SOLD. Frugel-Horn Mk3 Speakers
« on: 14 Nov 2013, 03:32 pm »
Frugel-Horn Mk3 rear horn loaded speaker. Utilizes a single 4" full range driver, Mark Audio CHP-70 eN. The drivers were purchased new from Planet10 earlier this year. I built the speakers using Baltic Birch ply and copper internal wiring. They are fully glued ... no fasteners were used. The stabilizers have spikes attached for solid footing to the floor. They are painted a darker red with a black rear horn area, and look pretty good. They could be veneered if you preferred that look (not by me though!). These speakers sound very good, with a terrific mid-range and excellent imaging. The bass is remarkably good when corner-loaded. I use them with a sub, so I dont have them fully corner-loaded, and they perform well. Google them for tons of input. There's a couple very long threads on DIYAudio.com as well.

$OLD. Local pick-up only in the SE WI/NW Chicago area.

Is there an advantage in doing this or for some other reason?

No, just that I feel a glue joint is stronger, especially if done well.  Plus, it seals the cabinet up well.  Plus, I don't like screwing into the edge grain of plywood...

Thanks!
