What type of speakers (tower, monitor, powered) do you use in your primary system?

These are my 'Twins'.

 

I completed their construction about 4 years ago.

The drivers were spec'ed & the crossover designed by Jon Marsh.

While he builds speakers only as a hobby, he is the individual responsible for the first products from Avalon & consults for Ayre.

 

At 55 litres internal volume the construction is 3/4 inch Baltic birch ply with 1-1/2 inch solid poplar front baffles & extensive internal bracing, the scale tips to 80+ lbs each. With a 3 inch flarred bottom port they average out at a 4 ohm load with twin 6-1/2 inch woofers crossed over to the 1 inch tweeter at ~ 1200 Hz. These are rather amazing tweeters & Jon spared little expense in the crossover to take advantage of their mid-range capabilities.

The cost of the crossover components alone was twice that of the drivers.

I can not ressit showing off my new RCM (Record Cleaning Machine).

It is a new 'green' sustainable model.

Jon and I , we are fans of Arvo Pärt .

I too, now enjoy Arvo Pärt, thanks to the two of you.

 

My previous idea was Jon's project Arvo Pärt Picante ( http://www.htguide.com/forum/showthread.php4?t=39342 ), but I want a narrower front baffle.

Some interesting work & data on wave guides with that project.
