Hi end speaker cabinets
Parker series. A key area, for any high-end speaker producer is to minimise distortion and reduce resonance. We have achieved this through cabinet design, precision materials and finely-tuned components. However, each speaker must stand on a floor - this creates its own resonance factors. These distortions are artefacts which muddy the soundstage. We worked with audio isolation leaders IsoAcoustics to create Marten Isolators.

David, aka Grumpy, needs our help. Great news. David is home! It was quite the ordeal to get him home and into the house, but it is done. Thank you to everyone for their support. Now a long road ahead to get him back on his feet and functioning normally. I have started a GoFundMe to help with the medical bills. Please help, if you can.

High end speaker construction - solid wood? I've been browsing some audio porn lately, in particular lines from Vienna Acoustics and Sonus Faber. They make some gorgeous speakers, with solid wood visible.
Does anyone know if these cabinets are constructed entirely out of solid wood, or are they made of MDF and covered with the wood? Some gorgeous speakers EDIT: Looks like they're solid wood Messages: 1, Location: Indianapolis, Indiana. Those are some beautiful cabinets!
A lot of veneering for the most part. As with the Sonus Faber, there are exceptions! TimF , Dec 2, Messages: 20, Location: Cleveland, Ohio. In the past I have read that MDF makes a better cabinet than solid wood. Messages: 22, Location: MI. I'd certainly recommend avoiding solid wood cabinets. Inconsistent densities, dimensional instability, and resonance issue make solid wood a no go in any of my projects.
If you have serious money to invest, you could get the wood stabilized, a process where the moisture in the wood is removed and replaced with acrylic. I could see this working out well for a cabinet. Messages: 1, Location: Ontario. Dave : as far as moisture replacement are you talking about PEG treatment of the wet wood like woodturners do?
Ive heard of completely covering all surfaces with a thick acrylic Machining it feels and smells like machining plastic, not wood. Messages: Location: Bloomington, IL. IIRC some of the brands were using baltic birch plywood. Its 13 ply and is supposed to be more consistent no voids than normal ply?
Don't remember exacly why it was supposed to be better than mdf, though Messages: 35, Location: Lindenhurst, IL. Well Sonus Fabers are made by violin artisans. They do layer wood on wood so it has strentgh as well as stability. Also I think they use special plywood for them. Pictures do not even do them any justice!! Some British speaker manufacturers use birch plywood as it is just as stable as MDF but less weight - Rogers is one. Messages: 19, Location: Hong Kong.
I saw a pair of solid wood speaker cabinets once. The drivers had been removed, so you could see the thick, solid blocks that built up the speakers, like massive butcher blocks but much larger pieces. It appeared to have been built for a D'Appolito Sp?
As others have said, though, solid wood is probably not the best things for speakers. If you want your speakers to have "colored" sound, it might work well. After all, solid woods are used to make the casings of many string instruments and some woodwinds and percussion instruments, too!
Hhhhmmmm, I wonder if anyone has tried making speaker cabinets out of the least resonant substance Arkay , Dec 2, Messages: 2, Location: Medford, OR. Messages: 3, Location: NW lower penninsula Michigan. To me, it appears that the construction method used on those should minimize the drawbacks of solid wood All those short, thick pieces of wood with the grain running the shorter dimension, glued together with some sort of different layer between them are almost like a macro-plywood. On top of that, there aren't many large flat surfaces either.
Seems like an acceptable solution to providing a solid-wood cabinet I'm no speaker expert, but speaking from a woodworkers POV, it makes sense. Messages: 20, Thorough "sealing" of solid lumber renders it probably as stable as manufactured products. Consistency can be ensured by hand selection. This has worked well enough for piano builders for the last couple centuries. A stable soundboard and bridges are imperative to tuning stability, and down bearing stability.
For speaker cabinets however, the cost and labor for the DIYer would seem to make it fairly prohibitive on a small or individual scale.
There are epoxy granite enclosures out there which would in my mind be nearly the perfect material. Highly damped and extraordinarily stiff. MDF is inexpensive, very stable, stiff enough, easy to work with, effective, and is an excellent substrate for various finishes.
You can go through a massive amount of effort and expense to approach it's quality. Messages: Location: Louisville, KY. There are two ways to really go about resonant issues. Build something heavy to make the resonant frequency lower than the intended range of the speaker or build it very stiff to raise the resonant frequency above the drivers range. For midrange cabinets, heavy and well damped MDF works well as it's easier to drop the resonance of the cabinet below the pass band.
For subwoofers and woofers producing very deep bass, the easier method is often to make the cabinets exceptionally stiff. This is where marine grade plywood and baltic birch shine. I suppose there is a third approach which is to have cabinets that intentionally resonate at some frequency deemed as pleasing and design the cabinets to dissipate the energy quickly. The first two is where I have found that most designers like to be, but the third option has a very devoted set of followers.
Messages: 3, Location: RIP The next project, Boy Wonder's own Maggie subs, will be slightly different. We were going to make the Stripes using such a method, but, I chickened out at the last minute.
However, the internal bracing we use is solid and well aged oak. M Jarve , Dec 2, You must log in or sign up to reply here. Show Ignored Content. Share This Page Tweet. Your name or email address: Do you already have an account?

