I just wanted to add a comment. I finished the speaker build several days ago and they are truly impressive. Great highs and amazing bass. I have CSS TD1s which I think are very good but they are not even in the same category with these speakers. After about 15 hrs. of break in they just get so much better. The best way I can think of to describe them is have you ever listened to a song and the sound is so great you cant help but smile? That's what these to to me on many songs. Great speaker build design.

A little trick for you when you're using water borne varnishing, water it down 20% water 80% varnish & then flow it on with a piece of stockinette rag made into a pad, build up 5 coats, then flat back with 1200 paper then build up the finish until you're happy with it, I'm a french polisher with 34 year experience, I'm just being picky, great video man👍

It took a few months to get the final components from Parts Express but it was worth the wait. The speakers enclosures were completed during some time off between Christmas and New Years and the cross overs over a couple of evenings after work. I am very happy with the results. I chose walnut veneer over MDF with solid walnut faces and they are beautiful to look at in addition to sounding great.

Really good video. Cool backdrop too on the thumbnail pic! I'm glad that you're making another video where you can go into more detail for us folks that really want to see the guts of the build -- I'm really looking forward to that! I can only imagine what this mini-beast of a speaker sounds like cranked up! This was a treat for Labor Day!

I really enjoyed the step-by-step videos like these not often you find people willing to do the work themselves these days.

[Hnkka]

I love these videos, these give me many ideas and some motivation to try and build speakers

[HerbieSchwartz]

This was very therapeutic to watch. Loved it. Thx.

Oversizing the front baffle - great advice there. Nice build. You're making me want to get back to wood working again.

[tybotti]

Great design! Solid execution. A reasonably sized speaker with LF extension. No sub needed.

[carlsitler]

Those totally look epic. I love that wood.

[patb]

These speakers look impressive! Thanks.

[mikeleahy]

Right tools for the job= nice tight corners and joints . Nice top shelf job 👍

[elcarlissimo]

Great vid bud! Relaxing and inspiring at the same time!🙂

I was skeptical at first. $1000 for speakers you build yourself is a hard pill to swallow but now I get it. Great video! Subscribed

[JukeboxAlley]

Really well done and good choice of drivers

[dmazter]

You should look into a flush trim router bit for all the overhanging panel edges.
Way faster than sanding them flush.
Also wipe the excess glue with a wet rag to cut down on cleaning after.

[blakebrockhaus]

Looks awesome! And I agree, I like a good full range bookshelf speaker

[michael-k]

Loved this video . Want these speakers

[mrboat]

Excellent. Thank you for doing these projects. Every time I pick up one of my DIY speakers it is very apparent the quality feel compared to what I have invested. Even something as budget as Paul Carmody's Classix2, feel, sound and look high end.

I think my pinnacle high-end speaker would be a freak 15" monkey coffin 3-way, somewhere in the 89-93 db sensitivity range. It would be for those times where you just get tired of puny drivers and want something that absolutely hammers.

Awesome job! You should really seal the MDF board before painting it tho, way easier to get a good finish on the paint. easiest way of sealing is 50/50: water/glue
