Re: Latest build pictures
Yad, those are very nice!! The use of exotic wood veneers sure can make all the difference. What veneer have you used?
I have not found many pictures on diy builds using EXOTIC veneers, i would love to see what else people have out there????? Its good inspiration!
Ebay has been a great scource for some very unusual veneer.

Yad, would you mind doing a veneering tutorial for the rest of us dummies? :bigsmile:
I'd love to learn how to do veneer like you guys. I usually have to use birch to get such a nice finish. Even then, it's never quite like that!

Original Ekta Grande of Troels Gravesen is here. http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/ektagrande.htm
Original construction - is perfect stuff for DIY!!! There are all specifications at this link.
My modifications:
1) i used 2 quasi-separated volumes for LF.
2) Another volume for MF: i used aperiodic (like)IB enclosure (while original was CB)
3) Position of all drivers are closer to the center line of speaker. The box is little wider.
4) Little-bit changed filters

Yad: those are some great looking speakers, the veneers are really classy 
Regarding the aperiodic enclosures, have you made one (you brought that up sort of 'out of the blue'...)? In my N7R speakers I was going for that general shape however in steel (at reasonable cost) the well pressure tanks were the best match I could find

The idea was to create the box without inside's rectangular shape and without parallel walls inside. But i did have rectangular outside shape. So, the result - is to put curved surface into the rectangular box. It kills the most number of standing aves inside) The result is audible. In aperiodic enclosure gives less coloration. But sounds more fresh and detail, then the box extremely damped with the fiberglass.
Oh; yes, I meant you brought up the topic of aperiodic enclosures "out of the blue" (I couldn't see where someone asked you about them, I didn't realize you were putting them inside of a box). Do you have any internal pictures of your speakers? I would be interested to see how you made the aperiodic shape in the box.

Without speakers and circuits the pair of those custom made boxes were approx. 1500-1600 euros.
