is the only view I would need. What a dish. :drool:

For that matter who needs speakers!
