Yeah, I kind of missed the mark on that. I built these originally a few years ago and wasn't set up to do driver or impedance measurements. Looking back at my winisd file it looks like I was shooting for 37. Don't know where I went wrong, bu…

I have taken some measurements at roughly 45 degrees to the right and left, but I should probably take some more. Making a turntable for speaker measurements is on my to do list.

I have been listening to these off-axis a bit, because that's how It will be once they are mounted in my garage. I am happy with how they sound. I tried padding the tweeter down some, but I liked this better.
Thanks,

I have gone in a different direction with these, same drivers, different layout....

Would still like to hear yours, trying to make it to Iowa this year.

I thought it was still available everywhere. Much easier for me to navigate than Facebook marketplace.

I list stuff for sale on it all the time, no fee. I think there are fees if you are a business.

They usually sit up on a shelf in the garage and are only playing at low volumes in the background on a cheap amp, but when I pulled them down yesterday and did some critical listening to those amps, I was reminded how good they sound. I was…

Yeah I like the look of that one too. It is an entry level unit, but it sounds pretty good, better than the 425R and comparable to the 295. Going to need to do some more listening to decide which I prefer. Plus it has a subwoofer out and pho…

I pulled the trigger on a pair of those last night. With a 10% off code and with free shipping over $49, only cost me $76 to my door. Been thinking about a pair of these for a while and couldn't pass it up.
I hit up Craigslist this morning and found a Dayton APA-150 for $100. So I picked that up.
Then this afternoon I found these:

The Onkyo and the 425R are in like new condition and the 295 is not …

I have been trolling the local craigslist for a vintage amp, but so far have come up empty. Found a Kenwood KA-3500, but it needs some work and I have never attempted to repair an amp.
Thanks everyone, lots of great information.
Both Iowa and SoDak seem to be more laid back and casual, and that is more appealing to me.
I think I am going to try and attend SoDak and go from there.

I would say that great minds think alike, but I am not sure I belong in that conversation....
Seems like there is a lot of love out there for that RT1.3.

This is the best way I have found so far. I have a hard time explaining these things, so bear with me.
I am going to cut a sample baffle out of 3/4" material. The top facet is going to be 1-1/2" wide.
The shaded area is the mater…
I made a thing.
I needed a way to cut some shallow angle (22.5 degree) facets on the baffles for an upcoming project so I made this:
