Here is a bunch of images most which is self explanatory. I deaden the Fostex magnet (reflection from the back wall) with a layer of bitumanised Al foil. The scraps end up on top to. Take a look at the images while I relate first impressions. Only the top chamber has stuffing in it.
The KEF iQ30s held this position for a few months now at $1300 a pair. The Fostex boxes (what I have labeled rero-F206) absolutely kill the KEFs for realism and just sheer naturalness. I had to keep looking at the TV and gear to remind myself what I was listening to. The speakers are only hours old and I know the sound will just get better and better. I love the finish I got it was just how I envisaged it and the sound just puts a big smile right across my ugly head. I finally have my completed 2 Channel Theater system - complete. Paris is the 3.5W integrated amp below.
The reto-F206 has two strands of loosely twisted wire wrap wire for connecting wire on both the positive and negative within the boxes. All points are silver soldered. I also made up a pair of single lose strand wire wrap wire speaker leads with 0.4mm pure silver ends for binding. The 10" grills are held on with four "button" rare earth magnets.
