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.

Nice looking speakers Geno! I was just chatting with a friend last night that was raving about the f12s.

Whats the wood? Is that Acacia counter material? Looks a lot like what I made mine out of.

Thanks man!

The wood is 1” thick teak. I got two 24 x 24 pieces for $40 each.

I just redid the top baffles, with the F-12’s:

Geno, thanks for the post.  Your setup looks great, and the sound was excellent.

Very cool, Geno. What is the material? Are you still using the rear firing tweeters?

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.

Ah, it was hard to see in the video on my phone screen - you just painted them green. They look good.

I’ll have to pull out my tweeters and give them another try. It has been a while.
