I see some mastic around the tweeter housing, but i'm guessing that some sort of gasket might also be used (blue acrylic)

One main concern with sealed speakers is air leak where the driver is mounted. Some claim a difference when one tightens the screw on a pair of Factory speakers (B&W, Kef, Dynaudio), giving it a change on frequency response. The assumption is that speakers that come out of the factory need a...

I guess for the purpose of Magico speakers, bit of mastic isn't going to be an issue. It was interesting. For me I design transmission line enclosures, and so a sealed speaker wouldn't be needed, however, even with the folds/waveguides in the t-line enclosure, I'd want them to be pretty close...

Just a theory at the moment. I design speakers for a hobby. Not that I build sealed speakers, but I wondered how Magico built theirs. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=insid ... 00&bih=766 I know a few companies do make speakers in metal, but i'm thinking the weight (transport) would be...

Is milling/CNC so accurate that one could create an air-tight box (using six pieces of said metal) without any form of adhesive mastic?

I never got on with B&Q MDF. It seemed to bend far too easily.

Photo link doesn't work :(

^^ (i'm looking for a 'thumbs up' emoji) I need to get my hands on more than scraps from pallets. However I do appreciate the input. Maybe I could try for some samples, but i'm looking for proper sheets of HDF.

i'm making speakers: http://www.kralkaudio.com/DTLPS-1.html Also Pete Thomas from PMC uses HDF 1:20 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz45IYZQMf0 Is MRMDF actually HDF or is HDF something totally different?

Thanks for the link. So HDF goes under a different name?

I've tried so hard to find sheets of HDF, and google is showing me nothing. I'm beginning to believe that it doesn't actually exist. Can anyone give me any pointers please?

Thanks for that. £90 for the table, £120 for a good reliable the router, that sounds fine. Or do a bit of a homemade table build using a router insert plate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ktr7Ibu1fu4

Thanks Mike I was watching this yesterday where it mentions routing with a few passes 5:05 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU2ca0709rY Stupid me, i would have gone for it in one pass :( Also, do I need a particular motor/router to run a router table? I was thinking of getting this Triton...

I was thinking something along the lines of this to get me going. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAOCYNqtZCo Just need to do roundovers like this ... but with the huge bit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rL2w4ajBjJM

No worries, and thanks for you comments.

I'm not saying that quality has gone down, or the Czech workforce or engineering is sub-standard, but IME, and in face of most outsourced components being manufactured in the Far East, it's hard to say that there aren't any benefits to looking for competitive prices, and i'm as patriotic as the...

That Titan Router didn't last very long. Again I know it was second hand from cash converters, but I did have more than one scary moment with it. In the end I had to get rid. The thing is, most of the time i'm either going to be ripping or gluing/clamping. The router is going to be used for...

Unlike Festool, Dremel seem to have varying success. But so far I've been going buy the likes of Amazon reviews, never occurred to me to join a forum and ask.

I need a press drill of course, but if i could getaway with cutting rectangles on a table saw ....