Shopping for Vintage Speakers? Here's What You Need to Know
Settling on a design, choosing the right drivers, and working through the crossover issues can make some enthusiasts head spin. Relax; building a DIY-speaker is not that difficult or complicated. Great results are obtainable! What kind of speaker drivers should you use? How far apart and the best crossover point selection? Acoustic suspension or sealed diy speakers cabinet design offers the best transient response of any cabinet configuration. The roll off will occur at 6db per octave which results in a natural and gently descending bass curve. Magico uses sealed cabinets in all of their speaker designs for their superior transient response characteristics.
THE NEXT STADIUM STANDARD
Basically, you can get great sounding speakers at a low price. Plus if you enjoy woodworking and some electronics, then it can be an enjoyable hobby. Update: The quality of cheaper speakers has improved over the past couple of years, but there has also been a shift away from larger drivers in order to save on cost - the cost of a large woofer, the cost of the extra wood to build a box to hold the larger driver, and the cost of shipping a heavier speaker - up to pounds per speaker. Most speaker manufacturers both low and high end have shifted to systems with drivers 6. Subwoofers themselves are not a problem.
Top-10 ultimate high-end speakers
Eton S7. An Eton design, known for technical sound, very high-quality drivers, fast, with German engineering. Lumin One. A two-way kit Madisound is producing. Each cabinet is hand made, including veneering.
Concept 300
This tiny three-inch 60W speaker might well be one of the best-sounding loudspeakers you'll ever hear. Many claim that what they had heard has set the standard with which they compare all other loudspeakers. Our objective is to improve on that standard. On occasion, a supplementary bass driver might be used for frequencies under Hz. PHI has embarked on the design and manufacture of a brand new range of tuned pipe loudspeakers. Our focus has now broadened to include two wall-mounted loudspeaker models. The Serpula Stereo system comprise a high-end widerange driver, augmented in the lowest octave by a very accomplished, up-firing mid-bass driver.

Our backboxes are especially made for loudspeakers to do just that. Our products. Why backboxes from b-sound?
This look is enhanced by the elegantly shaped aluminium base mounted on the two floor-standing models. The use of the SMC disk greatly reduces mechanical distortion, which lowers third order distortion. This allows for a longer listening pleasure, a relaxed midrange and a surprising amount of detail for its price class. The driver materials, crossover design and geometry applied in the OBERON series has been selected to achieve a wide dispersion pattern. This ensures a well-integrated sound, even when listening at a significant off-axis angle. An added benefit is seriously reduced harmonic distortion and diffractions causing frequency distortion. This is why all DALI speakers are not designed to be toed-in.
