Here is my reply to another response which didn't make it to my Inbox. I try to keep up with everyone's inquiries. The original response is at the bottom:
Hi Mark, Thanks for your feedback. I've been wondering the same thing about the grille. A square or rectangular grille would mimic the look of the Elecraft SP3, which is a plus. On the other hand, in order to have a volume knob on the face, a square or rectangular grille would likely force the enclosure to be wider to accommodate both the grille and knob. The round grille allows a knob to be placed in the corner with ease. Also, a round grille weighs less. I used a round grille for the first prototype because I was able to source one that fit the speaker driver I'm using. So, I could at least have a complete speaker. Fortunately, it looks better than I had anticipated. Of course, your question is, which would look better? For many, it comes down to personal preference. I'm open to what you and others prefer. Thanks and 73, Robert (AG6ZZ) ------------------------- Robert, I love the idea, I'm wondering about whether a square or rectangular speaker grill would look better. 73, Mark KM6HFR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
