Do you owe it to yourself to check out the latest electrostatic speaker designs? Ahh; YES. No speaker is perfect but I wish everyone could hear the latest ESL designs. I'm sure many would find their sound addictive. I will discuss both commercial and DIY designs, but first I must confess my...

The PA2 version costs about half as much as the V360, and has identical features except the V360 has some extras you would only really need for PA applications, like two additional input processing chains and added digital inputs. I opted for the V360 because I needed it's digital inputs to...

I recently purchased a DBX Driverack Venu 360 crosssover/EQ to replace a Behringer DEQ2496 EQ & DCX2496 crossover I had been using to tri-amp my homebuilt hybrid electrostats & Ripole subs. This will not be an in-depth, dispassionate, or measurement based review. I still have a lot to learn...

I made up some panels to cover the wall and window behind my listening position on the sofa. The first photo shows the frames mounted on the wall and the second photo is the finished panels on the same wall... the panels are filled with 6lb density rock wool. The third photo shows one of my...

I appreciate your compliments on my speakers—it was quite a journey getting here. Unsegmented wire panels sound exactly like a perf metal panels, but wire does give some options that perf metal doesn’t. The downsides to wire are the requirement to stretch it to straight condition, which...

May I suggest a name for your little friends? [the] INCONTINATORS

Beautiful work and elegant design. I'm drooling over those Aplimo's--- thanks for pics and info :-) I use tandem pairs of inexpensive 230V/2x6V power toroids, which sound really good for cheap transformers.

A few questions: I don't see any woofers--- are those full range panels? What transformers are you using?

I'm drooling over your work shop... (oh yeah... the subs are awesome too).

Your design is so unique and elegant… please tell us you have build photos and details to share!

Hi all, This project (all four speaker pairs) is finally completed, so this will be my last post on this thread unless it's in response to others. I resolved the issue with the grill covers bowing and they turned out gorgeous. I finally now have my dream speakers for life, and I'm sure...

With magnetic grill on:

Update 3/25/20: All four pairs of speakers are fully completed except for the magnetically attached grills, which I'm building now. I spent the weekend sound testing every pair, and they all play to ridiculous volume with no apparent issues. For a $77 woofer; I'm pretty impressed with the...

In the videos, I don't go into the electrical segmentation scheme. You might notice in the stator build video that each panel has (15) wire loops extending a few inches beyond the end of the panel. These wires connect to a segmentation resistor network. The panel has 90 wires arranged in 15...
