Thanks for forgiveness, Doug. And for giving me a kudo for my diy activities, as that nod helps push me forward.
Having 3 working pairs that have similar characteristics, even given their different sizes, is a huge push to carry on, despite any discouraging words, anyway.
Being a partner with spouse owning a growing business has tended to absorb much of the free time to spend on it is depressing in its' way, but it does allow for buying 2 mil titanium and aluminum for 'rolling a cone'....
That, in itself, is a Good Trick. I finally came up with a means to do that in a predictable fashion...
I've avoided on purpose to 'do' a 3 segment F-style cone, and have taken a different tack at it. As I 'write', I'm listening to Spotify with a 'bookshelf' version that, as F. Zappa once noted, makes 'noises agreeable to the ear'.
My larger 'mains' in the next room 'do better'. ;)
Perhaps, one fine day in the near future, I'll loan you a pair for critique'.
I'd like to have a serious listener do a 'serious listen' to them.
I can only go so far with a calibrated mic and various programs.
Who better than a reviewer? *Ingratiating Smile* ;)
Meanwhile, I'm wondering How I can convince spouse that the 1.2K$ that appeared in our checking account (Thanks, Feds!) could be applied towards a 3D printer that can 'print' 2 mil carbon fiber cones instead of an automated catbox....
"It's too big, and looks like a weird front-load washing machine with slumped shoulders..." don't fly with her.
That...and the cats prefer my lap to hers.
The 'mother duck, being followed by the ducklings' doesn't fly either...*L*
Enjoy your revived F's (I'm jealous)......and Thanks again, J
