We have a friend who shall remain unnamed (Pete didn't want me to indicate these were his new Exoticas). While we were in the process of designing the Exotica 3's, he had plenty of time to explore design ideas. So he designed a rather novel set of cabinets and turned the project over to us to execute.
He wanted separate cabinets for the woofer section and the midrange/tweeter section. He wanted textured copper on the front baffles and had a sheet of raw textured copper sent to us. He specified everything down to the outriggers, feet, binding posts, etc.
While it may look simple, this was probably one of the most complicated builds we had ever done. Working with the copper was very tricky, so we had to work slow.
Here are the results...
Here's a side shot...
And a shot from the rear...
On Friday (Halloween), Pete and Brenda showed up with cases Pete had built for the tops, bottoms and outriggers - each appropriately sized and labeled.
While this pair required a lot of extra labor and we wouldn't necessarily want to duplicate again, it was fun to see if we could turn Pete's dream into reality.
Happy listening (name withheld upon request)...
