Most of the work I have done has been with wood, I can’t imagine the time it would take to work with rock.

Reminds of the concrete speaker boxes. http://propirate.net/betonboxen/

How’s the granite take the internal vibration? I thought the reason you used wood was for just that reason? Not that these aren’t cool in a big way though.

Wood is used because it’s cheap, easy to work with and lighter. The reason to use granite (or concrete in my previous post) is that it’s dense. Most speaker enclosures are made with MDF because of the density of the material. The density equate to the amount of bulge or bow that would happen with with lower frequencies. If a box bows or bulges, then the lower frequencies will not reproduce as well and will end up sounding “muddy”. Also speaker boxes are also usually filled with Fiber Glass or poly stuffing to help with that issue.

For hard rock music … cute!
@ellisgl thanks for the link.

These look beutiful! Bet they’re a pain to move around, though.

@ellisgl know of any English speaking people who have made these? Interesting they mini rebar inside… concrete can be pretty brittle. Another reason I think MDF is used is because it has a homogeneous composition, so it has more consistent properties since it isn’t as affected by temperature and humidity.

A lot of work has gone into it, and the end result is awesome. Though some weels would have helped. Still, no chance of them being stolen.

@Gio: No problem. I would love to make a set of concrete speakers. Of course living in an apartment on the second floor would totally limit me on moving them.
@Fiska: Use google translate or babelfish. As for someone having done the same thing that speaks/writes english, I have not seen any. Actually, MDF is horrible with humidity from my past experiences. It acts like a big sponge if in a humid climate more so than like plywood, but plywood tends to bow/bulge easily.
On a side note, I would love make some electro-static speakers.

My dad purchased a pair of old RadioShack electro static speakers and they sound awesome (well nothing compared to a pair of Martin Logans..).

Thanks for the great links ellisgl. I am not sure why electrostatic speakers never took off? I guess it might have been the size. Or were they not as good as planer speakers (which never really took off either anyway).

Very interesting post you wrote. Glad I have stumbled upon it. Cheers!

Nice Konig granite blade. The best in the stone fabrication industry!! Ive seen curved speakers made from Ceaserstone, which is a man made material composed of 93% quartz and 7% resin. They sound fantastic.

Just in the event anyone is interested, I am a stonemason who just happens to have made a pair of floor standing four way speakers. They have 22 carat gold pressurized domed tweeters. Two five inch mid range carbon fibre drivers, one eight inch base driver.
They sound awesome
Any one interested in purchasing a pair should send me specifications via e-mail
