Hey Roxy,,
Yes they do deserve a finely made cabinet,, The cabinet builder next door to my tech guy is wayyyy too expensive and has since refused to make speaker cabinets,, as he knows audiophiles are too picky.
So 1 cabinet remains 30 inches H the other 28.5 H and gaps, holes all over,,,about to get more ugly as i cut ports top and bottom for adding the DLVX6,,the current port will be sealed over with a piece of Tennessee cedar,,ugly, but *It is what IT is*.
I am nota DIYer who believes cabinets are extrenmely important,, go to the DIY page and see how complex these guys get over cabinet building,, unreal, some are unreal.
Anyone, I just finished rebuilding my component rack and came out great.
Now i can move my speakers back closer to wall, and further apart.
Earlier the speakers were 5 ft apart,, = can't breathe.
Now with superior placement,, the sound has opened up.
Speakers placed too close make for a convoluted sound stage.
Speakers need their own space to breathe.
Anyway. next video I upload will be the VX8+ VX6 dual FR.
There are no others in the world which have such a design.
Mine will , IF successful, will be the 1st iof its kind
A real frankenstein, so be anxious for that upload comming to YT soon.
Diana Krall's cd has a excessively warm studio recording. Which makes it a perfect test cd.
Most speakers are already warm , a+ warm CD = muddy, distortion, FFatigue
Now so with the DLVX8 and the Seas W18/Philips 163T8 tweeter.
All my drivers are famous for accuracy, = anti-warm.
I hate warm.
I love ice cold, Colder the better.
Cold = neutral.
Warm is ok, as long as the record is not warm. Then you got troubles.
Jazz fans LOVE warm.
Not me, i listen to only classical, I hate warm.
Cold/neutral
