Hey guys!
It's good to some some audio enthusiasts on the site!

I'm running a pair of floor standing, mtm, transmission line speakers designed by Curt C. called the Tritrix.

They incorporate Dayton Classic series drivers.

It's all home brewed from the enclosures to the crossovers.
Uses 1" MDF throughout.

They're powered by an old 90's Sony ES series (flaghip model) surround receiver I snagged for free on Craigslist.

Low end is picked up by a 12" JBL studio subwoofer

Sounds great in my little room.





Thanks!
-Josh

Total cost with speaker spikes, grill cloth, primer, crossover components, EVERYTHING
Under $250

Drivers, terminals, and crossover parts are $160

Spikes, cap magnets, hardware, acoustically transparent grille cloth, primer, wood glue, sand paper, etc makes up the rest.

The 1" MDF was free. I work in an office furniture factory... boxes were all CNC cut

They still need to be finished asthetically.
I'm going to wrap them 360 degrees in grill material and make piano black caps and bases. Def Tech style.

I love the nice big soundstage from the wide open backs. Reminds me of the Def Tech BP10's I used to have.
The bass is tight and punchy and because of how hefty the boxes are; one FEELS quite a lot of the punch through the floor.
Female vocals are a litttle bit bright directly on-axis, so I toe them out about 10 degree each and it's all well great.

With a few other select members, we briefly discussed any limitations or parameters needed to be set on acceptance into the club. We did this because certain brands, names, sorts are simply not up to standards with what is consistently deemed as quality across the entire hobby of audio. The issue is, of course, that a brand such as Logitech, which is truly not a quality product as far as speakers go, has reached a niche market in the pc-enthusiast world and maintains popularity in it. I personally feel that someone truly engaged and interested in speakers will have moved beyond Logitech, etc., at a certain point or is considering doing so eventually. As such, we have agreed to exclude Logitech and any other pc-based speaker brandings from acceptance into the club. As of now, any and all speaker brands that reach beyond pc-intention, including stereo and HTIB, are deemed acceptable and fit within the parameters of the club. For now, specific sets such as Klipsch ProMedia's and Swan M10's, both of which are pc-based for all intents and purposes, are not deemed to fit within these parameters.

Yes, this may stir up some controversy, but for now these are the parameters. Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.
Question, before I post mine / want to join, I consider my Z-5500's a decent system, as they accept coax digital, optical digital, analog, and I can interface with an amp if needed or not, plus I can switch inputs like most amps, from my shaw pvr, xbox360, alternate source and analog pc arrangement. Most speaker/amp systems do equally the same, and i'd like to be added in, i'll get pic's (will get small but location based pic's so I can better effect a good pic shot for the thread).

Can I be allowed to enter in, presuming with the above concepts true to the fact that it equals that of a standard speaker system, but compact?
