my vintage jbl L100T cabinet build

[captrajesh]

here we are not getting baltic birch plywood.
if we ask them, they will treat us like aliens

Birch ply is available in India as well. I'm making 5.1 setup using GR Research kits and having heard lot of good words about the birch ply, wanted to buy some to make bookshelfs just for comparison. My requirement is about 10 sqft but due to funny limitations of movement of goods especially to this part of the Country, I need to buy a 8' x 4' sheet with lots of uncertainties added so abandoned the idea. Where are you located?

Something like this - http://www.infinity-classics.de/models/Kappa-series-1987/kappa-9-9A/kappa9a_7_1.jpg

Aren't they just L-pads or variable resistors?

Yea, but I would transplant the whole thing. On a kappa 9 its actually huge, I've got some kappa 7 ones, but I couldn't find kappa 7 pics. I've changed values and jumpered across other stuff and what not, so it is modified for the drivers I am using.

Cool.

Amazing DIY skills in cabinet making. Absolutely superb effort. How does the speaker sound?

Cheers.

The speakers sound very nice.tight bass and crystal clear vocals.slight edge in high frequency.
absolutely happy with the build.

The L100T's were a bit high freq biased.
Hard dome tweeters are usually that way. B&W matrix/nautilus/diamond and a lot more of em are characteristically treble heavy. And that's just how we like em LOL.
Cool.
