About

My name is Hanri de la Fontyn and I like to design and make almost anything to do with audio equipment and more - from loudspeakers in various configurations, the electronic components that drive them, to furniture and other random products that might sometimes be non-audio related. My aim is to just enjoy designing and making the things I love, and to inspire others to do the same.

Video Description

This project is done and the results are very pleasing indeed! I love the industrial looks of these speakers, with the exposed compression driver and horn. The two small 4inch Dayton Audio woofers perform extremely well for such small drivers, with plenty of low-end punch. The B&C compression driver and horn provides smooth and non-fatiguing mid-range and high frequencies. The tuning of these speakers are relatively flat with a slight droop in the mid-range. These are dynamic and punchy, but never loses control of the music.
