Saul Marantz would approve. One nice thing about hifi equipment is the variety of designs that work well. I used to work for Tech Hifi in the days they owned the eastern half of the country. I have had the pleasure of listening to 3 McIntosh 2100's powering a custom installed speaker system, delighted in the sound of Dalquist speakers, even helped a guy wrap a brand new pair of Magneplaner speakers in old blankets so he could take them through Custom's as "used room dividers valued at $30" which is slightly less than the $1600 he paid for them. I own Ohm speakers, model C+'s for solid bass and F's for their unique Walsh transmission driver technology. Even a set of model M's and a model H for surround sound.

Router is still my name

I agree Mike,
There are many many good amps and speakers out there. Most top speakers are over 5K and up to 250K but I enjoy the challenge of building my own.
The reason I got into wood working at the age of 14 was to build speakers.
The floor standing ones I’m working on are a definite challenge. It’s much easier to design a two way but 3 way MTWW is one of the most difficult designs and X-Over is going to give me hell, Because it’s very difficult to do the measurements and tweak the X-Over for time alignment and phase and the rest of the stuff in a room with all the reflections. Even the boxes are taking longer than I anticipated.
Oh well, I should be done by mid next year.
I hope.
