General accessibility to the masses of higher-end multi-channel sound for enjoyment at home. And world peace.

Thanks for the clarification. I divided 32oz (roughly) between the two cabinets--so I am probably just a little shy of the 1 lb/ft3 density in at least one of the cabinets. Another variable and I'm not sure about it's impact here: I used a port from Meniscus with an outer and inner flare...

WOW thanks for all the positive encouragement, guys. It really means a lot, as I have gained a lot of respect for the vast knowledge present in the forum (as you can see, I have been a member since 2009. I'm a wallflower.) I should have posted a little earlier in the process for times when my...

Some notes about what kind of music we’re talking about here might help, too. (Some examples of what I’ve been listening to lately follow, and more about the bass troubles at the end.) It's been a long time since I naively claimed that “I listen to everything," as I have found a good deal of...

And we're all caught up--here they sit, in the living room. Sorry about all the grainy or out of focus cell-phone pics. I'm sure that when they are actually completed (if?) I will get out the big camera and snap some real pics. [/URL][/IMG] So to lead into my listening impressions and...

Another terrifying moment--cutting through those cabinets for the drivers...my mind can't help but imagine all the possibilities of what could go wrong, argh! Such a relief when things fit, and appear to be in line. [/URL][/IMG] Looking pretty satisfying, especially with those scrap 2x4...

Ok so where were we... Gluing up the panels. I had the back panel and side panels already glued up, but I had to glue joints between the lower and upper front panel, and the dovetails at the same time--definitely aching for a couple more clamps here: [/URL][/IMG] Didn't come out perfect, but...

Right?? Definitely the best value in clamps these days! ...unless you're into $100 a pop Bessy clamps... which are pretty nice looking.

Haha, thanks... you're both right I'm sure, on the clamps--cutting, gluing and clamping is all still very stressful for me! :eek: I get all harried and start sweating and breathing heavily, cussing and fidgeting with various clamps and blocks of wood randomly until I'm sure it's beyond the...

(Uh-oh--I was on a roll, uploading photos... but now it says I've exceeded my quota. How does this work?)

REALLY always thought the Inlaid dovetails looked cool, so decided to try for that. Came out ok, but this one got cut apart again in favor of a slightly different layout (sigh). Setup on top of the inner cabinet--anxious to see these come together, and still trying to imagine/plan out the rest...

Didn't get many pics of the inner cabinets, but that was all standard: Beginning to visualize the layout for the front panels: Front baffle glue-up (rare occasion when I felt that I had enough clamps!)

I already posted my first listening impressions and experiences over in Skyline_123's ER18 thread (http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/diy-corner-tips-techniques/68531-new-diy-mtm-towers-designed-dennis-murphy-paul-kittinger-36.html#post987713) But to recap... These are not completed, they...

Ah, another small detail with my build selection (I will just keep rambling until I am up to my 10 posts to start a thread!)--I must admit that I have trouble with commitment, and I did have some trouble deciding between the ribbon and dome tweeter: as such, I used the dome but left the extra...

Thanks for the quick replies and support. Yes, I think the dome version sounds great-- I am very pleased (with most recordings so far) with the clarity and smooth nature of the higher end. The setup is in the upstairs living room--fully carpeted, but with big windows, mirrors, brick fireplace...

Sorry to post in such an old thread here, but I want to say thanks for pioneering the way with this "new" ER18 speaker design. Although not completed, I just got mine set up in the living room last week. (I know it's not such a new design anymore; As usual, I am several laps behind--I still...

Sounds like a good plan. Other than a Sonotube subwoofer (for a different system in the media room), the ER18s (for a 2.0 music system in the living room) are the first speakers I have (almost) finished. I also started a set of Statements--that was about 5 years ago and they still aren't done...

How are the ER18s coming along? I have just "finished" a set myself and begun listening; they are not actually finished--just put together. I got anxious. I am interested to hear your thoughts, and others who have lived with this build for a while. I am new to higher-end audio, but I feel I...
