Folks, I’m glad to introduce you all to our latest vendor, Coherent Audio, makers of some lovely horn speakers. I’ll leave it to them to introduce the fine products they produce.

I gotta add that I’m pretty excited about this one myself. It’s been some years since I heard their product. But I do remember them sounding great and having incredible, yet artistic, build quality. Plus, I think we will gain an interesting and involved member too!
HI everyone, to start I should mentioned that I started out as a DYIer. All my designs are from years of trial and error building cabinets
which most of didn't work out.
I would like to show what I am making and give insight into my woodworking. Below is typical interior of all my builds. This concept gives a very solid cabinet without massive weight ( I have to pick these up so need to save my back). The main advantage is control of the back energy in the cabinet without having to use stuffing. In my opinion stuffing a box just makes it an acoustical capacitor, smearing transits and bloating the bottom end. Below are a few of the interiors, one being the Carbon series.

Welcome. Almost pulled the trigger on a pair of your speakers years ago. They look beautiful. Would love to demo a pair. I’m in Denver. Any suggestions?

Frank from Coherent is a great guy!! He kindly hosted me at his home several times to listen to his very good speakers. Glad to see you on here
Hi I don't have any dealers in your area. Most of my speakers sold in the US are to customers that never heard them.
The one dealer is in Portland Or trueaudiophile.com

Just received drivers for my latest project. I am looking to make some slim line speakers with a 6 inch coaxial and 6 inch woofer.
Looks like these might do the job. As with all my designs they have to be higher sensitivity so these should work out to about 94 db.
Will try to post more often but busy building customers speakers. Being pro drivers they are good for 300 watts but will work with
as little as 3 W. Love to build SET amp ready speakers.

Hi all you DYI guys building your own speakers. After almost 35 years of building cabinets I came across sandpaper
that is a game changer. A few weeks ago I went to a local auto paint supply store. I was looking to see what they had as far as sand paper.
The guy suggested the 3M line below so I bought 180 to 88 grit.
This week I finally used 180 and 600 grit. They sand faster and last longer than any type I have used in the past. Note in the photo that I install solid inlays on all the edges. These are trimmed down to about 10 thousand of an inch above the veneer with my trim router. I then sand them flat down to the veneer. This sand paper limits the time the sander rests on the veneer so there is less chance of breaking through the veneer. I highly recommend this type.
( the tear out in the inlay was caused by me running the router bit using conventional milling on Ziricote inlay. Now I climb mill these solids and no more tear outs. That was repaired and hard to find on cabinet)
