Re: My new workroom
I have rebuilt a pair of Royd Envoys that had a fried bass driver. Some Doc Mods and Cube type bass drivers, I have had to do lots of doping adjustment to match that tweeter, which is a sharp bitch I even had to dope the tweeter in the end - that is a first, but it really worked they are singing on Ella and Louis at the moment. I have them working omni at the moment as I wait for the dope to dry. Not full Doc Mods, I have left them as Royd as possible. Though they are not ported anymore as it would have been far too much faffing to adjust the port to match the new drivers.
As you can tell I have my dem system up and running and I had to get some speakers going for it.

Re: My new workroom
If those are the same Envoys I bought from you. I just didn't get on with them at the time!

Re: My new workroom
Tracy Chapman also high in the workroom charts it seems. Novel way to position speakers - don't let the AOS goons see it or they'll turn it into the next innovative fashion.

Should have hidden the bloody case, I hate the album but her voice is useful as a lower register female voice when I am tuning frequency response.Fretless wrote:Tracy Chapman also high in the workroom charts it seems.

You should try speakers like that, you would be in for surprise. Though cables make it difficult.

Exactly how I have orientated my AP2's Doc! After experimentation, they simply presented music more to my liking laid on their side.
Are the tweeters inside or outside with yours Doc? I have my tweeters on the inside - not tried them the other way around yet as they seem so good to me as they are now.

Re: My new workroom
That's a WEIRD effect - just tried it with my Doc-mod Mission 760's and it reminds me a little bit of the one time I heard Cubes.Alfi wrote:
