This is another project that i have transfered from "the other site", this one built in 2014:
For my summer house i wanted a small and elegant loudspeaker to use with the computer or smartphone. I wanted a modern, simple and sharp look with a warm feel to it. Looked around a lot for inspiration and kept being drawn to the simplicity and claryty og Dieter Rams and his work for Braun i Germany.
I do not have a TV so use my laptop to see movies etc. The distance between the loudspeakers is so that a 15" laptop fits in between and gives a much richer experience than the tiny speakers in the laptop.
Used recycled, ebonized oak for the frame and beech for the buttons and feet. Built in amplifier. Was a little afraid that solid wood would give unwanted wibrations but it has a surprizingly open and detalied sound.
