[@noelcarlson7592]

I really appreciate you posting this. You have given me confidence that I can build great speakers myself. As a finish carpenter, I will say that cutting square edges on the ports with a mitre saw is a very risky move and one that viewers should be aware of, Not only for your liability but for their safety. A round surface gives no stability against the fence to hold the port securely while being cut and can easily be caught and ripped through the saw taking fingers with it. I wish I had your CNC machine.

[@tysonjensen2175]

as a fellow woodworker, I was thinking the exact same thing. Great video though, thanks for posting!

[@gilph3]

I’d thought the bad part was when he was cutting the posts off the ports, but when I saw him cut the squares with fingers in the ports...YIKES

[@Dj992Music]

Did you end up making yourself some speakers? I would love to know how they turned out

[@noelcarlson7592]

As a fourth woodworker… I wanted to agree with everything you said. I enjoy the videos, but I wish you would be more careful!

[@cici235]

Several years ago I met Bruce Edgar in his home. He was a contributing editor for speaker Builder magazine. I later sent him a pair of Dynaudio drivers and asked him to try them in a mid-range Traxic Horn speaker design he was working on. He was so impressed with the speakers that when he returned the them, he also included the hand-built horns that he had designed. I later built a Pro sound system using the hand built horns with with Peavy Black Widow speakers and a set of tweeter horns. I've lost my high frequency hearing because of those speakers. Oh, but how much fun they were to listen too. This traxic midrange horn that was very similar to a design that ended up in a Klipsch speaker that Bruce designed for them.

[@epi2045]

Awesome DIY. Klipsch has been raising prices (even before the pandemic) based on heavy marketing. I do like their sensitive speakers and this DIY project is really interesting.

[@patrickrosington1174]

Klipsch arent even that sensitive about the same as most other speakers in the range. The way they do their testing is wrong and the opposite of what is basically agreed upon so that they can get these higher numbers to deceive people. ill never buy Klipsch just because of that

[@epi2045]

@@patrickrosington1174 That’s interesting. Ages ago I owned a pair of Klipsch KG 5.2’s. Spec wise it was 96 db 34-20KHZ. They were the shortest ownership I’ve had for any speaker. Sold them after a 8 mos. I don’t believe for a moment it went down to 34Hz. Too harsh and bass was flat.

[@duroxkilo]

@@epi2045 it's -3dB @34Hz and they meet the target. that being said, two 10" drivers can't sound too authoritative that low..

[@goodwinml]

I love your videos, I wish you would do a video on making some Klipsch LaScalla's.

Decware has a guide for Klipshorn style cabs. Not exactly La Scalas but 🤷‍♂️

It's great to see a simple, reasonably priced build that a guy could make on a table saw out in the shop or garage. Well done. You could have a lot of fun with that speaker.

[@Blueshade]

That looks like more than a simple table saw.... Lol how much do that cost

[@jtee9548]

great sentiment aside, no way are you getting a basic ass table saw to perform the magic of a cnc build without compromise.

[@wal]

Great build! I’d love to duplicate the old Polk audio towers with (8) 6.5’s and a 15” passive. Or some Def Tech towers with side firing powered sub? So many possibilities! BTW, I could watch that CNC all day

[@Toid]

Thank you! I appreciate it. I've always wanted to recreate the definitive technologies or even the golden ear. I used to have some, I ended up giving them away to a friend that always wanted them when I started really getting into speaker building. That is definitely on the list to build someday. I never thought about building some Polk towers, but you might be on to something.

[@mikeiver]

@@Toid I remember when the SDA-SRS speakers came out. They were a beast and sounded pretty good. They were not as transparent as the Apogee Scintilla or as fast but they made a good showing of themselves. Nothing like playing Ride of the valkyries with a PS Audio 200Cx cranked through them. Would make a fun play. Then again the Klipsch Korner horns were awesome too! Oh the old speakers, so many good ones to be had. For our system at home we have a set of four KD-4 for the corners and a KD-2.5 MTM for the center. Great image in a bad listening space. Nice build. Did you consider trying to source the actual drivers used in the KTP speakers?

[@MrColtnutz]

As an owner of a full klipsch system these make me jelly!!!! I'm going to have to build a set now.

[@patrickkilian515]

Like the hand blocking the screw penetrating the speaker when screwing it in with the drill. Thats literally the most important part of this build ha!

[@number1pappy]

I've always wanted to do this. I actually have a small wood shop and I've worked with wood for years now. I'm also an avid fan of music and home theater. I've always wanted to make an exact copy of high quality high end speaker to see how much cheaper I could build one instead of just buying it. I of course would need to be able to find and buy the actual drivers and either crossovers intact of atleast have the schematic for the crossovers so I could build them as well. As far as the cabinet I could of course just build them to the same measurements as the original. One of these days I'll do it....

[@housinit]

Awesome! Would love to see some EAW inspired cinema speakers. Fell in love with EAW loudspeakers when I worked in pro audio in San Francisco. We had a 2 million dollar rental warehouse with mostly EAW and some Community gear. I'm definitely a Klipsch fan, but absolutely love EAW's sound.

