Will bring my Unison S6 Steve, along with the Bastanis if I get the time. Can also bring the Modwright phono stage if anyone wants to hear it.

Re: Jerry's ongoing system blog

Mega :guiness; Side firing woofers are not something i have got along with so far in my own diy tinkering. It's a shame i couldn't get it to sound right with what i have. I tried doping a 5.25" MS902S aluminum continuous cone once but it wouldn't have it :angry-banghead: That is a serious mid ...
