First look at Punktkilde – New hifi drivers
There’s a new name in HiFi drivers – Punktkilde. Although, you may not have heard of them, you may have heard of their sister company, Scan-Speak. Scan-speak, often referred to as some of the highest quality HiFi drivers one can buy, designed every one of these Punktkilde drivers that I recently received for review. Once…
Fewest Tools Needed for Building Speakers (Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love My Router)!
You may wonder what tools are needed to get started building your own custom loudspeakers. The list is surprisingly small if a person is simply trying to build a basic box with bracing. What tools do you need? A plunge router with bits, a circle jig, and clamps. Is that really it? Yes, surprisingly. But…
DIY SPEAKER -Toids DIY Audio AND Kirby Meets Audio
DIY Speaker Design Process While at MWAF, Kirby and I got to really meet each other and decided that we wanted to collaborate on a DIY Speaker project. Inspired by Kerry Armes beautiful design and ScottK from PE simple crossover, I decided to get to work on this. I wanted to keep this diy speaker…
Definitive Technology CLR Clone
Overview: There was a time in which I was not quite into home audio yet. That was before I heard Definitive Technology speakers. When I heard those, I understood more of what it meant to be a HIFI speaker. In fact, one of those speakers was their CLR line. That line was particularly interesting to…
If I need to change the tweeter can anyone help with pointing me in the right direction to the Faital Pro 6fe200 4 ohm ZMA and FRD files so I can redesign the crossover?
If you wanted to change the compressions driver, I would encourage you to build the Cinema 6 instead. If still uses the same mids, but changes the compression driver to the de250-8. If you want to design it from scratch with all new drivers, I would recommend picking up Dats and a calibrated microphone. and posting your graphs. That way we can help you design it from scratch. Those would be the best options. If you happen to be in the UK, then I would suggest checking to see what Sound Imports has.

KL-250?
What do you think of making a much smaller unit, say with a pair of PC68-4 and the PTMini-6, for a small viewing space? You could get up into the mid to high 90 dB range for about 15-20 watts / speaker, and the cost would be around $230-$300 for 5 passive speakers (x-over included, depending on how crazy you go and what it would actually measure in box). and whichever sub you would make, 5-1/4″ to say a 8″, might only tack on anywhere from $20 to $60 more. (for ~$28, the Peerless GBS-135F25AL02-04 models near a 0.5CuFt box with an F3 of around 36 Hz. Low profile and inexpensive.) And if you go shopping on Ali Express, you could do 5.1 decoding and amplification for inexpensive. Somewhere between $400-$500 for a plug and play system (depending on wood prices).
Only issue I see with the PC68 is that no matter what box type you use, they tend toward a large hump in the 150 Hz area. At least that’s what WinISD shows. I wouldn’t know for sure unless it was measured as such.
trying to find the build plans for KL-650 copies – they dont appear on your shop?
also to note, when i follow the link from youtube, its a dead (404 error) link.
pls advise, thx
Hi, Is this plan still available or buyable ?
Thank You, Etienne
These were a great project, and the sound is exactly what was needed. Clear, rich mids… Speaker building as a hobby didn’t stick, but building these, along with the subs, was definitely the way to go. Thanks!
