Segmented wood turned cones.

Make a set of speakers for my living room.

Dayton 8″ point source #295-346 and Galaxy Audio 5″ #290-020

Enclosure Design:
O chose to use tiger wood for the cones for the random pattern and padauk for the bases.

Conclusion:
These are powered by a 100w hybrid tube amp. It took some time for the drivers to break in but after about 100 hours I rarely use a subwoofer.
