WOWOWOW. i'm simply blown away by your work !!. what an awesome project. i enjoyed every minute of this video. i was watching one of your videos about the Mcintosh gears, and fell in love with those speakers that i had no idea what they were. . i thought they were made by some hi-end manufacturer that cost 100 K !.. then comes to find out that there're DIY by you. all i wanna say is that i'm extremely impressed with the build quality. the fineness. the finishing. the look . and best of it all is the SOUND QUALITY 💖💖💖💖💖 !. they do sound AWESOME. Kudos 👍👍👍 . i'm green with envy ☺ .you have a great talent.
While any doubts about this guy actually knowing "WTH he's doing" had certainly diminished, by 23:53 it was blatantly obvious that not only does he know what he's doing, he was generous enough to put out a masterclass on the subject. 👌👏🙏
Excellent presentation! That build looked like a lot of fun, except for that woofer layer with the 2-part resin - that must have been a very anxious step with the clock running on the cure. Great job!
Hi Gabby, great Videos!! - I and my wife really like your new GS-11 speakers!! Could you maybe do a Video so we can here your new GS-11 speakers play different types of music , and some of Your favorite Music too??? I was very impressed with your thought process and your build process , I've been an Audiophile for about 35 years and have high standards, and there is very little that I would do differently than you have in your build! - - - Funny when I was younger I worked somewhere that had those shredded rubber mats that you used inside the speaker, and I also use to wonder if they would be good in a speaker box...LOL Thank you, Kind regards, Dean
Thank you Dean I enjoyed reading your comment glad you guys liked the video and the channel. I have a video where I compare the PS audio to the Denafrips terminator where you can here a few songs, not the best and my favorites due to TH-cam copy rights rules but will give a glimpse of the sound minus the imaging. th-cam.com/video/2pPKyjZjj88/w-d-xo.html Glad you liked the shredded rubber mat trick :) Gaby
Your attention to detail and the quality of the construction is impeccable. The frequency response looks great and with the woofer going so low is what I would look for also. You should be very proud of this. It is amazing. Thank you for sharing this and like I said last video,this is very inspiring.
Good to see you putting real effort in where it counts, the frequency response on these speakers is incredible and they also look amazing too. Great design and attention to detail during construction with a result to be proud of.
when you enjoy hifi the ultimate expression of that is make some yourself :) you really made some of the best cabinet, it was a joy to watch the process. i did make some myself recently, and i had to use active crossover because i do not have a clue about passive. also had a problem with hiss noise so i sold the plate amp but still have the speakers. i also made it a 3 way, but the 2 way part was separate and the bottom was like 2 stereo subwoofers. and compared to yours the cabinet is simple stuff, mdf wood with rubber layer on the inside. all by boxes was sealed so i filled it with some shredded fabric material made for the use, its pretty heavy compared to most other loose stuff normally sold.
@@Gabster1 Yeah, I listen with reference head phones and you can tell he has a very good mic ... I can hear his foot steps @2:25 ... they sound exactly like my floor when I walk on then in socks. The bass drum sounds like you are standing 8 feet from the real thing ... you can just about tell the quality of the drum skin ... that was meant to be disparaging unless I'm picking up some room vibration.
Very impressive accomplishment, unique design and very tasteful aesthetics, all the way down to those beautiful spiky legs ! The crossover networks are loaded with premium parts, nicely arranged that are a pleasure to look at ! maybe a side vented clear acrylic box over them just to showcase them and keep dust away ? Congratulation on you channel, I just subscribed. best regards from California.
Fantastic! Couldn't wait to see the woofer & mid-range enclosure construction after watching part 1. The end result has gotta be VERY satisfying. There's no way a commercially built product could offer the same level of involvement or bring the kind of joy that a finished project of this complexity brings. I might be borrowing some of your ideas, of course, with proper references :)
WOW! I can not say how many times i said Wow while watching this. As a lover of quality sound and a woodworker i was blown away by the detailed process. I particularly love the use of plumb-bobs for spike feet. The innovative building ideas you came up with in the shop were impressive. Love the shop. "I got tired of holding the sander" gave me a chuckle. I love copper and use it much in my projects. WOW, Thanks. Ps. They make a copper coupler that does not have the dimple. "Copper Slip Coupling"
A superb work, real art. I am interested in how such linearity is possible in the external measurement of speakers between 20hz and 40hz, where these values are usually around -6db. Is it possible to display measurements at a greater distance in the room at the listening position by capturing the L and R speakers together.
The measurement at 21:47 inside are way higher but not very linear mostly the port adds up better inside then outside. Since the port it is down firing it is hard to do a accurate measurement outside It is a lot easier measuring a front firing port as it would be in line with the drivers The curve I was aiming for inside is a bit higher in the low frequency and a bit in the high as flat can be boring Measurements change a lot as you move large speakers around inside or change the mic position outside at the end if they are for your own use in a fixed room best to do the final balance at the listening position.
Got them from Amazon they are huge wish they were a bit smaller but wanted a good contact they are triple contacts by 3 positions made for 3 phase so you can triple the contact surface to reduce any signal loss www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07ZKYDHF8/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A2KRDQ1AI5Y5G6&psc=1
Interesting! So you don't mind using screws for an ambitioned project? In my 1st LS build I used screws too, but later I thought that might be no good.
I am using a SFP fiber optic line with a simple Dlink Sfp terminal running on a linear PSU see my video about details :) th-cam.com/video/ybtRqJt8Vo8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hRIpe45TvWM3dlOC
isnt aluminum cabinet (or steel) more stiff? add to that aperiodic cabinet with stuffed large vent like in Zellaton flagship models or ME Geithain and you should in theory get more quality bass. What do you think?
