Initial impressions are positive.



I don’t like the look of them quite so much on the floor. A thin black plinth with small wheels might look cool.

A bit DIY, but looks good I think!

No offence, but that has to be the least attractive setup posted so far !

Stay classy pal. Jeez, another whopper on a hi-fi forum.

'No offence but...' is always a bad foundation for a post.

No offence, but I disagree

Interesting! where did you get the FP10s from and what do you think of them?

I got them from Emporium actually, trading in my hORNS Aria II's for them. I really, really like them, I was worried about them overpowering my small listening space but they do no such thing & are a delight really.

I've been crying myself to sleep ever since you made that post...

I can't help but see those two speakers as posh head waiters...."How would sir like his sounds served this afternoon?", "Extremely loud?", "As you wish sir"

We need more info! What is going on here? So unusual. Love it!
What are the speakers, white boxes, etc?

Are the white boxes crossovers?

They started life as a 2-way, but with a crossover around 1000hz, the tweeters were being asked to do far too much, so I decided to turn them into a 3-way.

I liked the wood finish on them, but couldn't think of a way of keeping it with all the extra work I had to do to convert them, so unfortunately I had to paint them. Picture here -

The woofer is an Eminence Delta 10a. I wanted good efficiency with tight bass from a ported box, so I chose a woofer with a light cone and a huge magnet. The soft dome mid is a Ciare HM500, and the tweeter is a Vifa NE25VTS-04.

EDIT: The wood finish was an offcut of our kitchen lino that I just wrapped around the cabinet.

The new finish is great. They really do seem to look like a pair of ‘droids with personality. I mean that in the most positive way possible. I have a pair of lovely wood veneered boxes, but they do not have the personality you have endowed these with. Most fun thing I’ve seen for ages.
