IC: Super Pensil Speakers w/Mark Audio 12p Drivers
12/02/15 at 20:21:23
 
I just bought a pair of Omega A8's with the hemp drivers and matching Skylan stands, and I am quite enamored with them.  So, I'm considering selling my Super Pensils.  I built these last winter, and they are terrific full-rangers.  In fact, a couple of the forum members have heard them in a couple different rooms and were quite impressed by what they could do.  I've run them off my 1.5W PSE amp and my Fisher 400 with great success.  They are made from solid red oak tops and baffles, and 3/4" oak ply for the balance of the cabinets.  They are properly braced and filled, and are completely built with adhesive construction (no screws).  They are built so that there are no visible ply edges, which I don't care for.  The drivers were purchased new by me, and are by now properly broken in (break in on this is about 300-500 hours).  I am on the fence about letting these go, but could use the $$ to help fund a new amp purchase.  I really don't know what to ask for them, but to put them into perspective, I probably have close to $500 into them in materials, not to mention that they were a labor of love to build!  If you are interested, PM me and we can talk.  Here's some pics ... let me know if you have any other questions.  By the way, here's a link to the MA drivers if you want to see the specs:

The Madisound page also has a link to the Super Pensil plans so you can see the size and construction.  They are not small speakers!

Not surprising. Very attractive speakers. $650 is quite a low price.
