Howdy guys
I figured I'd share my new (to me) setup with some Aerius I's I recently acquired. I'm a fabricator and business owner so I have access to a lot of metal working equipment including laser cutters. I made the speaker bases and stereo cabinet myself at our shop.
Everything you see here is constant work in progress at this point so forgive me if the room is rough around the edges. I have some GIK room treatment panels on order but I'm not sure what decade they will actually get here.
I use my M125 monoblocks I built from kits to run these speakers, they seem to do a great job. I still can't believe I built these and they actually work as they were my first ever DIY electronics project.
As you can see I have done some mods to these speakers already including extra cabinet bracing and Clarity Capacitors in the ESL crossover. At some point I'd like to convert the woofer section to an active crossover with full DSP and room correction. Maybe even build a new woofer section from scratch similar to the newer masterpiece series.
Currently both these speakers are getting a full teardown tonight due to crackling/popping, likely due to being so old and probably dirty. Overall I'm really happy with these, they sound unlike other speakers I've heard.
