How you guys doing? Hows your systems hangin? Have you made any Minor/Major changes, Mods, Revelations? Discoveries? I did today, after running the Mock N-1600 crossover for three weeks and fighting with a HF that I wasn't happy with I swapped them out for the PCD ones I had before. It's much nicer now.

Feel free to share what you've been up to. I'd love to hear it.

I just watched Men in Black 3 last night. My system has been the same since about last April/May. My 9444A powering Jensen Tri-ette speakers, a Sony DVD player, and my 27" Sony Wega, The Jensens were the last change I think, and that was April/May. I've been thinking about swapping in my 835A Monterey Jrs.

System is pretty well tuned and not changing much these days. That's a good thing! Have been building a little tube amp from scratch - wires and solder everywhere - that's the project of the month.

Badly in need of room treatments... systems the same... Craddeldorf I tried the 19's and 604's at the same time, as expected results.. spent 10 hours getting home from NY, should have taken 2 and a half.. wife and five year old were broadsided going 10 miles and hour by someone out of control going 55.. Thank god for german engineering, they are fine.. Bought a rather large pair of klipsch horns 40.5 L X 26.5 H X 22 D... Cant find a pack in ship place near sellers house... Just a bad week... The good news I might be building some onken W's soon.. Hope you are all doing better..

I've been trying my 604-8g's in place of model 19's for the last few days. I really think the 604's are better for jazz and small group classical than the 19's but they just don't rock the same way. I listen to a lot of different types of music so both work but not for everything. I'll try the 604's with a couple of subs for while to get a better idea of what's what.
I also have a couple of halves of a conference table (4' x 5' with curved sides) from my old office that I was going to use to store my 16" drivers on but when I cut the first two holes I thought, "hey, open baffle". I put two 421's reconed as 416's on the bottom, a 16" 420 mid and an 811/802 on top. Surprisingly good sounding but it needs a lot of crossover work. Also tried a real 416 on the mids but the 420 was better on the OB arrangement.

Built some diyhifisupply monoblock kits.
Got hold of unbuilt kits from 2007-2008 of LD91 mk 2 signature monoblocks (using the 310 pentode as driver).
Great amps and a great match with my Altec 604-8Gs. Better with the Altecs in many ways compared to the Hypex ncore monoblocks I assembled last winter.
Next project will probably be a NOS dac kit.

Got a whole lot going on...so much in fact, I'm not spending as much time on my sonic endeavors as I'd like.
My current speaker projects:
* construction of my Stonehenge III clone cabinet for my 604E
* Got the 604E crossovers ready to test once the cabinet is done, then will measure and tweak them down
* Designed a new passive XO for the garage (416A in 816s, 802-8Gs on 511s). need to complete the build, measure, tweak
* Build a test box for calculating Vas - want a 15" baffle version and then a 12" baffle version
* A/B listening test with Stock M14 XO vs. DEQ active XO

That ought to hold me until summer
