Are there plans for this kit ? Very nice !!!!
These are full custom and not a kit unfortunately…and thanks for your kind words.
Crossover details would be a real plus.
I will try to make the crossover design available as soon as I can get the file off my old computer. I am proud of the design which took a bit of trial and error on this one, but well worth it.
1.6K 4th order L-R, all wired at 8 ohms, flat wound inductors and nice caps. Had a lot of enjoyment building these.
Many of us would love to build this and I would absolutely buy a set of plans to make them if you are interested. Yhank you nicholas@mindspring.com
could you please send build measurements and cross over diagram and parts list. they look great. Thanks Ed Homstead , was looking at building D 111 buy Wayne Jaeschke
cant find right one
Nice looking speakers & room! Love the Allen & Heath console. I used to have a GL3 back in the 90’s for FOH. Solid, good sounding consoles – never an issue, unless you count the freak generator power surge that took out the power supply.
Why spend 7 grand for focal studio monitors when you can build these.
🤷♂️
How did you build these? Very nice! I would also pay for a kit / plan!
These are Gorgeous, and I think you just saved my…ears at the very least. I am using these as inspiration for my own monitor build on DIYAUDIO, and have used your picture of these as a reference. I do hope you do not mind. But they are spot on, and I am enamored! thank You.
If you would like to see the thread on DIY Audio, it is listed under Multi Way and look for “Togril”
I have a set of you littlerig speakers. they look like the black and green ones, in you pics.
