In part three of my series on building high end speakers, I address the need for filter networks with multiple driver speaker systems, and then compare the benefits and drawbacks of passive vs active crossover designs.

In this second video in the series, I discuss driver selection issues, including layout, multiple drivers, and driver qualifications.

This introduction presents the first in a new video series addressing high fidelity music reproduction system design.

In this video, I describe the two electronic crossovers I have built, the smaller two way design about 4-5 years ago, and the recent three way design in the past month.

This video outlines my rebuild of an old Rotel amp into a MOSFET amp using Phil Marchand's amp modules and power supply.

This video provides an update to a recently uploaded video in which I cover the performance of a multitude of interconnect cables. As is true elsewhere, I am not concerning myself with any specifications, and only concerning myself with the cable's sonic performance.

In this video, I address the differences between sealed and vented (also called ported) driver alignments used to set the low end response curve of a bass or bass-mid driver when mounted in an enclosure. I also suggest some of the advantages, disadvantages, and best recommended application of each type of alignment.

In this video I discuss my testing of various interconnect cables I owned or had purchased for comparison. Very interesting what I discovered, always learning. I'm still testing more cables in search of one that is superior to the Ruby's, look for a future video about this effort.

This video details the rational for and construction of a five sided speaker box for hi end audio reproduction systems. Materials used include oak laminated plywood available for purchase in 4 foot by 8 foot sheets at the local big box lumber shop. Minwax Red Oak 215 stain and clear polyurethane were used for finishing.

In this video, I describe the function of electronic crossovers used in active speaker systems, and then critique the new three way unit offered by Xkitz

In this video, I describe how the shape of a speaker box effects the frequency response of a bass driver, and I review my A-B test of two identical bass speaker systems with different box shapes to demonstrate that this difference is clearly audible.

This video describes an upgrade to the Active Speakers I built a few years earlier. The upgrade includes new tweeters, relocation of the port to the front of the cabinet, new bass speaker cables, and new wire connectors to the bass/mid driver. These upgrades brought this system into the same league with the Top of the Mountain system, which was my original goal. I would put this moderately pric...

This is another in a series of topic videos, providing folks the info needed in making decisions for building a speaker system from scratch.

In this video, I review the differences between a two way and a three way speaker system, including size, power handling, application, cost and level of complexity.
