That looks pretty sharp. I made a TV stand using the 8020 extruded aluminum. What did you use to make the profile on the edge of your shelves? Later, Bryan

I agree I would not get them anodized locally for the reasons you said. I also ordered mine right to length, which makes making one of these stands relatively easy. Taping the ends of the 80/20 was not difficult, just boring and time consuming. I also put felt in between the aluminum and wood...

Yea I did even bother getting a cost for the black anodized, I like the light wood with the plain aluminum. However, if I did dark wood I would have tried to get black anodized. I ended up getting the 8020 localely, not from ebay, so I could have even gotten it cheaper. Actually when I was...

What brand and model number of Cat5 cable did you use to make these? Thanks, Bryan

Scott, Before I build mine I did look at yours. I looked at the Rose Krieger, per your design. But I liked the looks of the 80/20 and its extra grooves. Plus, I think the prices for the 80/20 were cheaper for me. I like the looks of the Salamander blocks, but I didn't love the price. I...

Joey Thanks for the hint with the wax paper. I should have done that with the PE peal and stick I tried. I am a little confused on the different types of veneer, paper back, wood back, nbr, etc.. I am not sure what works best for speakers, since we usually want it to rap around radiuses...

I have never done any wood veneering, but I did do some peel and stick. For the next DIY I think I will give wood veneer a try. Can't you spread wood glue on both the speaker and veneer, let it dry then use an iron to bond the two together. I was thinking of trying that instead of the contact...

Here are a couple more pictures. The small shelves are held up by some blocks that are attached to the extruded aluminum with T-nuts. As you can see the aluminum have T shape slots on all four sides that allow you attach things to. I ordered the blocks from Salamader Design, which is what I...

Thanks, this was the first piece of furniture I ever really made. It seemed like the set up before the cutting and routing took the most time. The top shelf is 1.5 inches thick, made with two 3/4 thick pieces of Maple plywood then trimmed in solid Maple. The other two large shelves appear to be...

This doesn't have much to do with the audio part but I figured I would post some pictures of my new TV stand I made. It seemed to take me longer to make then I originally planned, but I think it turned out pretty good. Let me know what you guys think for if you have any questions. I can post...

You want a pair of speaker for $250? Does that include the wood and finish? If not why can't he do the Gr Research A/V-1? The kit cost $229 per pair. Another option could be the new Exodus Audio Kit 4.1, about $160 per pair. I haven't heard either one of these personally but you should be able...

Those AV-3's look great. How did you finish them to get that glossy finish? Bryan

Looks good. I was thinking of doing something similar. What did you use to support the shelves?

How does this compare to Xlobby?

What type of power supply do these come with?

That looks great. I currently have a singe AV12 running off 350 Watts and it shakes the house. However, I have to PR waiting for a new box to be made. Let us know how it turns out. Oh by the way, after seeing the AV12 in person you might not worry about making a grill for it. Bryan

Those look pretty slick. What kind of banana plugs are those and where did you find them? I have been looking for some decent priced locking ones, but have not had good luck doing so. Thanks, Bryan.T

You got mail. Interested in the Case.

You got a PM

I might be wrong here, but I thought the problem with MTM centers is when you get so far off center. Therefor, if all your seating is with in that range then you would not see any problems with the MTM center. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Since I will be looking to build a simular set...

bruin, YGM

I would also like the files, could you PM? Thanks, Bryan.T

I also have the RX-V1400. The only thing I can think of is make sure the input mode is set to "auto", see page 34 of the manual. Let me know if this helps or not. Bryan

Just out of curiosity, are the Elf Spires sold as a pair or per channel?

Looks good. I have been debating on getting some PR for my AV-12. But, I already have to turn my sub down. Bryan
