DCHFG – 09/13/2025 Meeting – His Masters Voice

We assembled at Gerry’s once again for a presentation by Voo Audio and Voo DIY speakers. Vinh Vu has created a fascinating twist on DIY speakers by providing a fully built speaker cabinet in a choice of several finishes along with all the speaker parts needed to complete the speaker. A new pair of speakers can be completed in an afternoon.

According to Vu, the tallish, stand speaker is a dual 6.5 inch woofer1-inch soft dome tweeter, two-way, bass reflex design with front mounted slot port. The speaker utilizes a third-order 2.7 kHz crossover. The tweeter is a TBI HDSS, custom-manufactured in Malaysia for TBI, which is located in Atlanta, Ga, The woofers are custom-made for Gingko Audio by the Foster-Culver Co. (Fostex).

The full cabinet price is a tick over $300, which includes tariff, customs fees and delivery to the USA, It typically takes 2.5 weeks from order to delivery,Vu added. Cabinets come with binding post assemblies, grills, acoustic batting material and wood screws for mounting woofers.

The speaker-component kit has a n introductory $499 MSRP. The MooVu Speaker Kit includes: four pre-wired, custom woofers with matching rubber seal gaskets, two pre-wired tweeters, two crossover assemblies, OFC copper wire, crossover mounting screws, wire nuts, and assembly instructions. “Typical build time is two hours per cabinet,” Vu noted. Gingko offers one-year against manufacturing defects for speaker kit from Gingko Audio. Cabinets warranty provided directly by Iwistao. Basically, the MooVu speaker pair kit is comparable to a $2,000 retail speaker pair, Vu emphasized.
