Really cool looking project, John.

Re: Vultus, AMT3-4

Thanks guys. Tom, there are flaws and you will see them. Eric, I plan to bring them to MWAF as the PE guys would like to see them but they can't compete so they may not get a chance to play.

Re: Vultus, AMT3-4

Nice job dude! That's some top notch enclosure work. I agree with the AMT's light response on the top end. I used the little AMT on my 442's for the same reason. Are you going to bring those to MWAF 2016?

Re: Vultus, AMT3-4

John,

Don't you ever get sick of producing perfect cabinets? Come on, let's see some veneer tear-out, an uneven driver recess or something every once in awhile, mix it up a bit!

Seriously, those are beautiful looking speakers.

Looking at the frequency response graph on page 8 of your PDF I see now why you used the little Dayton neo as a supertweeter. That's a cool idea. Those little buggers really have good 'sparkle', an efficient tool to help the drooping top end of the AMT.

You're a good person to be one of the 'design team' crew, congratulations!

Re: Vultus, AMT3-4

Did you try out any other Lpad values on the tweeter?

Hi Channing, thanks. The tweeter messed with me a bit as I did not want to spend much $ on something most wouldn't hear. So yes I used a bunch of values. I spread the resistors out to get the tilt I wanted then settled for the resistor values that PE stocks. Using PE stocked x-o parts is a compromise I usually don't have to deal with.

Very cool- lots of personality!

Re: Vultus, AMT3-4

Thanks for the nice comments. The veneer is reconstituted rift sawn oak. The grain was not as open as normal oak which prevented filling it with a contrasting color.

Thanks - still looks beautiful even without a contrast color.

Wow, those driver recesses are flawless! Looks good, too. Did you try out any other Lpad values on the tweeter?

Re: Vultus, AMT3-4

Immaculate fit and finish and I love the way the grain of the veneer goes with the pleats in the AMT driver.
