Dr250 in progress

#2
Very impressive! I was starting to get quite keen on building a DR250 until I saw some construction shots - so complicated compared to a reflex cab and way beyond my woodworking ability. But I'm sure the effort will pay off when you hear it!

Anyone any idea what it would cost to have one built for you?

That looks very impressive, but I have no idea what I'm looking at. Now, I've seen reflex, line transmission, etc, and I think I see a wooden folded horn in that pic, but what makes the Dr250 design what it is?

Sorry for the newb question, but I'm not sure if I have GAS, or not. I need more iformation. :D

But, it looks good so far.


EDIT: Okay, so Google is a wonderful thing.

Don't worry Bill, the driver plate is just put in place. It's not glued yet. I'll wait for the Beta 10 before I drill the holes for mounting screws.
I wetted and prebend the inner sides of the horn (1/4" birch plywood) today so they have to dry anyway before mounting them. Wetting the plywood really helps when bending!

OK, you had me worried there. Wetting and pre-bending isn't required when using a 3 ply spruce or pine plywood, though I'd guess in your neck of the woods finding less than 5 ply 1/4inch isn't so easy.
