Wow, Nate, those look incredible, and I'm sure they sound pretty sweet, too.
Thanks, fellas!That wood looks great and so does that TT. Is that a Dixielander the horn is setting on?
The compression drivers are JBL 2441s, and they do weigh a ton.WOW those horns look like a huge plug of lathed led!! Massive! Very nice- bet they sound great too.

Dixielanders aren't exactly quality products. The cabinets are cheaply built using cheap ply. I think Gary used 1/4" MDF (he'll set me straight if I'm wrong about that). It not only looks better, but it sturdied them up significantly!Absolutely beautiful. I never noticed before how thin the walls are on a Dixielander. They look much better thickened up and of course the veneer makes them look great. I'm sure they sound better as well. What thickness MDF did you add?
They're great in the sweet spot for focused, seated listening, and that's exactly how I listen. The room is bigger than it looks, about 13' wide and 20' long. It's not rectangular, though.How are they for near field listening? Looks like a small room not unlike the one I use.
...photographic proof! :yes:
Are you sure they are singing, and the pics prove it? Even with my ear right up against the pics on my monitor, I can't hear a thing. Ears must be gettin' old!
Okay, you got me on a technicality, fellas!Photographic proof that they're singing? Looks like they're just posing to me.
Seriously, those look GORGEOUS! I like the camera angle on that first pic, too... and the room overall looks extremely comfortable and inviting. I think if I had that room around here, I wouldn't get much work done.
Congratulations on a successful culmination to all this work. I've heard Edgarhorns at one show, and know that they are "special"; you must be enjoying your little corner of heaven there! :thmbsp:
