    Smile My first DIY speaker

    Hi,

    Just finished my first DIY speaker. It using PEECREEK x-over. The woofer is still the same with PEECREEK but I change tweeter with SEAS 27TBFC/GTV.

    I really like the sound especially the tweeter

    Hi,

    I don't use usher tweeter because :

    1. For 1 usher tweeter I can get 2 seas tweeter
    2. I buy everything from Madisound and they not sell usher tweeter

    BTW this metal dome from seas is excellent, it have a good micro detail without being bright

    So now you have 2 Pee-Seas. (okay bit of a stretch)
    Man, look what Wayne J's started. Funny, Ed Frias' ar.com DIY speaker (which I'm in the middle of now), following this naming convention, would be the Pee-Pee.

    I've got two of the North Creek tweeters I was going to use in PeeCreek, but now I'm thinking about getting the Usher or Morel. 'cept I then I'm stuck with 2 tweeters and I gots me enough projects lined up. And I don't even live in my house yet.

    Erwin P, that's a sweet looking speaker, is that the PE 0.38 cu-ft box? Very nice. How's it sound.
    Do you have any commercial, brand-name speakers at home you can compare this too?

    Good job!

    No, I haven't. I believe on this forum there are more people love ar.com, peecreek than on madisound board

    No, It isn't PE 0.38 cuft box ( I live in Indonesia ). I have decent woodworker to make a box for me. It is use 15mm MDF ( can't find 18mm) and layered with 3mm Teak plywood.

    This PEE-SEAS will replace my wharfedale AT400 on my home theater setup. Compare to this wharfedale ( I bought around 400usd here ) it sound much cleaner, more airy on high and imaging is much better, but loss on bass region ( AT400 have 2 8inch woofer so I can accept that )

    For my room (music listening) I have CHARIO ( I bought it around 600 usd ) compare to this maybe I still choose CHARIO for music because It sound different it more warmth, wider soundstage and bass response is good too ( it's only 5 inch woofer )

    You're woodworker did a great job by the looks of things. And the finish looks like a nice, soft, satin-black.
    What's next for you? 3-way towers? Transmission Line speakers? Sub-woofer (fun to build).

    Sorry for image quality, I use NOKIA 7610 to take a picture the front panel I use rust oleum textured.

    My next project is center channel to replace my B&W LCR 3, my plant is using the same tweeter but still looking for shielded woofer.
