"Glasshouse Speakers, Mighty Mini Monitors" Audio Appraisal Review

We’re happy to share a review published by Ashley Cox, Editor-in-Chief of the website Audio Appraisal.

After receiving a set of the Glasshouse Speaker Kit No.1, he assembled the kit and further developed the design by finishing the cabinets in a beautiful wood veneer and adding magnetic grille covers. He detailed the build process, tested the final product, and included some excellent photos.

In his own words,

"This is a pair of speakers built based on a kit from Hi-Fi Collective, the Speaker Kit No. 1. You are provided with a basic kit including a set of CNC-machined enclosure panels, electronics and drive units. You supply the time, the tools, the finish and the know-how. The result is a pair of mini monitors with a mighty sound. They stand a little over 300 mm high and 200 mm square, and are a sealed design in classic British bookshelf speaker tradition.

I deviated from the basic kit, adding cloth-covered grilles magnetically attached to the front baffle. They are veneered in a lovely American Walnut, oiled with Liberon ‘Superior’ danish oil, and wax polished to a smooth, satin finish.

I’m really pleased with how these came out. Full build article and review HERE"
