This YouTuber - Toids DIY Audio - has built a lot of impressive-looking speaker lookalikes, thought i would share this one that I just viewed, a JTR 212 inspired build (the JTR 212RT, to be precise):
Of course we all know that the secret to a great-sounding speaker, as with great BBQ, is in the sauce (having seen and tasted the results of Sonnie's grillin', there is a LOT more to it than that), and that JTR's Jeff puts a LOT more than just special sauce -- experience-based know-how, best available drivers and materials, driver and crossover tweaks, passion for perfection, and TLC -- into every design and every unit he builds...
Plus the fact that the "inspired" build is a 2-way and the JTR model is a 3-way design...
And, having heard most of the JTR models over the years and having reviewed a few in detail, I'm pretty confident that Jeff's work would bring home the gold in any kind of comparison...
STILL, it is a fun video and a quick watch and might inspire a few of you who are so inclined.
ENJOY!!
