    Building a sub, suggestions on driver/enclosure?

    I would recommend following ThomasW's advice. Focus on a quality driver like the RL-P 15" that he recommends. If the Nady amp scares you, you can still use the a plate amp like the PE 500Watt, HPSA500, for about $300. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=300-806 Other options...

    Ideas for DIY slim tower speakers

    No question that John Hancock (JonMarsh) is well respected designer and a super nice guy. I know that since he has been extremely generous to me. And I will not judge his work based on the one set of speakers that I heard. The Extremis are very good as a woofer. In the LCR, Kit2641 and APEX...

    Ideas for DIY slim tower speakers

    Thomas, Have you had a chance to listen to the newer Adire kits... LCR, Kit61, Kit261 or Kevin's Kit2641? You should. You cannot judge it based on what you know of the Extremis 6.8 and Mark's measurements. I have listened to Jon's M8a IIIs, MT with M8a and Vifa XT25 design. And it does...

    FS: Like new Pioneer Elite 56TXi

    After a lot of complaining, looks I convinced the sales guy at Magnolia Hi-Fi to give me a refund. Glad I dont' have to play games. But I will think hard about going back to that particular store.

    FS: Like new Pioneer Elite 56TXi

    This is brand new, used 2-3 times as a preamp. The internal amps have never been used. Bought from Magnolia Hi-Fi on Aug 17th. Was gone on business for 10 days. So, very little use. Can provide copy of original receipt so you will have full warranty as Magnolia is a certified Pioneer retailer...

    Lets have some fun. Build me a 2 channel system for my dunlavys. $8000 or less.

    Jesse, I hired mine out to Adire. They have technicians and engineers who will do a much better job than I can. And the fee was minimal. But for off the shelf amps using latest technologies, the Nuforce is appealing. Plus it has 30day free trial. So, does Squeezebox. Al

    Lets have some fun. Build me a 2 channel system for my dunlavys. $8000 or less.

    PC based audio or HT systems are going to become more popular. And the performance is already darn good. Thus, it makes sense to put your focus on speakers and amps which will work with standard or PC based systems. With your budget, research Hypex UcD based amplifiers in audiocircle and...

    Lets have some fun. Build me a 2 channel system for my dunlavys. $8000 or less.

    I have heard and had audiophile type transports and DACs. The SlimDevices Squeezebox is built for sound quality. As a music server and transport, it is excellent... doubt you will do better esp. when you consider the convenience. You need to use lossless formats such as FLAC. You can learn about...

    FYI: PE DOTD 500 Watt Plate Amp!

    Cacu, It depends what you are after. I know TG3 is happy driving his Tumult with a 380watt plate amp. So, even 90-95% of the output is sufficient for some. Al

    Adire Extemis 6 Specs / Designs

    How would you compare the detail of the Extremis compared to a SS8545 which I find warmer sounding with less detail than a Seas Excel W18 which can also sound analytical. It would be amazing if the Extremis approaches the level of detail of a 8545. Al

    Adire Extemis 6 Specs / Designs

    Scanspeak 8545 at Madisound, http://www.madisound.com/, costs $145. IMO .5 to 1db is not worth paying 50% more (with all else being equal). Al

    Wha-BAM!!

    I don't mind waiting for the replacement. I just want John to confirm that he will replace the single spider AV15 when the new AV15 comes in. John, all it takes is an e-mail. Thanks, Al [email protected]

    Wha-BAM!!

    John, What option do you offer to replace a 1st generation AV15? Darren Thomas just recently took it out of the box and noticed that it has the single spider, meaning it has the very high failure rate. Prefer to replace it with the AV15 MKII when it comes in. Thanks, Al Garay...
