Concorde and Focal Utopia

[birbjo(SWE)]

Hi!
Sorry for not using deutsch, hope You can forgive me.

Wanted You all to get a chance to see how my latest project
turned out.

The text in this forum is in swedish, but I think the pictures
speak for themselfs.....or....?

WOW

Did you take the original concorde-crossover?

I`m shure, ist was a hell of work, but they look very professional, congratulations!

[birbjo(SWE)]

Thanks Walwal!

Since I'm no carpenter this "costed" much sweat and many late nights. But the sound is awesome.......It was a risk that really paid off! I hadn't heard ANY Visaton-speaker before starting this
project(stupid me!), but I'm really satisfied with the sound.

[Mr. Pit]

Good, great job, that`s nice!

Die Gehäuseoberfäche ist echt schön

[Daniel Düsentrieb]

it took a long time to built the speakers, but the design is not professional and very ugly. look at the srews, is this a nice finish?- no, it isn't.
sorry, just a 3 of 10, there are a lot of possibilities to hide screws.

Reply to my critics.....

Well Daniel....sorry to hear that You disapproved. I know the cabinets aren't prefect......but I'm no carpenter, so they are good enough for me. Hiding the screws would have been easy, thats correct, but I wanted to use this sollution. Thank good we all have different taste.....
Thanks anyway for reacting......

Hi Birbjo

don't worry about DD, his answers are always (not just in your case, every thread he is in, becomes a controversy) a little bit.....

Your speakers really look great (and i'm convinced, the sound fits to the optical impression , nobody should underestimate the work behind this huge projekt.

Thanks...

......for "defending" me aginst DD's "attack"....
(Having studied german for a year I got a hint of DD's normal contrubutions from the comment: "DD- Charmant wie immer! that
walwal gave..... )

But isn't it great that we all have different taste.....or else everybody would have the same loudspeakers at home....and the same cars....and.......that would be boring.

Thanks anyway. You all (well, most of You) seems to have a positive attitude towards the DIY-idea!

Best Regards

The first(?) Utopia

Ah! Sehr schöön! The Utopia-version by "J.Ollig" was a real beaut!
He must have gotten at least a "5" from "D.D", don't You think?
(I would have given it a 8, but thats only my humble opinion... )
