Just built one sans the tweeter Brian. For the money...it's da bomb! :thmbsp: Andyman 03-25-2007, 08:43 PM Just built one sans the tweeter Brian. For the money...it's da bomb! :thmbsp: How did it sound? I liked the demos I saw at the room and was really impressed by the cab kit; there's no way on Earth you could make those cabs for the money they ask! When I checked them out online, I saw that the tweeter was the most expensive component at $190 ea, so one could do the system like you did for around $350. Seeing as that tweeter is probably crossed above my upper range, that makes it an extremely interesting project. Celt 03-25-2007, 08:57 PM I've been pleased with mine. The top end is a tiny bit sizzly due to the aluminum dust cap, but IMO the system will be more balanced without it. I measured overall response 50 - 17k Hz @ -6dB and 55 - 15k Hz @ -3dB. I can't hear jack above 12.5kHz, so why bother? More info on them here: http://audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=104283 stuartk 03-26-2007, 11:32 AM I've been pleased with mine.

The Fostex system sounded ok, but to tell you the truth, I much preferred their Vifa Studio Kit model. Celt 03-26-2007, 12:05 PM Madisound was one of the first rooms I visited on Saturday morning. The Fostex system sounded ok, but to tell you the truth, I much preferred their Vifa Studio Kit model. I've built the Studios in the past for friends. They use the Vifa dual-concentric mid-tweeter, which is one of my favorites. But it's a different animal than the BK-16, size-wise and efficiency-wise. merrylander 03-26-2007, 03:24 PM Enjoyed talking to the Madisound people, turns out Bill and me are both big iron computer geeks.
