Re: The Lydias Build

I finally got the tops last week and my friend Weldon did a really nice job as usual. They have a slight recess on the bottom and just set on top of the cabinets.

Re: The Lydias Build

Awesome build, love the finish and the attention to detail.

One question: Based on my understanding of Planar tweeters, wouldn't that CC be better suited for the Planar to be rotated 90 degrees on the center channel, so that it matches the the orientation of the other BG planars? You know, off axis response and all that.

It would have been better but I didn't plan to lay it on it's side when I built it. The Neo3 has pretty good vertical dispersion compared to the taller planar drivers so it's not a deal breaker. On top of that the listening position is on axis.

I would tend to agree, and I'm surprised I missed that- good catch!

PS Nephew Matt, you need to get your priorities straight... :D

Re: The Lydias Build

I will be modeling with the neo3 soon and am wondering how audible the 15khz peak is and did you try to tame it?

I don't notice it and I didn't try to do anything about it. Then again I'm an old guy who's been around a lot of loud stuff.

Uncle Ron E, when are we going to get on the "Matt's" Seems like every time I think about them something always gets in the way. Also, as always great work.
