Pioneer PAX-A20 fullrange driver - 2.8 cu. ft Bass Reflex Cabinet

The speaker cabinets are built using plans from commonsenseaudio.com I have been busy with the 2.8 cu ft cabinet that I bought from them, now about 95% done. French Polished the outside and need to wait a few more weeks for the shellac to set-up before I can give it a final rub down and buff. The sound is absolutely fantastic, with Pink Floyd being top of the pops when it comes to Big response...

The driver is a sing;e vintage Pioneer PAX-A20 full-range driver and it performs remarkably well still. Well that is to my ears and others seem to agree.

The cabinets are made from 18mm MDF and skinned with 4mm cherry-wood ply, corner quadrants from Red Beech and Horns from White Pine - Kahikatea for ease of machining. The cabinets weigh about 25Kg each and the wadding is just normal household wall insulation, but I did put a layer of speaker-cloth over it and stapled in place to look like a bit of duvet.
