In Reply to: RE: Has anyone ever DIY'ed pair of 'ZRT' (ZaphAudio Revelator Tower)?? posted by Mr. Dick Hertz on April 27, 2016 at 09:03:03
The reason I stopped DIYing is because we now have people like John to do the heavy work. He has designed several VERY high quality speakers system. As already posted DIYing and experimenting a crossover does get VERY expensive. And most times it does not work out like you would whan or expect it too.
The difference between the 2 and 2.5 tower is not that great. A tad more bass. You will still need a sub with both. So if money or space is an issue just go with the two way version. Again there is not that much difference.
I believe there are also ported and closed versions of one of them?
Between the SR-71 and ZRT - WOW they just don't get much better!
I pledge to Mr. Hertz I will not mention my SR-71's for one month. BTW did I mention my SR-71's today ;-)

airtime, because you like the SR71 so much, I also like it a lot without listening to it. I would like to spend 300 plus for the drivers and make my own cabinets. I think I will have a better speaker than Elac B6. I will be auditioning the B6 mid May at a buddy's place. I will compare it with his Monitor Audio BX2.

... So I appreciate your comments.I have a room that is only small-medium so the the 2-way might be quite adequate. Zaph says as much in the webpage. I do have and expect to continue to use a subwoofer.
There are sealed and ported versions for both the 2- and 2.5-way versions, and that's another decision I'll need to make.
I love the music of Dmitri Shostakovich ...

Nice option. One way to do this would be to split a full-sized cabinet in half lengthwise and diagonally (similar to the Ref3A Veena) for a sloped baffle design, but I'd suggest checking with Zaph beforehand for advice for or against.

We should all be as enthusiastic about our equipment as you are!
