This is one of the best looking DIY speakers I have seen, certainly the nicest example of the LX521.
Kudos
Thanks! It wasn't all me though as I started from the plywood kit from magicLX521. Then I:
-Built the speakers according to spec
-Sanded/painted/edge banded the panels
-Fabricated the speaker grills by cutting frames from 1/4" Baltic birch plywood
-Attached the panels to the speakers with rare earth magnets so they are easily removed
-Routed wires within the bass cabinet so that I can have a single 8-pole plug at the rear of the speaker
-Wrapped/stapled velvet to the speakers as well as used velvet tape in certain areas. This was *very* tedious
The black base is made from plywood. I have some very heavy steel bases that were water-jet cut to replace the plywood and screw into the bridge for added stability. Haven't gotten around to doing that yet. I need the base because I have to move my speakers to the sides some when watching 2.40:1 movies as otherwise they get in the way. If I didn't need to move them, I would have cut a hole in my floor to route the cables up into the bottom of the speaker so that they aren't visible on the ground.
