WBF featured article for November: Ken Fritz - One Man's Dream
     
 

We got permission to show Ken Fritz's incredible system and room build in July 2021. We began by featuring a short intro, some photos and the video interview. Ken has taken thousands of photos during the long build process.

As a follow up, we have now set up the (huge) first instalment of photos showing the speaker build on our WBF thread for you to enjoy. The system, and the room builds will follow in the next few Newsletters.

Consecutive photographs from the production of the 9'6"
and 7'6" - 7.2 speaker project

"When I began this project, it was my intention to take photographs at virtually every step of the way. This would enable me to produce a chronological link to all of the photographs. Unfortunately, I have lost the photographs that included the pattern work and lamination of the fiberglass masters and production molds for the cast polymer baffles for the system.

Furthermore, I have lost the photographs taken during the casting and production of the polymer baffles. Consequently, the photos begin showing both the case goods for the boxes for the speakers and the metal work for the rack supporting the midrange and tweeter driver. After that, the sequence of photographs will give you a good idea of what it took to build this system. For what it's worth, the production tooling for the cast polymer baffles are at Virginia Marble Manufacturing in Kenbridge, Virginia."
