Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

O.B. is cheap, easy, fun.

One can always 'upgrade' until the cows come home [to watch a DVD (even have some popcorn)]. But, one can buy a wide range or full range vintage driver for pennies. Then buzz out some holes in two plywood pieces, prop a stick on the back. Bang, boom, bing .... done.

Music.

I've got mebbe a hundred twenty five dollars total, in me current speaks (vint 12" cast frame, alnico wide range. Vint alnico cast bullet horn tweets, cap assortment, L-pads, angle bracket feet, spikes). No inductors (thank you very much).

Hard to believe twelves can have midrange magic, and also disappear (no, I ain't complaining). In my small room, I attenuate the back wave with a single drape of fabric, over the speaker's back (season to taste). I have imaging and depth in spades (and .... a luverly bottom end). Theory, talk, indecision, projection. Just grab you somethin, an get a listenin :-)