This is definitely one of the best design DIY speaker I have seen. Congratulations. Is there any way to get a part list and attempt to build it myself? Would be a fantastic project
Questions: 1. What crossover points did you settle on? Did you match directivity between mid and tweet or did you let the mid go as high as possible to avoid crossover in the vocal range? Comments: 2. I would have copied B&W matrix bracing technique for the midbass enclosure. 3. It doesn't look like you followed the B&W marlan head enclosure shape for the front of the midrange enclosure. I would have. Suggestion: 5. I you still can, line the enclosure walls with hawaphon steel pellet mats. Especially the midrange enclosure.
Your ingenuity is amazing! I really like your layering methods to help with dampening. One thing I noticed I didn’t see the back side of the baffles rounded over where the drivers sit. What’s your thoughts on that?
Excellent craftsmanship, did you consider a closed enclosure with a larger woofer at any point, looks like your cabinet could handle the pressures quite easily.
The Scanspeak 32W 12 inch woofer is a excellent woofer I love the sound that it makes Clear and relaxed Drums actually sound like drums, not compressed. The bigger woofers seem to loose a bit in sound quality and speed I am a big believer of very large volume for the woofer with a large port It seems to give a sense of a open baffle. but that is just me. I debated double woofers but the almost round design di not help.
First, sorry for mi english, i´m only speak spanish. I love this project. Can you say what brand of speakers you use? The bass cabinet have not resonance port ? Is a closed box? I use the LEAP software for design and simulate the box, xover, response and more... Are you using some software ? Have you a medicion of the cabinet vibrations ? Sorry for the questions, i have some componets as SEAS and FOCAL woofers , Dyanudio middles and tweeters, JVC Ribbon tweeters and i m thinking in build a project similar to this. Congratulations.
Stunning build! I am particularly curious about your use of Acoust-X in the woofer cabinet. In this build you use it as a laminating "adhesive" in the woofer cabinet multi-layer wall structure, similar to your horn build where you also use it on the inside of the cabinet with a thin plywood laminate. I notice you also use Acoust-X as a thick unconstrained paint inside the cabinet including the bracing structures. Is it best used as a CLD layer between rigid structures or is surface application on surfaces equally effective?
For internal walls that will not easily resonate to the outside just painting them is fine that is what the manufacturer recommend. For outside walls using various layers that are different is the ultimate way as far as I see it. Using Acoust-x in between reduces the waves from resonating via the outside wall. I did some tests may be one day I will make a video about it where I used it between rigid structures and non rigid like rubber and it did well I was concerned about it not drying but as long as one side is wood it will dry as wood will extract the water over time. when possible let it dry for a couple days before adding more layers. Please note this is how I do it and I could be wrong, but my measurements and listening tests are very encouraging.
Hey bro u seem like a genuine person, I live in India and have my own sort of brand, I make for local clients , mostly home theaters only but for personal rig I have many self made tube amps, single ended mostly , you should visit India, I will take u to visit the real hidden gems plus I'm not poor or anything I have a good house and extra guest room as well, that's my music room lol
@@Gabster1 would u mind Reviewing my speakers, u can demo them as well, my speakers are made by instrument level wood, I stay as far away from mdf as possible, I basically only use ply and real wood only
If the woofer crossover point is low enough and the wave length is bigger from the size box, then the shape of the box or the acoustic damper inside really doesn't matter.. Cause there is no standing wave. There are a lot of subwoofers without insulation inside with just an ordinary cube box..
Not sure where you are these are from Homedepot 4x8 sheets of 1/8 plywood Should find them in any big lumber store You will need to score the tight curves lots of work
@@Gabster1 Thanks for the responed. We dont have this here but i finally found a good online shop.:) One more Question the absorptive layer what material is it? It not rubber i guess
Exact measurements are reasonably not critical it is a simple design in a way the woofer cabinet inside dimensions are a 19 inch Radius with 4 inches above the circle by 20.5 inches deep outside are 22x24 (wall is about 1.5 inches thick ) The Midrange inside measurements are around 6.5 inches radius at the widest by 16 inches. I never did a drawing I built it big thinking could add more stuffing If I need to downsize. All the best with your build :)
@@dejanusic3852 Scan speak 32W/4878T01 woofer, 5inch BW D3 Midrange, Ral 140 15DAM tweeter I will be doing a video about the crossovers in the future. it is a simple second order design .
You are not dependent on back wall distance you have it fixed also esthetics the bass is smoother and will sound therefore bigger and tighter The wider bottom funnel will act a a big flare eliminating shuffle sounds
For building this you need a workshop filled with expensive mashines like is shown here. If you dont have it you can forgot about that and rather invest the same money to get a high end speaker from you dealer. If a speaker needs to have this rounded geometry and fancy multilayer coverage can be be truly doubted. There exist lots of excellent DIY speaker that use conventional shape and sound great with simple MDF coated with whool or similar and even expensive commercial designs usually do not consist of this sophisticated multilayer stuff. I really doubt that this complicated procedure has that effect on acustic quality.
I’ve done enough woodworking to have the greatest respect for the planning and building process of these loudspeakers. A true leap of faith as it appears to be an original design.

Hello Gabster,
Excelent job. Is there any drawings with dimension of Your high end speakers. I would like to make something similar.
Exact measurements are reasonably not critical it is a simple design in a way the woofer cabinet inside dimensions are a 19 inch Radius with 4 inches above the circle by 20.5 inches deep
outside are 22x24 (wall is about 1.5 inches thick )
