Re: Cabrini Redux
No, I don't think that would work very well! I do believe that you need some kind of return path for the little electricsicles!:D“I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet”

Cabrini the Last in the works. Have to resize the tweeter cutout slightly, but otherwise it should be a pretty quick conversion.
These were on the road for 2-1/2 years or so... Not sure what is in store for them after this final upgrade path, but as playback monitors in a studio they would probably work pretty dam good, actually. Not for mixing, mind you, but for playback.Don't listen to me - I have not sold any $150,000 speakers.

Zombie thread. The waveguide did not play well with that woofer, so no update there.
However, it is now cheaper today than six years ago to build these - including an upgrade to a poly cap. The slightly larger coil should bring the mid-range down a touch, as well.
Plus, now the drivers and XO components ship free. Add some binding posts and a bag of polyfill.Don't listen to me - I have not sold any $150,000 speakers.

Yep, with the understanding they will be output limited due to the short Xmax on the woofer.Don't listen to me - I have not sold any $150,000 speakers.

Slow but making some progress. Cabinet for cabrini based center channel is ready to start finish work. I have built a crossover and tested by ear. I used the crossover Johnny designed for the large grs 3 way with less padding on the mid and none on the tweeter. Using a 2mh inductor and 66mfd capacitor on the parallel connected woofers, but that may change. I'm really encouraged by the sound so far. Dimensions are 9"h x 10.5" deep x 24" wide. 3/4" mdf.I wonder how many people I've looked at all my life and never seen.

So Johnny, you had compared these to some BA speakers? May I ask which ones? I have some Boston HD7's right now that are my go to bookshelf speakers and wonder how these may compare. I really like those. Also, what are the other tweeters you put in these in post #80?Comment

The other tweeters did not work.
I do not recall comparing them to any commercial or DIY designs. I am not comfortable reviewing my own work - but there are plenty of reviews in this thread.Don't listen to me - I have not sold any $150,000 speakers.
