Turkish coffee in Turkey, Greek coffee in Greece, Basmotha in Arabia. Funnily enuff, in Cyprus, where they consider themselves greeker than the Greeks, they call it Turkish coffee. I was taught the art by a Cypriot.

Excellent review Kris.

Dave is a stand-up guy for sure (he also makes a very good cup of “Turkish” coffee, which in his case is actually Lebanese coffee). He is personally very generous with time and insights (as is Ruth) and help. His contribution to speaker modifications and complete speaker designs are quite significant, as well as Chris (cabinet construction and golden-eared speaker guy), and Daniel (young stud electronics design and build guy). There is a good group on that island of their’s.

I can tell you that in every instance where I have had the opportunity to compare the stock drivers to his modded ones, there has been a significant improvements. The “eN” drivers are modded by Dave, but based on the work and efforts (and patents) of Bud Pervine (of Onetics Corp.). Bud is a hell of a nice guy and very knowledgeable. His willingness to share ideas with the diy community is what (I think) makes the Internet audio forums (and specifically at http://www.diyaudio.com , where both he and Dave contribute huge amounts of time and effort responding to virtually any questions asked of them.)

Of course these are not the only guys out there providing huge resources to the diy types, but certainly in the top 5 or so of what has been out there regarding speaker design, and design in general.

The drivers are P10 modded and very nice indeed. Its hard for me to say they are better because I have never installed stock drivers in the Dunideers. I do trust they are based on my readings and the fact that Dave at P10 is a standup guy offering some really cool designs. He really gives a lot to the DIY community.

nice to the point write up. One thing that has failed to be mentioned is the use of the P10 Mark Audio Alpair 6eN drivers as modded by Planet10 HiFi ( http://www.planet10-hifi.com ). I have experience with 3 different drivers modded by P10 and can say without hesitation or any reservations that the modded drivers are superior to the stock drivers in terms of resloution, soundstaging and the flat earther’s PRAT (not PRaT!) Pace, Rythm, Attack, and Timing.

Nice details regarding your personal experiences building the speakers, your practical considerations and listening comments.
