Coral 8A speakers in big bookshelf design
I made them a couple of years back during a short holiday to venture in to the world of full range sound. My priority was to build a simple and not too bulky box in the shortest possible time hence i opted for this big bookshelf bass reflex design. The Corals have wooden phase plugs installed months ago without a proper enclosure until now. Building the box was relatively fast and easy but the finishing works was a bit of a nightmare due to my decision to use natural oak veneers for the finishing. It was painstaking to match the grains and join the seems carefully piece by piece, sanding and apply clear coatings. The end results was quite satisfying when they finally made to my living rooms where they start to sing loud and clear, The only shortcoming however, if i must say, it was the bass department that didn't really justify given the size of the driver (8"), i think it could have been much better if they were housed in proper horn loaded cabinets.
