PE ...A completely frustrating and outdated article.<br />PE has not sold re made cabinets as stated and commented for a loooooong time. The Jamco cabs are pure crap and not worth gutting for a M1 clone. There is NO port size and length mentioned anywhere for the .38 cubic foot cabs in this project, and WHERE the consumer can actually buy pre made and finished enclosures anymore (as 99% of the DIY worldwide consumer does not have the ability to do woodworking), and then what the different internal cubic foot volume would be and what the correct length and diameter the port should be.<br />Articles like this posted freely on the net that leave out so many critical details in the name of "look- be proud of me, this is what I made" are nothing but misleading.

It is in the area of the original M1, and I'm not a circuit builder, so I used the Dayton 12db/octave. I was surprised the tweeters specified 12 db with a crossover at 3000 Hz. I'm complete blown away with how good they sound. I replace my Monitor Audio Bronze BX2 ($500) when I bought them. The M1 replica is so much better with the smoothest high end ever.D.

Ans what kind of capacitors you use ?<br />I replace the resistors by wirewoundings in cement and that sounds better than Mox resistors !Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746003715852639374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36956433.post-56479433387345209882012-02-03T11:49:18.071-06:002012-02-03T11:49:18.071-06:00nice bookshelf.

A photo is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35236795@N03/3267313610/in/photostream/ I built the sides from several sheets of 7mm mdf. I have since added a 3/4" radius on all 4 edges of the baffle. I am very happy with the result. I'd be curious to know how they compare to yours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36956433.post-11503395818931029842011-01-13T01:30:10.752-06:002011-01-13T01:30:10.752-06:00i think the high freq to high,R 15ohm change with ...i think the high freq to high,R 15ohm change with R 20ohmAndrehttp://tokobersama.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36956433.post-30421687737591426142010-11-06T04:36:32.738-05:002010-11-06T04:36:32.738-05:00Extremely nice!

I first set up my speaker in an existing Jamo C403 cabinet, but intend to later to put the set up in the same Dayton cabinets Daniel used (cherry instead of black). I also agree these cabinets are much nicer looking than what Swans has used. Everyone wanting to build speakers aren't wood craftsman, and the Dayton cabinets (different sizes and shapes) are a wonderful alternative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
