Roman (R-Carpenter) just rebuilt a set of those speakers... Not a complete DIY ( not that roman could not pull that off) but a killer job none the less.

I believe it's a resistor.

I think the Origional Byzantiums are some of the most beautiful speakers I've ever seen. Anyone have some good pictures of those?

This one is the best pic I have, taken at DIY Iowa 2010. Thanks for the vote. :o

After being asked, "why did you make it ugly" by another forum member recently, your post just goes to show, everyone has an opinion.

I happen to share yours. I really need to finish them with a nice plinth.

Definitely a huge +1 on the Byzantiums. As far as DIY builds, those are still one of my favorites. Based on the cabinet work, the looks, and the sound (Never heard them, but others have said they are a statement killer.)

I am jealous I wish I could hear a pair of those let alone rebuild them.

ShinOBIWAN's speakers and subs are some of the finest DIY work I have ever seen, the driver's were expensive as well. The last I heard he was starting his own company in the UK so I wish him a ton of success.

Someone has already mentioned it but I agree that PassingInterest's builds are always top notch. He just has a style and craftsmanship that is a genuine talent, he also has a knack for teaching as well, wish he had a TV show.

Re: Post the most beautiful builds you know of...

I thought these were already on this thread, but I don't see them. They definitely deserve a spot here IMO, and they are a DIY build. Well partly outsourced anyway.

They are an all Accuton build right down to the PR's, and actively XO'd by DSP's. Skip to about 1:20 if you want to skip him showing off all his equipment:

rebuilding them wasn't as much much fun as listening. These JBL are certainly in the class of their own. Big open dynamic sound and any SPL. Yet they were able to do finesse of the classical music just as good.
Live and learn. They sounded magnificent.

The front of those baffles look like they are a 3D hand carved detail. Beautiful work, r-carpenter!
