Hi all,

I've just rebuilt the stat panel in a Martin Logan Theater center channel speaker. These speakers are dying and no longer supported by ML, so anyone who has one with a weak or dead...

Thank you John, they sound pretty amazing too!

Hi All,

I'm pleased to share my latest RiPol sub project below. These use the same Peerless SLS 12 woofers as my previous ones, but are 1/2" smaller in height/depth and the plywood grain...

Thanks again, guys!

Welcome Alex,

It's good to welcome a fellow speaker builder. Hope you will post some pics of your project(s) when you can.

Yes, I've seen those. Also; there is an active DIY electrostatic speaker club in the Netherlands.

I find it interesting that most DIY ESL builders in the US use perf metal stators (probably...

When I first heard about this speaker I tried to imagine how I would approach creating a monopole ESL. I'm not sure I would want to but I still wondered how it could be done. I concluded that I...

Wow, what a voice! It sure brings back the memories.

Wire stators are definitely more reliable; especially for DIY speakers. And, that wire stators can be segmented to tailor the dispersion pattern is a benefit that wouldn't be possible with...

Thank you!
To be mentioned in the same sentence with the Stickley brothers is an honor I'm not sure I merit.

Nice! The dovetailed corners is a really nice touch.

Thanks Marty... I cover up the mistakes pretty well :-)

Was still at it-- I think I've had enough of speaker building (too much work for an old guy), and this may be my last project.

About measurements; sorry I have none. Maybe I should get with the...

That's a difficult question to answer. I can give you a pretty good estimate, but I haven't measured that directly.

I have my DBX Venu 360 crossover applying a brick wall cutoff at 20Hz. Even...

Thanks Dave. They do not disappoint. Regretfully; I can only share with you this little cellphone video of them playing: Jazzman MkIII ESL Playing - YouTube

Hi all,

Below is the finest loudspeaker I've ever built, and I'm happy to share it here.

I also have an extensive how-to website for building this type of speaker, and my drawings and parts...

I built this red oak rack about 10 years ago. The joinery is mortise & tenon, the back is open, the shelves are slatted for convective air flow, and the sides are slatted in mission style. The...

I've just finished building a pair of Ripole subs, which turned out very nice.

The Ripole design was patented by German speaker designer Axel Ridtahler. Conceptually; it's a dipole speaker with...

Here's mine. I built it to test my Carver TFM-25 after replacing some smoked components. (I'm not experienced in fixing blown amps, BTW). The inrush of current when I powered the amp up lit the...

I'm very curious how Janzen absorbs the back wave from the diaphragm in such a small enclosure. I have some experience designing and building ESL's so I appreciate how ultra-sensitive the diaphragm...

Thanks!
