CHR Tower Speakers Part 3 | DIY | Markaudio + SB Acoustics | New Crossover | Confronting Zu-Audio
CHR TOWER PART 3
In this video I report the Crossover build, test, measurements for the CHR Towers. After that I compare the CHR Tower speakers to Zu-Audio's Dirty Weekend.
The CHR Towers are a fantastic pair of powerful audio, low bass, high quality speakers. Made in Walnut Hardwood mixed with Euro-Ply and veneer, this design relies on the Markaudio CHR-90 Full-range and the SB Acoustics SB15MFC30-8 Woofer. This is a two way speaker box that impresses by its power, SPL and High Fidelity performance, even using 5" woofer drivers and full-ranges.

Excellent job! Might build a pair for the girlfriend. She likes small things... Luckily!
Thanks for the video and no doubt CHR Tower wins. Congrats.
If I remember well you don't use spectral decay in your usual measurements. Which is a pity: any reason for that? On this resonance upgrade, the dampening you added by cross-bracing and adding more mass to sides, there should be serious changes to the spectral decay curve, which did not show on the simpler frequency response curve.
!Que belleza!!!!. Una artesania increible, Felicitaciones!!!!!!
Muchas gracias Luis!
Try mounting an open 5" FR driver on top of a speaker box with a woofer in the box and an iductor on the woofer. Use a lot of Blue Tack or Plasticine, for quick experimental mounting of the open FR driver on top of the box (and slope the driver back, to your liking). If there is any reverb in a recording, you are going to hear it! Sounds come from nowhere! 😅
Sounds good my friend!!!
FEASTREX have some FR drivers that cost 70 grand a pair! 😅
Let me check that!!! Love those FR
Yeah nothing's up.
Hermano , man those are a masterpiece ! Great job do you sell them ?
I don’t sell them. Just for the channel. I’ve been using in my living room!
Do you know of anyone that restores speakers ? I want to restore my Yamaha ns1000
I don’t know. If the drivers are bad you can detach online. Insta or FB
Woot!!!
Thanks my friend!!!
Holo Sonora!
Yeah!!!
Excellente
Thank you!!!
I am not stalking you, I am trying to give you all the thumbs up I can.. So I guess that is stalking, but for a good purpose!
Hahahah! It’s all good man!! Thanks for all of that!!! Helps
Thank you
Dimensions please i want to try it for my home.
aren’t the metal case going to prevent rf signal to reach that bluetooth receiver? :)
Hello Alex! Thanks for reaching. It doesn’t. The top grill allows signal to go through.
Does this not need crossovers? Sorry, I still cant seem to comprehend crossovers!
Hey Brian. Thanks for reaching. Yes they have crossovers. It might be in the video…? I don’t remember.
Hallo...I bought a CHR-90 for my system, their contacts are attached to plastic, when connected with a soldering iron, won't they melt, like you connected the wires?
Hey Andrej. Yes, they can melt. Do it quick or use connectors. If it’s a lot of heat for a while, we have a problem hehe
@@sonnoradesign Thank you... your video is very cool... waiting more videos
@@andrejsjegorovs615 thank you my friend
amazing speakers for 200$
Those are good cost benefit for sure. Very articulated highs!!
It's amazing
Thank you my friend!!
Nice boxes really love them you funny
Haha! Thanks Donald!!
Hi for the Mid Brother Tower Speakers build video on TH-cam. The attached crossover video showes the positive lead from thr amp going to the negative of the first driver and the positive going to ground, is that correct? I am trying to build these speakers and I'm stuck at the crossover. Please advise, I am desperate. Thanks.
Hey Nick. That’s right! This is a series crossover. Just follow the image and it’s gonna be ok. Make sure you make all the connections right! Thanks my friend
Great design really... l simply love it.
Hey Magnus!! Thank you my friend!! I really appreciate it.
I loved this! Can you make a video about a guitar amp being transformed into a home speaker that Bluetooth? I have one but I’m not sure where to place things to make it look great and not just function.
Superb skills! Have you considered building a Voigt pipe or a BIB version. Would be interesting to see what you think of those designs.
Hey Dave! Yes, I’ve thought about a folded horn, voigt pipe… those are cool designs. I’m working on a mass loaded transmission line now.
@@sonnoradesign Look forward to seeing how you get on with the TLs. They had a bit of a cult following many years ago. Some friends had TDL versions that sounded impressive!
