WD 25T plans needed - please. - World-Designs-Forum

Bonky · #1 24th February 2018, 12:05 PM

After an extensive search for the plans for the WD 25T (or 35T) in all its various flavours I've drawn a blank (literally and metaphorically).

Yes, I've looked at the WD archives (http://www.world-designs.co.uk/forum....php/f-39.html), but unless I'm blind I can't see any plans.(There's a Hi-Fi world article on the 'improved' crossovers I know), but I need the cabinet plans.

If I wanted a standmount I know I could turn to: http://www.seas.no/index.php?option=...its&Itemid=365

Please can anyone help with the cabinet plans?

Many thanks

Check with Matthew as they are probably on the Archive CD that he sells.

OK; thanks.

Hi Richard, the Platinum CD has the 2006 articles and plans and the 2008 V2 articles. There's quite a lot of reading around the speakers which I'm sure I'd want to do if thinking of building. Plenty about the KEL84 and other WAD/WD amps too, http://www.world-designs.co.uk/cd%20rom.htm

Just to add to Richards post so that Bonky, (another Richard) is aware of some changes, Matthew, our Administrator, very nice chap, now owns all of WAD and WD past and present, so contact him for your needs. BOB

Thanks.

If I can't pick up a good 2nd-had KEL84 in the next week I shall probably be knocking on Matthew's door in Totnes to buy a new kit - so I shall probably be buying the CD as well.

Thanks again,

BW

Bonky/Richard.

PS Is it acceptable to take pics of the build and post them here to ask members to check wiring/component placing and orientation etc before the nail-biting first plug-in? Or is that stretching things a bit too much?

Hi Bonky,
I'm a newbie and have just discovered & joined WD. I'd love to build a pair of WD26t, with a cheaper tweeter. Thinking of SEAS 29TFF Prestige. Did you manage to get the plans and build them? If you have any information or help whatsoever on building or your impressions on there sound these please contact me.
All the best,
Ade

Good luck

Thanks. The only problem is that I can't afford the tweeters Peter used in his original or EX version (both are £250 each) . I'm looking for a xo design with a cheaper tweeter, maybe Seas 27TDFC. I'll have to learn how to use one of the xo calculators I've seen online. Thanks anyway. Maybe I'll buy the Cd anyway, it'll probably have some useful info.
