More photos- We're going with black lacquer on the midhorn to match the black of the tweeter, and as you can see, we made a design decision to take the cabinet all the way up, and avoid the smaller housing for the tweeter. The midhorns are actually oak veneer, in order to highlight the wood's bold grain with the black lacquer.
We've learned a lot from building this pair (and the mid-horns), and if we decide to build another set and double-up our '8's, we'll make changes to the build procedures in order to streamline the process and make it easier. In terms of workmanship and quality, these are going to be very good, but a follow-on pair could potentially be even better.
The cabinets and horns are simple, but they're not, if you know what I mean. More, higher-rez pictures will follow once we do final asembly and have them lacquered and ready to play. Wayne, we're contemplating using rock-wool insulation batt pieces instead of fiberglass- any thoughts? We can easily change it if we don't like it, but with rock-wool becoming available in north america in home centers, I prefer it to fiberglass for any job, even for damping in speakers. Thanks, Wayne, thanks, guys.
