Title: Purple Jagers
Post by: debk on March 28, 2021, 12:52:41 PM: Well I finished my Jager. It is much more difficult to finish plywood than the alder bases. In retrospect I probably should have veneered them with alder first then dyed them, but all in all I am happy with the outcome.

As to the important part, how do they sound? Granted I only have less than an hour on them and I have not played around with placement, I think they sound great! The bass is punchy and I have no need for a sub. The mids are smooth and everything integrates well. I already prefer them to my old full range speakers.

Overall I am very happy with the sound and recommend the Jagers to anyone looking for a great speaker.

May I ask what kind of beast has gnawed the corner off your rack?

Gandalf, one of my Collies did that when he was a puppy

Awww, good dog.

I have a cat that chews wood corners, as well as electronics cords, unfortunately. I try to put out sacrificial cords and cables for her, but she's too smart.

They Really look great! They definitely make a statement! Yes, you are correct, they are purple!
Is that your artwork on the wall behind your system?
