AKA Imperials.
DX25TG09, FW146, 2x FW168
Crossover Design by Jay (Brewski)
Black Walnut Baffle, Figured German Beech Veneer over plywood. Waterlox for finish.
Didn't seem like it would ever happen. Like several others, painting the cab led to several problems and required stripping then veneering the cabs. I am pleased with the final finish, and I learned a ton about some of the construction choices I made.
At the risk of being over-subtle, these speakers really are a home run. Tight bass, clear mids, orderly highs. Kick drums thump, acoustic bass sounds like you're in front of the stage. Vocals (Alison Krauss, Norah Jones, Ella Fitzgerald, and Lyle Lovett) are clear and display each singer's style perfectly. I've heard Lyle live six times and the speakers nail his sound.
I have some solo cello pieces that really put the cello in the room. I could not be happier about the sound quality. So far, I've only run them through a Squeezebox and a DTA-100A. With better (more) power I expect them to be a further revelation.
I can't thank Jay (Brewski) enough for his design, patience, and encouragement. Best news: All of these drivers are available.
