Epicure 3.0 clones

[WOPL Sniffer]

Built a set of Epicure 3.0 clones with the plans off of www.humanspeakers.com

They sound great, due to lack of original parts, Huw supplied the suitable replacements. I hand built the crossovers with the original schematic and a board from online source modified to work with the components I located.

Those crossover coils are beautifully wound!

I wish I could take credit for the winding..... I got them from Parts express...

Nice build!!!

Those are beauti's!!!

How's the sound compared to some of your other speakers?

I'm refurbing a set of epi202's, would love to hear the 3's or the behemoth m1000 towers driven with some WOPL goodness.

I have two sets of EPI three way crossovers if anyone is in need and six sets of tweeters and woofers, I need to reform them first.

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

do you know what they were out of?

They are good for your build. I think they cam from a500's
the tweetee are all the same. These are the older style
the woofers are 8" used in Genesis and older EPI

Yeah, I built these crossovers but it seems the speakers need a bit more power to drive but they do sound good. I may strip them down and keep the pieces for another project down the road.

Nice work !!! Sutton and I have built several pairs of speakers over the years.... Store bought speakers are SO overpriced !!!!!!!!
