Homemade Voigt Pipes: Update 1

"Look at the past - empire succeeding empire - and from that, extrapolate the future:  The same thing.  No escape from the rhythm of events.  Which is why observing life for forty years is as good as a thousand.  Would you really see anything new?" - Marcus Aurelius

The original post explaining the reasons why I'm building Voigt Pipe speaker cabinets is here.

New Project: Homemade Voigt Pipes

I've had this project in mind for at least a year, and now it's finally begun!  I'm pretty excited to see how this one turns out.

The project is to build a set of Voigt Pipe speakers, and to see for myself if they are as awesome as they are supposed to be - as in audiophile level amazing.  Fortunately the project isn't terribly expensive - it's mostly time and labor.  Unfortunately, I don't have much time to perform the labor :)

NOTE:  Links to updates 

 UPDATE 1: Panels are cut - Screw ups and hole cutters

UPDATE 2: More screw ups, but the cabinets are assembled.

So what is a Voigt pipe?  It's a unique speaker cabinet design that is intended to reduce/eliminate reflected sound waves from inside the cabinet.  To better understand what's going on inside a speaker cabinet, let's discuss speaker cabinet design a little bit.
