zxsonnyxz Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Here's another little winter project of mine If you look at my Saab build you'll se that I've been wanting to try theese speakers for some time now. I finally get to test them, and to begin with I'll use them as my computer speakers. The only filtering I have on them is a notch filter to calm down the break-up in the top. They are driven by a NAD stereo receiver. I would like to get another amp with higher SQ abilities and a DAC for my computer, but I can't afford that right now.They are in 5L sealed enclosures, with some stuffing on the inside. I haven't got to play them propperly as it got a little late before I got them together, but I have a few pics at least. I'm quite pleased with the enclosures! I very much appreciate comments STD Passat Build 151db+STD Omega BuildMitsubishi Colt Build - Alpine|Focal|PeerlessHome Stereo BuildSmall Tang Band build - 4" fullrangeBox for 4 8"My Saab 9000 Build- I'd be very happy if you cared to check out the logs and give feedback!

zxsonnyxz Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 After some more playtime I'll have to say I'm very pleased with them! Even more so as i got them at a 3rd of original price. To begin with I only had a suggested notch filter on them, and they sounded good, but there was a component of stress present in the sound if that makes sense. Also kind of a unnatural clarity created from the high freqs being a little loud. Now though, I've added a 6db low-pass filter that takes effect from around 10khz and up. I feel like they sound more natural and guitars and stuff sound more real. There's still plenty of detail up top, so I think it was a very appropriate adition. To bad I have kind of a sucky signal from my computer. With a propper source these should really come to life, but I can still enjoy the music STD Passat Build 151db+STD Omega BuildMitsubishi Colt Build - Alpine|Focal|PeerlessHome Stereo BuildSmall Tang Band build - 4" fullrangeBox for 4 8"My Saab 9000 Build- I'd be very happy if you cared to check out the logs and give feedback!

zxsonnyxz Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'm currently borrowing one of theese from a buddy. Gives a good clean signal without all the different noises I got from the stock mini-jack outputs. I tried an aftermarked sound card, with little luck. Still had a buzzing sound present. A DAC is definitely something I need for my computer if I'm to ever get close to Hi-fi.
