PAP Trio 15 and DIY - Discussion

Whoever has built this clone can you guys please confirm what is the gap between the baffles? Also the behind wings any specific dimensions @Btdk34 ?

Thanks

 

One speaker is completed

As of now its standing straight and intention is to use spike feet to tilt like 5-6 degrees so lets see if I can get it done.

thanks

 

Completed the first speaker and gave it a listen yesterday night

 

Both are done and playing now. My living room has limited space for these monsters when compared to my klipsch speakers and I need to move them to my loft. Using Dayton crossover stuff as of now and no fancy boutique crossover parts it does play awesome. Crossover as L1 4.7mH, R1 0.22/10w pair in parallel and C1 40+40+2Mf parallel caps.

Soundstage is wide and as if my entire room has become concert hall.

 

What amps do PAP owners drive it being a 4 ohm load? I am DIY guy for amps too so mostly Class A amps from the Nelson Pass stable like J2, F7 and then the SIT from another diyaudio member zenmod SissySIT R3 model. I feel they are underpowered for PAP as I have to crank up the volume to get a decent soundstage. Reading about these speakers seems like they like high damping factor and high current amps.

 

Not sure about PAP but driving my Maggie's with balanced M2OPS and plan to try balanced Holy Grail (and F5 derivative) - both high power out - - 100W

 

I do have built the HGF using those matched mosfets but I did not like with PAP. I went with the default FW rails of +/-24vdc so lower power.

 

A small update with the staining and polyurethane on the baffles.
