Dear All, relative noob here, only ever built one pair of open baffle speakers, but would like to graduate to a boxed design. The best girlfriend ever has decided that she fancies the speakers featured in the attached picture (they look like large floorstanders with a chunky coaxial) in the...

I had the intention of building my own stereo amplifier and ordered parts to built a TPA3255-based amp based on the Micro Bamboo project by @daniboun. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/3e-audio-tpa3255-260-2-29a-amplifier-review.50208/ However, I was too lazy and...

Hi i want to build studio monitors for mixing, mastering and also just listening to music. A few things are already set. They will be 3 way with seperate closed boxes for bass and mid and i will use a hypex fa253 for dsp and amplification. The hypex plates can do fir filters since the latest...

I’m experimenting with building over-ear headphones (3D printed) and wondering what’s the typical way to attach the driver to the baffle. Let’s say it’s a 50mm driver. I could print a 50mm ring and wedge the driver in. Then put some hot glue around the edge. Or I could print a 54mm ring...

As the title states I am embarking on a journey to places unknown... Well maybe unknown to me but that's why I'm here, y'all know a whole lot more. Starting off with the UM 18-22. Pretty sure I'm going the way of DIY amp and I'm going to attach a couple screenshots from this website that I...

I recently built some desktop speakers from concrete, and I am trying to understand my measurements. I am quite happy with the overall sound, but they are definitely missing some base. I am using a Dayton Audio DS135-8 woofer with a Peerless Tymphany BC25SC08-04 tweeter and crossed them at...

Hi amigos, Before starting, I suspended the measurements of the first project "Micro Bamboo." I will come back to the quick measurements at the end of May finally, I still have to speak with Sami about his Micro Audio PSU... am focusing on this thread only on the measures of the "Bamboo V2"...

Hello, I'm having trouble understanding and diagnosing my tweeter's impulse and step response. The negative peak seems to be greater than the positive, and the positive seems to be split. This was measured using a UMK-1 3 inches away from the driver. I'm unsure what to make of it, whether...

I made a horrid ported sound bar 4yrs ago when I was complete newb to the topic. And frankly, I'm still newb. Now I know little better than 4yrs ago and also not satisfied with the sound it's making, I decided to tear the sound bar and and salvage drivers. So Now I have 4 drivers of Peerless...

Ever since I bought this speaker I've been thinking about removing the bass reflex cover. This is a quick change to make but I'm not sure and would like some opinions. This speaker has good sound quality but does not respond very well to bass. I have achieved a good level of low frequencies...

Was perusing the SB Acoustics website for drivers and came across a new 3-way speaker design: https://sbacoustics.com/product/gema/ Appears aimed at the market for those pining for the days of big woofers with wide baffle cabinets.... The drivers are all pretty reasonable however it uses a...

I really wanted to try the new MD60N-6 dome mid from SB Acoustics. I was looking at it for a while and I hoped it will have a discount at some point but no such luck. I then decided to buy it and build a pair of tower speakers. For the low end I chose the MW19P-8 woofer as it had great reviews...

Well was planning to wait until a later date to announce this, but the budget Directiva project required that I exchange the Seas DXT tweeter and so it seemed the time had arrived. To date all Directiva speakers have used the DXT tweeter but as I worked on a budget version I realized that the...

I am planning to build my first own headphone cable for my modded DT770pro with 3Pin mini XLR connector and need help with soldering. I bougth the following components for it: Cable)Mogami 2893 Microphone cable, Neglex Quad Miniatur, 4.8mm (Mini XLR Adapter 3 Pin) Rean RT3FC-B (1/4 Jack)...

I'll update this post as I have time, with images and text. Whoever wishes to contribute in any way, please do. Most generally, there are 2 main ways one can go about this to achieve similar results - that is, good sound. 1) make everything from few components of really high quality 2)...

Ever since Directiva r1 specified the pricey Purifi woofer, there have been requests for a lower cost version. I have been shopping less expensive woofers and am prepping to evaluate them. The initial evaluation will continue with the Seas DXT tweeter but may consider others as it has become...

This is a review and measurements of the Anaview ALC0100-2300 amp module. It is a compact design delivering 2x50W into 4 ohms with a built in power supply, and was on sale from 2010. It is still on sale for EUR121 per unit (https://www.lautsprechershop.de/hifi/anaview_uebersicht_en.htm). At...

Hello everyone, after about six months of second thoughts and changes I present to you my Christmas present. It's a network streamer, but I'd call it PC audio. For now only the first part is completed, the second part which is just a cabinet containing the DAC (smsl DO300) is still WIP, but from...

Greetings, this is just a general presentation of what kind of an audio system I would like to build and if everything will work together. Thank you in advance. Parts: - Speakers: Kef Ls50 Meta (already have- found good local second hand deal) also nice banana plugs and cables - Streamer: Wiim...

I have recently bought a DMP-A6. I have a separate audio system hooked up to a computer I work on every day, and the DMP-A6 is plugged into my second stereo system, which is located underneath my TV. The DMP-A6 is all great, however, one thing was quite irritating - the inability to control the...
