Title: Woodsmith Magazine DNA Build Post by Waukman1 on 12/03/22 at 17:27:42 Anyone catch the DNA build in the Dec/Jan issue of Woodsmith? It may just be the photo for the mag but they show them right up against the back wall of the room. Seems the DNA's need a little space back there, no? As usual Woodcraft did a nice job on the graphics & instructions with credit to Decware but a couple things stand out to me. There was no mention of internal damping material either in the instructions or BOM. Are the folks that build DNA's going to be disappointed in the sound because of this? They also included plans for 17.5" tall stands. My experience with my DNA's is that they present a pretty lifelike image in spite of their 28" height so stands just eliminate the nice compact size. The stands result in a 48" tall speaker. If you're going to go with stands it seems the DNA2 at 41" is a better choice. I haven't heard the DNA2's but they appear to be superior performers. It would have been nice if the article featured the DNA2. They also cap the speakers top and bottom with painted MDF. For the small expense hardwood caps would look much nicer. Finally the drivers specified are the Alpair 10P which I thought Steve had upgraded to Diatone 610's but I don't see them listed on the Decware website so maybe the Alpairs remain the current configuration. Comments welcomed, Jim |
