I recently got hooked into HTs and with work NOT getting in the way (since have no work), I finally found time to build by myself my first voight pipe (6’ triangle). With no real carpentry experience and with only a regular saw, hammer, jig-saw, electric sander, and electric drill as main tools it was a miracle for me to have finished the pair (which I now consider as my highest trophy – at 6’) no matter how crude it ended. THANKS to my friend I was lucky that he shared his tips (what materials to use, where to buy, etc.) that saved me time and money.
Since RS-1354A are no where to be found/bought anymore then I settled for what ever available (here in Manila) RS full range driver that comes closest in specs to the 1354A. Combined with the voigt it sounded great to my ears.
Feeling ko ngayon napag iwanan yung Mission m73i speakers ko that I am considering to sell my Mission speaker set (m73i, m7ci, m7ds) to buy a tube amp [Any advice?]. The voigt was clearly dynamic, had better sound staging, imaging and higher efficiency. Lamang ng mga 5-8 db against the m73i. With the Voigt, pinpointing where the sound or performer is had become easier and a habit now. Its bass was natural and just right for me (something I felt the mission speakers lacked ).
Setting aside my first encounter with the voigt pipes, I am interetested to know the history of the much talked about “ike’s voigt”.
- Would be great to hear its history – how did it really start, what led to the modification, inspiration, snags, etc..
- May I know what other drivers compliment the design. (preferably low cost drivers and something that will hopefully complement the triangle voigt)
- Any chance that the design will be shareware like the triangles?
