Early days, fairly new home....(to us )renovations continue ...but system is sorted,  Halcro EC 800 or Meridian G06.2 into either Quad 34 or Lightspeed into Quad ll 80 mono blocks into Quad ESL.

Picked up yesterday enough perforated ply sheets to make a feature wall....with the approval of my girl ? Mid Century Modern

House to myself this morning! ?

Just relaxing in the family room with a few tunes...

Never too early for a bit of FFD and some other tunes, before day 3 of Test Match will be on!

Yes Mendes , W8-1808's used in my DIY floorstanders.

They are sealed in 28L, then 10" SB Acoustic woofers are ported in 68L and tuned to 23Hz.

I was using 220Hz, 1st order crossover, but now with further experimentation i'm using my custom designed 200Hz, LR2 crossover. LR2 co is a big improvement. I'm very very happy with how they sound. 

The use of an adjustable L-pad is required for matching drivers sensitivity and in room listening preferences. 

TB 1808's easily do a measured 20000Hz, but at my age i can only hear up to 16000Hz max.

Cheers @Mushroom01, yes, those TB 1808 are very good sounding drivers.

I am using a pair of them in my system albeit I removed the wizzer cone and added a Raal ribbon tweeter......:thumb:

When I was a kid my uncle who owned a vee dub pointed to a pix of the new Mercedes S class and told me that the brakes in it cost more than his whole car. That’s how I feel looking at these incredible setups  ?

I bet his Vee Dub today would be worth a lot more then that European Taxi.☺️

Seriously guys

id like to see what’s in your garages!  Ferrari’s Porches!

Ive got a skateboard ?

As grandma left her gramophone to my rotten brother I’m experimenting with the one shellac I stole a ballpoint pen connected to a 9volt battery I found on tip day and speakers (yes I know about Stereo) which I’ve connected by straightening old clothes hangers to two empty soup cans,  after some experimentation I’ve gone with Cambells Creme of Chicken as Split Pea and Beef Stew we’re lacking in bass response.  I very much wanted to contribute pictures however the site won’t upload  photos from a Camera Obscura so I’ll  nip off to  uncle Teds and when he’s really drunk grab his box brownie and try again ?

 

ok you got me mr navi I was trying to complete so pretended I actually own a skateboard when in reality I don’t have the proverbial pot to piss in  Just shows what envy can do to a bloke ?

 

Happy Christmas too all?

How can you sleep at night with a TV like that!?!

I would be doing a whole season on netflix.
