Joe Syrian Motor City Jazz Octet, A Blue Time was released on April 24, 2026. "On A Blue Time, the stellar, sophisticated, wildly adventurous sophomore album by the Joe Syrian Motor City Jazz Octet, the veteran visionary drummer and bandleader continues his ongoing dialogue between jazz tradition and imaginative reinvention, guiding his nimble, well-heeled powerhouse ensemble through a spirited, stylistically fluid set that balances vintage swing, Afro-Latin grooves, cool-toned introspection and playful experimentation.

If we build it, they will come!!

Excellent! We love project threads. There's a forum for Speakers where you can start a new thread and brag on your project ..., and people will comment, answer questions, or otherwise keep you motivated! 😉

I haven’t built them yet, the hybrid open baffles. I have only assembled some parts to get an idea of the sound I can expect. The mock ups sounded amazing. I will certainly post pics of the finished product. I will likely also post some progress pics.

Welcome, @Bbracken, glad you found us. Cut and paste some pictures of your speakers! they sound very interesting. We love pictures!

Welcome to TCS. That is a rare item, and the manual, very rare. If you come across one, please scan it and send it in so we can add it to the library. I do recall this popping up on eBay as a New in Box, about 2 years ago, IIRC. As for static, sounds like your unit might have something aging (capacitor, perhaps) and going bad. Or, just loosely based on the symptoms, it might be a cracked solder joint. All fixable by the right tech. Best of luck! And, again, welcome to TCS.

WELCOME @Bbracken! That's an interesting speaker project. Keep us updated with your progress by posts including photos...we love audio porn.

Just a brief note of introduction. Been something of an audiophile beginning in the 70’s. I have had a bucket list item I have finally completed: I finally bought a Carver power amp! First of 2 or 3, possibly. This one is a Carver M-400t Cube. I will be matching it up with my Frankenstein speakers… which is to say I have Klipsch horns, the woofers to go with them, and plans for an open baffle hybrid speaker. The horns will be “unboxed” and in the open (they sound fantastic unleashed!!) while the bass woofer (and possibly a sub-woofer also) will be in a 6 cubic ft sealed box. The plans for the box are still unfinished, as I plan on boosting the base over that which Klipsch settled for. As part of my solution will be 2 passive radiators in the box. Potentially 12” woofers (from Heresy 2) a pair of subwoofers and passive radiators. Likely all 4 vertical sides occupied with bass production lol Having a Carver unit is participating in my own history, sort of lol I am hugely excited by it all.
