I finally upgraded to a K2 last year and it's a great amp. They are routinely on ebay in good condition and sell under $700.

Dan, The woofers look great in their shipping box! You might want to update the pic on your site, as the silicone around the surround has a kind of unfinished look and the drivers (which don't have the silicone) are beautiful. Are you going to post the design details on your site, i.e...

You might be able to do the Audax kits for that although two pairs of the mains and the center will cost you about that for the components alone without cabs. They are very good sounding and for the money about the only thing with the level of performance. The three way center with the midrange...

you can make a good svideo cable using category 5 wire used for networking. I used shielded but I think you could get away with unshielded depending on whether it's exposed to close sources of interference. Just get a dayton svideo cable from parts express, they have ends that unscrew. Desolder...

What made you go with the Usher over the Hiq? I guess the 10 watt rating is deceptive since they spec it at "full range signal." Not that it matters here, but this is probably hurting their marketing to some extent, I know I missed the "full range signal" qualification, or the parts express...

Any details on the MT prior to CES?

Got an email that the woofs had shipped :)

Guys! This is the same goo seen here in Maxim! Ok, the shot in Maxim is the kit with rollers, but it's the same goo on the pages of that fine rag! let's try $100. for the goo, that is :D

1000ml Crt White Goo, 1000ml Crt White Base coat, 250ml Ultra Black All new, unopened, turned out I don't need it. List price $183, first $120 takes. Price dropped to $100.

Does anyone know what the cone material for the extremis is?

It's highly variable. I got a PC fixed base for $40. It works great, just had contact cement all over the cord which cleaned up fine. I then lucked up on a mis-matched plunge base at HD which I scored for $10. The mgr didn't know how much it was so he asked me to make an offer. Gotta say I...

If you plan to do alot of woodwork you might want to invest a little more in a router. Or, you can get good deals on routers by looking at pawn shops. Porter cable, dewalt come to mind, usually around 1/2 price.

Dan, what's the cone material for the Extremis? Also has there been any progress on the reference design(s)? I have been looking at the BG neo3-pdr (as a kind of lower end fun alternative, you know the PE catalog is by the can), I know you have probably looked at it, and it has some issues...

bump - added doc link to post.

The Hiquphon does look really good. If you're going to do something, might as well do it right.... Pairing the Extremis with a top-notch tweeter will result in a no-compromise mini-monitor that runs with the big dogs. The full range idea sounds good, and it occured to me that this will help...

** Edit - I found the documentation for the system, it's up on my web server. Thought that might be of interest since the Audax link is broken ** The Audax Home Theater Kits designed by Joe D'Appolito - cabinets built of mdf with double thickness front baffles, flush mounted drivers...

Ned, can you recommend a brand of gesso? My BOC is put up with the vinyl side out, I would think it would be the other side I'd want to paint, the fabric side. Have people painted the vinyl side?

A few observations.. 1. Nice screen, room looks like it's shaping up nicely too. 2. I like posts with the pics right in them also, it shows you care how your post is seen and took the trouble to host the pics somewhere instead of just sticking in a bunch of links. 3. Front projection rules...

Funny, I keep looking at the Morels, and at the same time thinking of a slim tower with a tweeter pod on top, then looking at the mdt-41. They have some sexy things that might put them in good company with the extremis... Neo magnets / inherently shielded Hexatech coils good off-axis...

Funny, that's what I was hoping for. Even with one woofer it would have over twice the displacement ability of the Audax kit fronts which of course have two woofers. That seems reasonable to me. Also consider it would have the displacement of two of the Scan-speak woofers that cost well in...

Additionally you can figure on getting new fans with less total airflow if the amp will always be in a climate-controlled environment. The original fan had to keep the amp cool in ambient temps up to 90-100 degrees, so you get at least 20 degrees for free. I did this with my Crest amp and it's...

I see a lot made of seperate placement of subs having the potential to to even modal humps/dips. Did you try placing them in different locations and then settle on the corner as the best sounding spot or did you put them in the corner from the get-go and find you were happy? Just wondering since...

Generally bracing will raise the frequency of the panel resonance. A smaller panel resonates at a higher pitch, which is good, since you get the panel resonant frequencies above the useful limit of the sub. You should always brace every enclosure where you have room internall to do so. It never...

Since it hasn't been mentioned, pawn shops are a great source for the heavy-duty tools at a 50-70% discount. They're ususally a little rough looking, sometimes superficial and a little cleaning will surprise you, sometimes just used alot; they will stand up to your abuse and laugh. I got a bosch...

I don't blame you for coming here though, since you only got a couple of semi-helpful responses. If I was faced with that, I would get a Tumult, box it to your liking (that would be PRs unless you can stand a big box), and then once you notice that you don't need the deftech anymore, sell it and...

I have been having trouble with the Linkin Park dvda, it starts skipping around track 17 and gets worse and worse so all you hear on track 18 is pops of sound against silence, track 19&20 totally unplayable as they cause the disc to stop. On the stereo tracks they also stop the player. The disc...

You can replace the last 6 feet of your duct before the register with flex duct (which is exactly like plastic dryer vent with insulation) to help with noise. There are also inline noise suppressors. www.hvac-talk.com for hvac experts http://www.hvacquick.com/frfnconfig.asp?fm=ld for silencers
