Open baffle full-range driver options (Read 3187 times)

Geno Seasoned Member Without music, life would be a mistake. Posts: 2303	Open baffle full-range driver options 09/12/24 at 14:04:02 I just added my third full-range option to the lineup - the Lii F-12. Now, I have 3 very different sounding drivers (Betsy Alnico 8”, Lii PT-10, and Lii F-12). Enjoyable times.

Thanks man. They are made from teak cutting board. I put walnut veneer on the bottoms and tops with the PT-10’s shown above. Also shown above are the original tops with the F-12’s. I recently painted them sage green.

Yes, still using the rear-firing tweeter. It is a very important part of my overall sound. Would not want to be without them.
