Been a while since I posted here but just thought I'd share my experience. I was able to go to CES this year with Mark Sayers, one of the owners of Meniscus Audio. I actually got into building speakers thanks to you guys here :cool:; one evening (years ago) I was searching for some info on a new...

I guessed this question comes up a lot here so I did do a search, but I got a LOT of threads by people that seemed to have a better understanding than me at this point having issues that I can't even get to yet :o. I have a Yamaha RX-V1065 reciever that I purchased new about 3 years ago. I've...

Or neither?? I'm looking to get a Crown XLS-1500 amp to use on my strictly music system so I'm looking for a preamp. I've narrowed it down to 2 different preamps that I've found (the Denon is actually a receiver w/ pre-outs). This is what I've come up w/ for pros/cons for each; and I was...

Picked up a used Marantz DV8400 that is in like new condition on ebay for $150 after shipping :). My wife got me Dire Straits, Brothers In Arms and Pink Floyd, Dark Side Of The Moon for christmas. WOW do SACDs ever sound amazing :eek::D! I'm not a huge jazz fan, but I think having 1 or 2...

I just finished building some speakers for my music area. I purchased a Harman Kardon HK-3490 stereo receiver (haven't even received it in the mail yet). Right now I'm using my older than dirt Denon cd player. The thing skips on scratched cds terribly, and even worse if it's bumped or someone...

Just wanted to let everyone know about it. It started because there was so much interest in the ER18s and the Statements. The plan is basically to plug in some speakers and give a listen. I'm bringing my ER18s and my Statements. I know there will also be some mini-statements, as well as a...

Hypothetically speaking :rolleyes:, if I were to shop up a preamp/pwr amp combo, what would I look for to power my ER18s once they're done? What kind of power output would be nominal for these? Also, amps and preamps for home audio are pretty foreign to me. I understand how they do what they...

About to pull the trigger and start cutting up some MDF. I have all the material to build these (including drivers and crossover components since last August!, MDF, and cherry to finish w/). I have a question for either Skyline, Swerd, or anyone that's built these. Next to the cabinet...

About to get the ball rolling on this. I have just a couple questions before I begin. I'd like to do a roundover (or maybe beaded corners, not sure how I'd incorporate em yet though) on these so I'm going to join cherry to all the edges of my baffles, tops and bottoms. Then I can veneer and...

Just finished the Statements. I now have to build the ER18s. I'll then finish the Tritrix, the Statements, and the ER18s all at the same time. My question is, what next? I'd like to set my sites on my next build. What I'd like to build will be something to replace my HT speakers. Right now...

A good friend of mine is a bass guitar player and he's been following what I've been doing and he's super interested. He asked me if anyone on this forum knew anything about, or where to go to find out about building a bass guitar amp. He told me yesterday what he wanted to do and if I remember...

Can anyone tell me if theirs a way to increase the maximum amount of photo uploads? Or, should I set up photo bucket or something like that online? Never done it before but I think I'd be able to figure it out. I already accidentally deleted some pics in an older thread, got to figure out how to...

So, I know what I think is best but I'm just curious what others here think. If you're building a speaker cabinet, what are you using for wood and why? I always thought MDF was the best just based on no voids and almost perfect consistancy in density; but I've also heard the same about baltic...

I’ve been a member here for about a year now. I’ve been into stereos for a long, long time. After building some tritrix so I could get my speaker building feet wet (first set I’ve ever built), TriTrix MTM TL Speaker Components And Cabinet Kit Pair 300-702 , and a lot of deliberating, I’ve...

So, after a year I've finally started to build these! My son and I had some fun making the crossovers today. My question is, I used hot glue to glue the components to the 1/4" MDF board. Is that good enough or I'm thinking maybe zipties for reinforcement? Think that's necessary? Now I have...

New to this site, and since I was about 5 years old I've been completely fascinated w/ stereos. My first experiance building speakers was taking some old speakers (don't even remember what they were) that my dad was throwing out and making new cabinets for em. I was about 12ish. They looked like...

I've always wanted to design and build my own speaker cabinets. I have an older pair of infinity towers that I use in my garage and thought about using the speakers and making my own cabinets. I used to be a custom cabinet maker so I have all the equipment and know how as far as the woodworking...

Hey all, I've been an audio fanatic basicly all my life. I just recently upgraded my system's reciever and dvd to get TrueHD. I got rid of my Denon receiver and HK DVD player and purchased a Yamaha RX-V1065 receiver and a Panasonic DMP-BD65SP-K BD DVD player. I also purchased a Klipsch SW-350...
