The detail that jumped out at me: this was a first attempt at veneering, and the walnut was ordered in exactly the quantity needed, with nothing left over for mistakes. Going straight to floorstanding cabinets with a wood finish on a first build takes nerve, and the maker made it work.
The construction looks solid from the ground up. MDF cabinets with internal bracing that leaves cutouts for airflow, driver recesses cut with a router on a circle jig, and bar and spring clamps holding the glued panels while they dried. The drivers are used Scan-Speak units from the Classic and Revelator lines, picked up for $400 after sitting unused for two years. Everything was measured mounted in the cabinet, using REW with a UMIK microphone and a DATS V3 for impedance, and only then did the crossover get designed in VituixCAD.
Plenty of small touches stand out. The bass port is 3D printed and tuned to 26 Hz, with a curve inside the cabinet so it fits. The crossover boards, feet, grilles and protective covers all came off the printer too. The wiring was soldered on the back of the boards for a tidy look, and that made the wiring harder to check. An early soldering error sounded bad and was only tracked down after five more careful inspections.
One gap remains: off-axis measurements were skipped, and the maker calls that a weakness in the process. About 1-1.5 dB was deliberately left in around 3-5 kHz, in the hope of extra attack on acoustic guitar, and the open question is whether a linear on-axis design still leaves extra energy in an untreated room. With crossovers at just over $200, and the maker rating these above speakers that cost up to $4,000, the result clearly landed. A Satori two-way is already waiting as the next project.
