In reply,
As for the speakers: they are 7" Seas excel woofers paired with the Scan Speak air-circ tweeter. They are turned maple with an inner layer of poplar. For the wood workers, the yield on these is around 18-20%. The woofer enclosures are 16 liters ported. I tell people that the tweeters are also ported although the hole is for heat disapation. The wood is clad with copper. All of the spun copper is 0.040" anthe hammerd sides are 0.020". A new faceplate for the tweeter had to be fabricated from copper.newer versions wil use the Accuton cell tweeter. The base is walnut. I'm quite pleased with the performance but, the truth is your own ears. Bring your favorite cd and let me know what you think. Oh, while remenistant of the B&W's the are nothing alike other than the spherical front which should be attributed to Harry Olson.
To he who finds nothing to peak his interest, seems to me being that we're on the Emotiva board you might at least give them a bit of a shout out for the front end. Just say'n.
The system includes an ERC-3, XSP-1, and two XPA-DR2s. I'm working on a balanced A-B switch to switch between the pre and the two amps if any one is interested in that build.
To those who would admonish the nay sayer, if that type of talk had any more of an effect than a cloudy day, I would have wilted away a long time ago. You want to know abuse? Open a gallery, build a pair of speakers (the copper ones for this example), then put them out the for God and everyone to hear with a $36,400.00 price tag. Then stand back and let the fun begin. Trust me, your skin will tuffen up real quick. Or you'll quit. Oh, it works with high end furniture also.
To the little pair in the window, those are three inch desk tops. I just haven't gotten to get them set up yet. That little pair is quite impressive for there size. I have a BasX TA100 to go with those. About three times the power they need to melt down.
That's about enough for now. If you read through the entirety, I apologize for the rambling.
