sootshe Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Made up a fame with 12mm x 12mm Tassie Oak held by right angle brackets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootshe Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Then veneered the front below the tweeter horn so you can't see any of the joins in the timber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootshe Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Timber block was 115mm x 115mm laminated cypress pine....cut to shape as you can see. Rubber buffers underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootshe Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Much prefer the sound with the tweeters in this position....more detail & more open sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plato801 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Maybe you should patent these Aztec looking devices. They remind me of the VPI magic blocks that acted as a magnetic filter for electronic equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Much prefer the sound with the tweeters in this position....more detail & more open sound. If you have them moved towards the back, are the tweeter and mid driver lined up? If they are, the time alignment will probably be the difference you are hearing. I mounted a pair of APT150s in baffles and moved them to the back of my LS, lined up with the K55. A dramatic improvement!Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a definite difference.....all positive.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Physics Dept. was cleaning and threw it out, so I took it home. They had used it for demonstrations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Kevin http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/114742/1157325.aspx#1157325 This is the link to the original thread which shows the build process. I've turned them around so that the front faces the rear wall. Any more questions just let me know. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
