In Reply to: Anyone heard of built North Creeek speaker kits? posted by John K on May 01, 2000 at 06:19:37:
Yes, I built the ME2 version of the well-known Ariel using the North Creek kit. My experience with North Creek was entirely satisfactory. Follow their links to Lynn Olson's site for more information on the Ariel design, but be forewarned - the Ariel cabinets are very difficult to build. That's why I built the ME2.I've been more than satisfied with the ME2. It's a terrific design, and not much more difficult to build than any other vented cabinet.
Also note: I tweaked the design to correct an apparent error in the calculated cabinet volume. Other discussions on this modification are available in the archives - do a search on Ariel or ME2.
Glad to hear you had good results.In reviewing the info at the North Creek site I notice that North Creek does not provide cabinet plans for the ME2. Is there a web site that has the plans for the ME2?
Can't say I know much about the Lynn Olson's as speakers, other than having seen the name in a few places. What led you to the Lynn Olson's over other North Creek offerings?
Thanks.
A link to Lynn Olson's web site is below, where you will find complete cabinet plans and discussion for the Ariel and the ME2. As you will see, this design is well enough regarded to have a builder's club, and several of the builders have web pages showing their accomplishments. As you will also see, the cabinet design for the Ariel is very complicated - 6 months is apparently required to complete them. The ME2 version can be built much faster.
