Tannoy gold 12" cabinets

Thanks for  the reply. It seems through research that these drivers should be put in quite a large cabinet. I was hoping to get in around 30" tall. Of what I have seen all are 40" plus. Maybe I have made a mistake buying these. 

The sony is a good ol ol in a great turntable for your vinyl hanks for the encouraging word Dan.  I will continue on for a little bit and see what I can come up.  Your not on Vancouver Island by chance are you

Thanks Dan. Dont know how the sony turntable bit got in the first part of the post. Weird. Anyways,  I have Audio Note behind them so I beleive they will sound very good when I get the cabinets sorted out. I am in victoria actually. 

I am still building. What I figured out is that it is very much about the cabinet volume and not what dimensions you use to get there. Unless you are skilled enough to build or want to spend thousands on really complicated cabinets.

The 12" golds work best apparently in cabs of 90 to 205 litres. WxHxD x .61 or convert cubic inches to litres on line. Mine ended up an interior size of approx 125 litres after calculating in driver and bracing. 38" T x 16 x 13.75. 1" Baltic Birch. This is apparently a favourable size.

I am now going through porting and tunning. I am lucky enough to have professional help with this stage of the build. Correctly tuned, this cabinet should get me down to about 33hz which is very good.

I did not mitre I used but joints and re veneered the tops and bottoms to cover the end grain. My finished product will resemble the DeVore Fidelity Orangutan 0/96

This is a fairly simple design to build. I have  not built Cabinets before but do have solid basic wood working skills.

I would be happy to answer any questions you have about my process or tricks I learned along the way. I have never actually heard Tannoys so am  really looking forward to it. I will post my impressions when I get there.

Cheers. Paul

They are beautiful. I am not knowledgeable enough to suggest improvements on those. 

I would sign up for the email list on the the Tannoy blog that hans Runs.

You will get exactly the information you need as i am sure it has been done many times before. Maybe just some internal bracing and yes get the center of the speakers to ear level for your listening position. Probably around a 22" quality speaker stand. 

It will be about a month to finish them as my cabinet shop is backed up at the moment.
