Today was a great day. Tired so short summary.

They are ever so close to done. Today they were put on their backs and the bottoms got sealed with shellac. Then it was soldering time. Double and triple checked all phasing. Fifteen drivers worth of screwdriver goodness. Ouch! Forearm was locking up.



Each driver was soldered carefully. So glad to have a proper soldering station now. A must for repetitive work. Saves a lot of frustration for sure.



And after all the pulsating parts were installed. Was pretty excited at this point. Bouncing around with a grin as I cleaned up. laugh




And finally drug down to the basement lobby. Here is one standing beside the heavy DIY isolation doors we made, 3" thick. These towers are big, serious, heavy, monoliths!!

Just have to solder to the crossovers and fire them up. But not today.....

Just for fun to share this exciting moment of potential. The small ones are similar size to M60s....

These would be M-Ultras? It would be fun for Axiom to make a concept speaker like this and share. They actually know what they're doing. laugh

Almost M-possible to move on my own. A couple towels to slide on the vinyl floor and MDF surfboards for carpet.

I think your next purchase should be a better camera . Looking forward to your listening impressions. Looking good.

The room is blown apart and I'm starting to solder everything up. One speaker lives. No smoke came out. Good news....

So far sounds decent. There was a definite shift in the first few minutes. Sounded terrible at first startup. Strident and shreaky. Should settle down a bit more by other builders accounts.

Sorry. Let's make it better to follow along. smile

Soldering setup at ground level. Perfect for the core muscles.



Closeup of first completed crossover. Soldering #10 stranded is a bitch. Hot hot hot.



The displaced... frown



From the bar stool listening row. Which btw is not a good match for the ribbon tweeters. Sitting at proper height is a must with them. My wife came in for a quick listen and did the lean forward "might fart" pose to listen. Lol.



If my posting style comes off lazy recently it's because I'm using my phone. A proper post might come this weekend if there's time to finish up and start testing/tuning. My Saturday is shot with an install. Another Atmos install for someone else.....
