I’m new to the group, so a little background: I used to have my own amps and speakers shop back in Argentina, and right after I arrived in the States, I went to Parts Express and found out about the speaker design competition. I’ve been hooked ever since — it’s letting me channel my speaker freak/musician energy in a positive way.
I’m trying not to be shy, but my English is still a work in progress, so please bear with me. Back home I used to give lectures and be a pretty funny frontman in my band. Here I can barely ask for basic instructions… so frustrating
But I would love to learn from/about your projects and swap ideas with such talented builders . So I’m putting myself out there and joining the club.
You should definitely try to come to one (or more) of the group’s get togethers (Argentine wines are more than welcome- ha). I’ve always found them enjoyable - a great group of guys and very interesting and unique speaker builds.
Thank you, Tajanes — I’d love to join those get-togethers (and with wine, it won’t matter how bad my English is!). Thanks to Wolf’s invitation, I went to inDIYana, and it was very fun
I had no idea you were “so close” in Ohio. I’m in Hamilton, a little northwest of Cincinnati.
Glad to see you here!
I thought you have pretty good english, but I suppose what I’m hearing has alot of effort put into it. So I understand that can be exhausting to maintain.
For reference, I’m the guy who spoke briefly with you about the MAC-05. My father was next to me in the seating.
Welcome Amigo. Look at this little guy. He was on our front porch, scared to death. I guess he is our new family member now. But we need a name for him. Please help. I know you like cats.
And you’re right, @Ani@KenRhodes@Wolf grand rapids is close. The issue is we have to take care of my nephews that weekend, but if that plan doesn’t work out, we’ll be there!
By then I should have a prototype of what I’m building for my sister’s living room. I’ll start posting something about it
@DrewsBrews Yes, I remember your great Peerless build. By the way, I never got the chance to ask whoever used that MAC driver how to get in touch with Brian from Jules Fidelity.
@ron-e Iowa feels a little far for me, but maybe for my wife it’s nothing. I don’t have that “driving 8 hours like it’s nothing” culture.
And congratulations @Eggguy — he’s going to help you build resilience when he’s jumping on your work in progress and he looks like a tweeter to me!
Brad (username hifiside here and a few other places) runs Jule Fidelity. The MAC drivers come in 4, 5 and 6 inch sizes. Look at the sale on crossover components too!
David beat me to it… Brad is a great guy and his service is excellent. I buy parts from him whenever I can. I have used the MAC 4" (there is kit available on his site) and the 6" in a large stand mount MTM. The drivers are great.
