I have been looking for a pair of JR149 speakers for a while now but mostly everything that has turned up is either in poor condition, overpriced (IMHO) or both. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised as the JR149 must be getting on for 40 years old now, and the fact they use the same drivers as the famous BBC Monitor LS3/5A makes them desirable.
So - I am considering making a DIY version. I have the skills required, the only possible problem being the D shaped alumnium tube in which the drivers are mounted, but if I can't make that I know a man that can...
The plan is not to spend a fortune just in case things don't go according to plan. My current thnking is to use the Vifa D27TG-35 tweeter and the Monacor SPH-135 as the midrange/woofer. The crossover is well documented so making these won't be a problem.
Any thoughts anyone?
