Can't quite decide if this should be in DIY or classic section - but since I'm guessing most of the Tannoy experts are populating the classic room, I'm trying my luck here first.
So, here's the deal - I still have my Tannoy K3828 drivers stashed away doing nothing and would like to put them into use...
Can't quite decide what kind of cabinets to put them into though. The problem is I am a bit restricted size wise (SWMBO's orders...) - so am looking at compact(ish) options. The largest I could get away with are probably Berkeley sized, or perhaps taller Berkeley's if there would be such a thing (sized cca. 50cm W / 100cm H / 35 D). Panel thickness (thicker than original I'm thinking?), braces etc. taken into account that should add up to ~100-110 litre net cabinet I think.
So the question really is - is it worth doing something like that?
I've listened a couple of times to the smaller Devons and liked the sound a great deal - didn't feel like much was missing scale-wise (though I am used to listening to monitors for most of the time...).
One other thing - I was thinking on using the "Phil Short's improved" crossover for 38xx drivers. Anyone has any experience with those?
Any other tips on possible enclosures, ports dimensions, construction, etc. would be much appreciated!
