My Center, 50 lbs and 1,000 Watts


Gang,

After me waiting six months, my speaker cabinet has arrived and the initial assembly has been completed. How does it sound?  I have no idea, it still can't play a thing. :)

The goal was to make a speaker perform as well as a point source, with vanishing low distortion and extreme (for my living room) dynamic range.

Man, that’s quite the beast!  Must feel really good (and very satisfying) finally seeing it all put together in the flesh.  How long do you think before she starts singing?  Can’t wait to hear your impressions once she’s burned in a bit.  What other centers do you have on hand to compare it to?  Not that there’s really an apt center to compare this to (or not many anyway), but it’d be interesting for frame of reference how it compares to something we can somewhat relate to as a benchmark.  Congrats on a very nice accomplishment!

Thank you, @soix 

Believe it or not, she is a lot smaller than models from ATC or Legacy with similar sized woofers.
