Liked the fabric behind the HF face, but doing that seems like you might need to give the LF a Belle treatment of sorts to balance that. The classic look and the lighting in there makes for a good display here. The acoustic panels in my experience are great. Every room should have at min first reflection covered with even drapes if it works better. These bigger klipsch remind me of a monster hp bike,snowmobile or something. Crazy powerful so needs as good of control as possible. Il be honest when I got them for my projector ht room years back. It was decretory (had low expectations). The room is so huge I learned. Any small thing that upgrades the room at all will start to add up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho Panza Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Looking good, especially if you want lower grilles. Are you satisfied with your top grilles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still want to do magnets. I wonder if neo mags would pull through the full front face. So place them on the same face as the horns screw in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Would only work through the thickness of veneer... not nuch more. It would help if there were also magnets on th back of the grills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 On the beaters I've been working on, I have front mounted the horns. Was going to make a full piece of 1/4 inch routed out to fit over the flange, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 So I did some more work on the grills. I added neo magnets, cut the wood so the fit is really close, also added some corner trim inside to keep everything as straight as possible. These are my first grills I've made. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
