Re: New speaker day!

The small size will help the rigidity. From the photos, that's a top class job he's done of fitting the panels together. I'm wondering what he'd charge to make bespoke cabinets for the semi-keen DIY'er? It'd be interesting to compare those Mycetias against the Sevenoaks / Richer Sounds type bookshe...

Re: New speaker day!

How can it be worth...

New speaker day!

Yesterday was an exciting day for me as I picked up my new speakers. Having auditioned a pair a few weeks ago at the builders house and being blown away by them, I promptly ordered a pair of Mycetias V2 in driftwood. It was late on last night before I had a chance to set them up so I only had a chan...

Re: I'm back!

Hmm... Might be safer getting an ifi zen, bypassing the attenuator and feeding it into a cheap single input passive until a suitable P50 comes along I've been happy to sell brand new power amps to use with a volume control equipped DAC directly connected.

Kae Tempest - the line is a curve. Stunning album. Sincere, delicate and gritty at the same time.

Re: Modern Minstrel

Does anybody know what would be the closest available equivalent to the original Minstrel bass drivers? I still intend trying the qtx ones the doc used but I'm curious to know if there is something a bit truer to the original that will be good for doping treatment