[@dilbyjones]

[@purplerider2362]

I read someone on here (KZbin) bought some used ones from a theater that was closing down. He said they were the best speakers he ever used. I believe he used them for a 2channel setup

[@Toid]

There was a guy on the forum that recently built these and loved them so much. He was using them to channel before he got the theater built. Check it out: toidsdiyaudio.com/forums/discussion/the-home-theater-build-code-named-tht/ starts on page 7

You should. Not only is it very rewarding, but you can get much better sound then the consumer equivalent.

[@josephhertzberg2734]

These remind me of my Econowave-pro speakers I built about 10 years ago. I still have them, tuned the box to 50hz, same waveguide as here, with an Eminence Kappa Pro 12". They are so good!!

[@josephhertzberg2734]

@@keithmarlowe5569 winisd is pretty easy to use. Just mess around with it. Most drivers are in the database and if not you can usually find the TS parameters for your specific drivers, which will lead you to porting requirements across variable box sizes. I am so tech challenged, but I plinked around with Winisd and figured it out. You can do it!

[@rogerpurcell9444]

Great build. But I will never put cross overs in my cabinets again. If you leave them external you can modify it anytime and hide them any where. May need more wire to hide stuff but a lot easier to tweak.

[@HifiVega]

Killer build Nick!

[@Toid]

Thanks HiFi!

[@Anders357]

Projects such as these, remind me of a project that is still popular where i live. Its called Tangen AVdesign inConcert Miles. Using two Beyma 15p80Nd 15" pro drivers and a Beyma TPL-150H tweeter horn. Its not cheap, but quality seems to be really high. 2022 these will cost you around 2200-2700 euro to build. They can be used with passive filtering, but active seems to be the way, to keep that +100 db efficiency and dynamics. One builder went from Klipsch RF-7 Mk II to inConcert Miles, and he said they were way better in every aspect, plus they can play much louder. And RF-7 Mk II cost around 6000 euro here. There is a few threads on the inConcerts, also in english.

First, I really enjoy the videos, and the fact that you make affordable alternatives to really high priced speakers. So thank you for the great content! I have a question. My room is 14x17x8 with the TV on the 14ft wall. Which do you think would give us the best HT experience for LCRs? The cinema 6, or these cinema 10s? We are a 99% movie/TV family. Very little music. I'll definitely be using the 10s for my surrounds, and our seating arrangement covers 30° left and right from the center of the tv. I have room for either design. Thank you!

[@jasonme3557]

This is great. I would say they'd make a good set of right left speakers too

I completely agree with that. They fill up an area much more than you would expect for speakers this size.

The coffin is easy, it's those damn baffles that are time-consuming and difficult, especially if you're a novice like me.

You might wanna ask him for the designs and have a woodworker in your area cut it for you. If it’s for non commercial use, he might do a fellow enthusiast a favor

[@NakeanWickliff]

@@bartvrenegoor Everyone always suggests finding a woodworker cut something for you and I've never heard of someone actually finding someone to do it for them.

Three things: An MDF cabinet will howl - try making it again out of plywood. Go to a thrift store and buy a big old wool jumper, cut it in half and put one half in each cabinet - long fibre wool is an excellent damper and will effectively double the size of the cabinet in acoustic terms. I know this is 'home build' but do your messurements in a room with soft furnishings! :o)

Given my skills at this point, I definitely do not want to go 100% DIY and your plans look like a great resource for the cautious DIYer. I've built two sets of CSS speakers and I'm rehabbing some Cerwin Vegas currently.

[@jaydorsett1580]

Just wondering why not rabbet your panels together and run more dados? Or run mitered corner blocks for better support of the boxes? Is it just not necessary or just to simplify? As a more traditional cabinet maker im just learning why. Thanks for the vids!

[@Toid]

It’s not necessary. The most important thing in cabinet making with speaker building is creating a dead cabinet. And by that we mean a non-resonant cabinet. And that’s what the internal bracing is designed to do, along with the type of material and the thickness. It all place are roll.

[@Rocker6969]

Toid, I have pioneer CS-911A speaker boxes and want to renovate them into one of your builds.

[@JR-ho5qm]

Great videos! have you experimented much with higher quality crossover parts, do you feel that spending more money on inductors, resistors, capacitors and speaker wire can improve the clarity of the speakers? Thanks! 🔈👍🏻

[@Renrondog]

JR, I can answer that. If your building high end stereo speakers, AND you have the high quality front end components then yes. It's a balancing act, $60 foil caps on a $120 woofer is a waste. Same cap on a $250 mid or tweeter might be mid price. Balance the XO parts with the drivers. IMO XO should be about 1/2 to 2/3 the cost of the drivers. Of course it depends on the order of the XO and # of parts.

[@aug.jam.1]

Believe me it's not a waste. With quality components on cheap drivers you can make them sound very very good indeed and really make them sound very premium. Also if the person who.made this video could add gaskets, screw inserts as well as resonating deadening stuffing in the cabinet that would help a lot as well for (sound) quality. Still a nice job and good looking speakers
