Manger speakers

Some pictures of my Manger speakers. Manger transducer mounted in hardwood sphere. Constructed form laminated Maple & Black Walnut. Crossover to bass unit at 220Hz to an 8" Seas metal driver mounted in the cone, unit fires onto 50mm granite disc. The head will eventually be mounted on 3 balls, two rubber and a brass ball mounted onto a 6mm stainless steel rod that passes through the cone and rests on a point on the granite.
Units powered by a 4 channel PWM (LC audio) amp with active crossover. Project concieved and produced before Overkill Audio produced their very expensive speakers
Hope you enjoy the pics.

Hmmm stripey.

Nice finish too. Sound?

 

Looks like you took a lot of time over them...not quite my taste but thats to take nothing away from them.

What cables are you using ?

 

They sound like life !

Having sat 5 ' from Tina May and a panio, I can reproduce that live sound, every nuance of that perfect voice. The hairs stand up on your neck. They sound nothing like speakers.

I doubt Jam will do anything to improve the asthetics.

Hi Zanash
Cables are silver plated OFC from The Missing Link with Silver plated banana plugs. Very good value and good quality.
soft and plyable.

I tried some of theres ...missing link is just down the road. I think they were sling shots, but they were now where near my diy silvers and considerably more expensive to boot !
