These are modified from the "Suzy Chang" design. The aim was to fit
Fostex FE107e drivers into enclosures with a small footprint and limited
height (they have to stand beneath a window). The original design is for
FE103 drivers so I've resized things a bit.

The woodwork has to be done outside...

Some delay in getting these pictures ready. At the moment the WAF is too
low, so I've had to wait until now before bringing them into the house!

Still experimenting with stuffing. Some of this has been recycled through
many speakers now - and shows it! www.mixpix.batcave.net/3.jpg

The horn-type thingy end: www.mixpix.batcave.net/4.jpg

Testing at last. Amps shown running are a pair of Crimson monoblocks. The
one between them (not in use here) is an ancient but excellent NAD3020.

Not much in the way of bass on these (in theory -3dB is at 70Hz) but they
sound very nice with suitable program material. If I'm *very* lucky I'll
get the sides glued on before Christmas!



Another thing to try with a highish WAF are the metronomes designed by a
friend of mine.
