    My sonosub is complete!

    It's finally done! I started last Saturday with some shopping, and put the finishing touches on yesterday morning. Unfortunately, since I was using my Dad's workshop, and my apartment is currently being packed for a move, I won't be able to listen to the sub for a few weeks, but I'm itching...

    Is my Shiva defective?

    Let me see if I can explain this properly. I received my Shiva about a week ago from Bob Reimer (Canadian Adire dealer), who is an excellent person to deal with. I was preparing to mount it today, when I realized that the outer foam ring, that is, the one that is notched for the mounting...

    A bookshelf as a centre channel? (Axiom M3Ti)

    Weeks of auditioning passes by, and now... I am about to embark down the Axiom road, and have decided on M3Ti's for my fronts. I was originally considering the VP100 for my centre channel, but have recently begun to think about another M3Ti as a centre. Is anyone doing this currently, or...

    Pi speakers: has anyone built them?

    I've been reading about these at www.audioasylum.com in the dedicated 'Pi speakers' section. They seem like an inexpensive, yet interesting project. I had the good fortune of hearing some of the 'four pi' speakers at a local store, and they sound spectacular. I was wondering if anyone at HTF...

    Alternative sonotube shapes

    I stumbled upon this website that sells 0.375" thick fiberboard tubing in a variety of shapes. Although the baffle cutouts would be more demanding, some of these look fairly interesting. The 'D' shape would be interesting for amp mounting. http://www.cubiconcorp.com/shapes.htm -Nick

    How does this car audio driver look for a sonosub?

    Here's the story: I'm interested in building a ported sonosub. I've fiddled with WinISD (although not in the last few months) and the ported.xls spreadsheet from www.diysubwoofers.org, and of course, reading through many posts right here. I'm considering the Dayton 12" DVC driver (not...

    Has anyone else auditioned the Energy Connoisseur series?

    I listened to the C-1 (bookshelf) speakers last night, which sound very impressive for the price (sticker = CDN$400). I feel that they sound a bit more detailed than the XL line. I listened to them as hooked up to a Denon two-channel receiver (DRA685, I believe) and a Denon CD changer. I feel...

    Does size matter? (Toshiba 20AF41 vs. 27A41)

    I am plagued with the following problem. I am able to get either the Toshiba 20AF41 (20" flat screen model) or the Toshiba 27A41 (27" standard screen model) for roughly the same price. I have seen both these sets, and am suitably impressed. The inputs and outputs are roughly (if not exactly)...

    First DIY project in Toronto, looking for stores!

    In a month or so, I expect to begin my first foray into the world of DIY with a subwoofer (most likely), or perhaps a small pair of bookshelf speakers. At any rate, what I am looking for is a good Toronto-area store for components. I know of a few online retailers (Adire, PartsExpress) but I...
