[QUOTE="Mark Wilkinson, post: 140836, member: 8989"] Re: 60 Degree DIY Mid Hi Hi Peter, .......trying to picture things ......did the miter cut, cut into the 12" baffle boards? If not, did you need to have the little "bridge" piece between the baffle boards to keep the miter cut from reaching into the boards? Switching gears....This weekend I kind of stepped back from playing solely with the DIYs, and set them up next to my other 2 rigs for comparison. I wanted to see if my enthusiasm for the DIYs was the famous "it's the newest, so it has to sound the best" syndrome :lol: I also wanted to see if all the spectacular detail from the DIYs was maybe due to an elevated HF... The other 2 rigs were 3TX & orbit shifter subs, and meyer mts4a, a four-way active full range box. I used the DIY's with the OS subs. Unfortunately, this was indoors. But at least it was in a fairly large room I'm familiar with. I know subjective evals like this are fraught with peril....and often worthless but here goes anyway... (No eq on any for comparison's sake, just a little coarse time alignment...) The first thing I learned is that the detail in the DIYS is not due to a HF bias. The mts4a is definitely the brightest box of the three rigs. It is a great sounding box that seems to do everything right from 30hz to as high as I can hear, but it simply doesn't have the transient response and midrange clarity of the DIY. The 3TX was the warmest of the three, and had surprising transient detail given the softer voicing....I guess due to its BMS driver. It has a very nice tonal balance. They work really well with the crankin OS subs (as do the DIYs) The DIY....easily the most open, [I]alive[/I], dynamic sounding box....easily. I can forget the 'new box is best syndrome' :D~:-D~:grin: [/QUOTE]
