DIY Speaker Project PAD

Encouraging,  depending on what Mark at Meniscus tells me about price and availability, I'm inclined to go that route. I love the detail and clarity of the Kairos speakers, but I then having a woofer will add a dimension of depth and fullness that I  miss.

I've completed my Kairos speakers and I'm very pleased with how they sound and am now thinking about adding the woofer to them. I'm curious about how that worked out for you. Specifically,  can you say something about the sound?

Perfect. I kind of thought that would be your answer.  I will be using a thicker veneer that I will resaw from a very nice piece of canarywood that I've had kicking around for a couple of years. It will be close to 1/16" thick, so I will have less danger of sanding through. Thank you very much ...

Just got my Kairos kit and am getting ready to build the enclosures. I have a question regarding through trim on your Kairos unit... how did you do the round over on the top, given the angle of the baffle?

Being a woodworker myself, all I can say is WOW!! I'm impressed and inspired. I've been wanting to build a pair of Kairos speakers for a long time and plan to get started next month. Your design for the enclosure very much appeals to my sense of asthetics and makes me more anxious to get started. Th...

I think I posted my impressions too soon. Now that they have more hours on them, I like them,
especially given my purpose for them which is to provide music for me when I'm engaging in my woodworking hobby. I'd have to say, I got more than my doĺlar's worth of value from them.

Earlier, I posted a question asking if anyone had experience with the Caritas kit. Judging from the number of viewings, I guess many others are interested. While I didn't get any qualitative answers, I decided to get one anyway. Since the speakers were to go in my garage to keep me in musical compan...

I'd be interested in hearing from anyon who has built one of these, namely how does it sound. I built a pair of Overnite Sensations that I like, so I'd be interested in knowing if anyone can contrast Overnite Sensation with Caritas. I'm thinking of building a couple as a graduation gift for a friend...

Thanks, I think I'm gonna take your advice. I'm curious, though... I looked up the SDX-10 and see in the notes on the spec sheet that they suggest a sealed 24 liter box (just under 1 cubic foot) stuffed with 16 oz of polyfill. What effect will the larger size you suggested have on the sound?

Thanks for the reply, Jeff. I've never had a sub before and really know little about them. I'm not into home theater, just stereo, and my listening taste include mainly instrumental classical music... orchestral, chamber, and piano. I guess I'm a little insecure about whether a sub, and particularly...

Thanks... I know that's true, and I,m reasonably confident it would make me happy, but I'm hoping to hear from some folks who have actual experience with one.

I just completer a pair of Sopranos... they sound wonderful, but they could use a sub. I'm considering the Baby Boomer, but have not seen anything on it. Has anyone out there built it, and I'd be interested in hearing about impressions.

I've built several speaker systems with mdf and found a method I favor. First, I like raw wood veneer, but I've had good luck with paper backed veneer also. For raw wood veneer, I use cold press glue in a vacuuum press. With paper backed veneer, I use solvent based contact cement and I use the edge ...
