Hi Folks,

I finally got my "mistake" drivers mounted in boxes and hung on
the wall. They are sort-of a 1 Pi corner thing. With the loudness
turned on, they go suprisingly deep. Not chest thumping, but nice
for moderate listening levels. I've posted several photos. I really
like the "odd" wood I got from HD. I don't think I could have found
veneer as nice without trying hard. The finish is two coats of Tried
and True varnish oil and one of wax. Trim is walnut to match the
2 Pi's, center channel, and sub I made. The shelves were custom made
for this project.

Surround 1 Pi's

What I get accomplish is leaving them uncovered. While see them as
small, my wife thinks they are sort-of big, and aren't "done" until
I get grills put on. Anyone know where I can get blonde grill cloth?
The drivers were a mistake because when I ordered them, I had meant
to order the smaller Fostex for the center and got these instead.
I just kept them.

Chris

I hate to follow up my own message just for corrections, but this
was too bad to not fix. :^)

"finished" until I get grills put on.

Cool stuff Chris! I like how they take up virtually no room too - kinda hidden on the wall.

Did you find the whizzer cone on the Fostex there to cause any audible problems with the tweeter such as comb filtering etc?

I haven't had much listening time, but so far I can't tell. The Fostex do go up pretty high before rolling off, maybe 12K-14K. The
sound stage seems really wide (imaging?), so maybe there's something,
maybe not. I'll get more time on them over the next few days so
I can post more impressions. Maybe I'll try out the Berhinger
reference mic I bought and see if I can graph them.

Those are cool looking speakers and I like your design. The Fostex units that I've heard sounded very nice, so I suspect you've got a great pair of speakers there.

I used the 168 sigmas in my center - you can see it here:

I cross mine over before the whizzer can do anything, but I really have been pleased at their mid woofer performance in my modified Heresy center channel.