Great video,. waiting for Video 3
Thank you my friend!!!
I hope this post finds you well. I am writing to inform you that I am going to try building a CHR. I have been setting up the tools that I need to get a good result, and I am almost ready to begin. I hope that everything is going well for you. I will keep you updated on my progress, and I will let you know when I have completed the build. Thank you for the videos that you have shared with us. They have been very helpful in my understanding of the CHR project. I also appreciate your dedication to the project. You have stuck with it until you were satisfied with the results, and I am inspired by your determination. Bobby G
Hey Bobby! Thank you my friend! Yes, that was a challenging one. I guess it can always get a “little” better. I’m pretty happy with it. Let me know how does it work!! Thanks for watching.
If the QTS value of the woofer is 0.46, shouldn't the cabinet be made as a closed type? I think the Qts value of the tweeter is 0.92 seems to be high. I think the value below 0.707 is an appropriate value.
Superb grain matching there. Impressive skills and use of your nice workshop. I am no longer allowed to keep house plants... I am too neglectful! Thanks!
Haha! Right!! Thanks for watching my friend!! Keep the plants alive!
I've seen people use the bottom of their garden as an anechoic chamber substitute. If you are away from buildings and dont have street noise this should work!? Dense foliage also helps absorb sound.
That’s good tip. I try to do it outside, road noise, birds, dogs, sirens… LA style haha. It works well thought you are right!
Amazing paint job! Thanks for all your effort and enthusiasm. Lovely, tidy workshop by the way. Just prdered a pair of these drivers. Considering a voigt pipe type design. The BIB version is interesting too.
You should try! There are a lot of designs for the mark audios, let me know how it works!!
@@sonnoradesign Good man! I will let you know. I'm more of a wood butcher than a cabinet maker like yourself. There are some mad angles to work out on my design. Are there any Cad tools that you use to help with this stuff?
What kind of screen ratio that you r using.... Disgusting to watch....
I'd like to see you do something with either open baffle or horns. Or both together
Horns are cool! I’m working on a Más’s loaded transmission line at this time!
Speed knob from Gibson
Right!!! Love that one! Thanks for watching!
Where are you man? Haven't seen anything from you in a while
Hey dude. I’ve been working like crazy with furniture but I’m finishing a new video soon!!’ Thanks for checking in!
Hello. Can you please give me the circuit diagram of the crossover that you feel is most suitable? Thank you very much
Hey There. The diagram is in the video. I’m using a series crossover for that one.
Bonjour..... êtes vous le frère caché de Jean-claude Van Damme ?????
Haven't seen any posts in a while. Miss your content. I really hope all is well with you and yours, best wishes!!!
Thank you my friend! It’s all good just been working a lot with furniture design/build!!! Thanks for checking in
at 26:23 are those Pioneer SA series amp and preamp?
Thats right! I love those! Bough a few back in the day. Sa7500, Sa8500 and Sa8800
@@sonnoradesign I had the sa8800...one of the best I have ever had
Cool 😎
Thanks Ryan!!!
Yes, I would like to see the larger speaker build next.
Right!!!
What is your favorite Mark Audio driver ?
I like the CHR series cause of good results, handle power well but… they are “bright”. I’m about to work on the alpair soon. Let’s see
hi and thanks, no measurements ?
CHR sound is better
Thanks for watching Andrej!!
How about some new content ? I like your videos Hope you are well You should check out the video on GR Research on those DW’s Those metal tweeter horns would be an easy replacement/upgrade in performance Regardless, new content please
Hey there! Thanks for reaching. That’s right. Strange results on those DW. I’ve watched it, great content from Danny. Thanks man. I’m working on new videos. Been very busy at work.
Mad as a badger!
Hi Can u make a training video how to use use rew to measure speaker of any speaker that you have built so I can copy same
@@anandshah71 hey Anand. Thanks for reaching. Yes I might show that in details sometime in the future. There are some good tutorials on TH-cam
Thank you, great explanation. Only a question: why you didn't fed the BT board directly from the amp's power supply? I'm looking forward to do it myself with my amp
Do you sell your builds?
Great design. What product are you using to coat the front baffles black?
Hey there! Thanks for watching! I use that matte black rust oleum spray and matte clear coat as well. All at Home Depot. Simple stuff.
