Just wanted to say I heard Tim's speakers at the meet last weekend. They sounded great and would seem to have provide a terrific bang for the buck. Not to mention those little drivers look damn sexy!

If you think the screws weigh more than the wood, then I'll let you carry them next time ;) Seriously thanks for hosting this at your offices and doing the raffle. Also the presentations on driver design and speaker re-coning were very informative. I had a blast! George

I vote for B from an aesthetic perspective. Also you could check out the rubber feet from Acoustic Visions. I got to see some in person today and they look better than I thought they would.

hmmm....some food for thought. Thanks Brian, George

hello Brian, I too have built some Rhythms and I'm very pleased with the sound. One thing I have noticed is that the bass from these speakers is exactly what I'm looking for in terms of a balance between music and HT. It follows then that my ideal subwoofer would have the same sound as my...

That looks great! You will have plenty of room for your expanding collection. Just curious, but how did you frost the glass? George

Seems that it does Mike, I would take a look at Aspen amplifiers. You can find their forum here: http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/v...b7e8f82386f468 I can not vouch for them directly as I have not yet had time to build my kit, but I have yet to hear any negative comments about them. You might...

I'm glad this topic came up, because I hadn't heard of fsv before. Sounds like a good alternative for contact cement that doesn't require a press. Let us know how your project turns out. George

Thanks John. I would love to hear your setup but it might be a few weeks before I have enough free time to spare. I will PM you when things slow down a bit.

John, Thanks for the pictures. Dust blobs or not, it looks like your speakers turned out great; congrats! I considered adding a plinth as well but since my current couch sits so low I decided against it for now, just a bit of tilt does the trick. Yes I would love to get your opinion as to how...

John, Northcreek has been changing their offerings lately as they've started using some tweeters of their own design. I ordered a pair of Rhythm values but George recommended their new D28 tweeter over the 9500 so I went with that. With their new offerings I believe what I ordered would be...

This is a great idea! I've just signed up and I'll be bringing along my newly completed North Creek Rhythm speakers.

water has always worked fine for me, but I usually only use it for removing mdf dust.

Thanks Jeff, You just saved me $10, I will get the whiteside bit. George

Hey Dan, I do have access to a table saw but it is very inacurate and our efforts at recalibrating it have always ended in failure. I don't want to risk having the chamfers being uneven on my cabinet so I am going to use a bit for now. Thanks for the tip though, George
