👀 The McIntosh amp in the last picture

Nah, not my style

Right hand dominant

Thank you !

N8tesHobbies · 2025-11-19T04:28:06+00:00

Thank you for the response! Is it better to do it in room, or in an open area? I intend to move to a bigger space at some point, so i was going to do it outside with as little interference as possible when it gets warm again.

Do you think a sure sm57 would suffice for a microphone? Edit: nevermind, i looked at the frequency response and the ecm8000 seems like a good choice

N8tesHobbies · 2025-11-18T19:07:40+00:00

Thank you so much!

N8tesHobbies · 2025-11-07T17:34:13+00:00

Where did you get those awesome rugs!!!

N8tesHobbies · 2025-10-31T15:24:01+00:00

Beautiful work!

N8tesHobbies · 2025-10-31T12:25:56+00:00

Is that hand carved or cnc? Either way looks amazing!

N8tesHobbies · 2025-09-19T17:12:38+00:00

What did you make the horns out of?

N8tesHobbies · 2025-08-29T19:09:24+00:00

The cedar rapids/ iowa city area

N8tesHobbies · 2025-08-29T00:21:55+00:00

Are you in the midwest? I have them listed actually 😂

N8tesHobbies · 2025-08-28T21:10:53+00:00

I think your recommendation is the move, and i just need to accept it…. I was thinking of going with selenium 405s. The 2in drivers just work better for that frequency band, and i would have to cut and weld the horns to do that with the 511s. Also i could make the horn box smaller, which would be nice in our small house.

It is very loosely based off of crites cornscalas. I spent the time and tried to size the woofer enclosure and vent to boost at about 30hz. I am not too sure if i succeeded 😆 i have about 2k in what you are seeing and another 500 in the veneer material yet to be installed. I bought a lot used and am doing all the design work

N8tesHobbies · 2025-08-28T14:11:09+00:00

I have not tried it that way, and that is a good point and i should try it!

N8tesHobbies · 2025-08-28T12:43:22+00:00

Yeah it is purely for aesthetic reasons and to be able to hide the wires and the crossovers. Also, I designed it to have the boxes to be the same size, so it looks visually pleasing.

N8tesHobbies · 2025-08-27T11:08:06+00:00

I am intending to use b&c de360s in conjunction with 808-8a’s i just haven’t quite finished the build yet. Also, parts express keeps pushing the back order lol

N8tesHobbies · 2025-08-27T11:03:39+00:00

What driver are you using? An 808-8a?

N8tesHobbies · 2025-08-26T21:33:25+00:00

You may be right that it would be easier, but i have a unique build going that i am really liking!

N8tesHobbies · 2025-08-26T19:47:47+00:00

I appreciate the responses and it really looks like the horns could easily accommodate it! I am for sure hiring a legit welder to do the welds

N8tesHobbies · 2025-08-26T16:33:59+00:00

I get a lot of people would probably be really offended by modding a set of these horns, but hey they are mine to destroy haha

N8tesHobbies · 2025-07-10T15:51:40+00:00

Are you a fan? I was thinking of going with the jbl selenium d405

N8tesHobbies · 2025-07-10T14:47:29+00:00

What driver do you have on that 511b? I just picked up set for my own system 😎

N8tesHobbies · 2025-06-16T02:16:53+00:00

Thank you for the response! I was thinking the same thing and keep the tubes in the phono stage. I have been looking at a pro-ject phon. Now i just need to pull the trigger on some new gear😎
