Hello Dear All,
First of all, thank you very much for this web side.
Sorry for my English, i will try to do best i can to be understandable in the respect of Shakespeare language.

About me:


I start "HIFi" late 2014, a friend of me give me a pair of JBL 4301b, i repair the Woofer with reparation kit.
and when i plug it on my hold amplifier, the sond come on to me like the God's voice!......
it was so beautiful, full of sensation !
it' start like that.

my first Project was to build some open baffle, it was good idea on the paper.....
i was very please with the sond, but something was messing on low frequencies.

this project was quickly replacing by my actual speakers,
i build it last year, the project take me about 1.5 year to achieved it.
it is a double 15" (Audax PR380M0) + Radian 950PB loading with ARAI A290 clone horn.
Each loudspeaker box have 400 liters volume with 175 Kg weight.
the Horn is made from molding of Calcium carbonate and PU resin.

source side is the next step....
actually i drive it with streamer Magna Mano, DAC audio GD 19Nos in I2S, Mini DSP HD 2x4 + DIRAC , amp is 4x250w T.Amp sono.
i would like to change all on this line except the Streamer maybe .

This is my short story on this world, i am sure this website will improve my knowledge.
thank you so much for sharing all information as you do hire !
best regards

Your GF/wife/...: "Honey, how much space of this room will the new speakers occupy?"
You: "Yes!"
The room is 54 m2.
it's my leaving room.

Half the volume is required for the speakers, so it let you some room to install electronic gear and your 8000 records...o_O

I've just check the pictures, what you have done is beautiful!

Yes for sure, this is my plan....but i have to manage with my wife.
yes next plan is amplifier and DAC.
i will probably go to NC 400 or similar.
and for the DAC, to Topping D90 or RME ADI, i'm not sure today....
let's thinking.

I am originally from Louisiana, hence a bit of ancien French. As we say "it's all good"

Looks like I'm even nearest: Sucy-en-Brie (94).;)

Welcome aboard!

"C'est si bon" would more likely be meaning: "It's so good".;)
