I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. My spring has kind of gone off the rails and I'm not going to make it. Would desperately love to hear PWRRYD's open baffle, JR's 3-way, and all the surprises unveiled there, but just can't get there. Targeting Grinnell.
I'm sorry to hear you're not going to make it this weekend. I always look forward to seeing and hearing your designs. Life has a way of getting in the way of having fun. see you in Grinnell if its not on the 1st or last weekend of October. I'm in California both of those weeks.
Wow! Just got home. I had to drive through a crazy storm just west of LaCrosse WI. Hail, high winds that switched back and forth from south to north. The sky turned black and the temp fell from 92 to 66 in less than one minute. I put her to the floor and got out of it as fast as I could. It's all good. I'm home safe and sound and had a blast this weekend. Great event JR, Jason, and Brian. Oh, and the food was great too Nick (and others). Look forward to seeing everyone again in Iowa this fall.
Also I look forward to seeing Bill's pictures posted and reading everyones' comments on all the speaker designs. There were some great ones and not a single sticker. I really mean that.
My first Midwest DIY was DDIY and the FREAK'N best is DDIY. I'm humbled by this brotherhood!All my love to JR, BK, JP, Nick(glad you skipped the speedo) and everyone who made me feel like a brother. Yeah I know it's pretty corny, but FACT! Thanks for a memorable weekend. Kenny
Thanks to JR, Amanda, Jason, Bryan, and the band for putting on another great show. I agree, not a bad sounding speaker could be heard. I got a great deal of excellent feedback on my speakers. It was very instructive to hear the difference in sound as we moved the speakers back to the rear wall and then further out into the room. Also, a big thanks to Curt C. for coming to the rescue with his Hafler amp when the big amp went down.
Just getting on-line since driving home. I drove past that same dark storm about 2 hours after Craig, 30 degree drop in 30 seconds. Wow.
Mailed the picture disc to Bryan today, he should get it by Saturday. 147 keepers plus 8 panos. Will post a few samples shortly.
I just finished sanding and polishing them last night. They shine like crazy but my crappy painting skills show through with mottling in the black under the many coats of clear. They look great in the normal/dim lighting in my listening room but don't look so great under bright light and close inspection.
I'm afraid I'll lose points from the judges but it is what it is. One of these days I'll veneer them.
It was my first DDIY event, and I had a blast! Great camaraderie
and a relaxed atmosphere made it a very enjoyable experience. My thanks to
Johnny, Brian, Jason, and of course Amanda for all your efforts. It takes a
tremendous amount of effort to pull off such a seamless event. Much
appreciated!
He may be able to provide some information on the Yellow
drivers that were used on the Helios. He indicated they have a pretty high MOQ,
but I'm guessing if enough interest was there, perhaps a group purchase could be arraigned. The
current exchange rate is about $1 USD = $1.34 CAD
BTW you heard the Polar Caps in the Helios
Tweeter circuit. The ones I used were made in Germany, and I was quite enamored with them.
Jim, in the picture of your buffed out Bordeaux's I think I saw a little orange peel in
the upper corner of one…

Remember, it is also about the food...
I'll be on the road in a couple hours.
