Well, with one channel of the Pi 7 Pro-'phile (or whatever the heck I should call it!), complete, I'm almost afraid to assemble the other one. First you must understand that I don't dance. Period. Don't ask me, I won't dance. (There's a song in there somewhere . . .) So the fact that I've been jumping around the room dancing and laughing and singing this afternoon while listening to one channel of a system is really unsettling. But I'm just gonna have to take my chances and try it in stereo on Friday. (First chance to ferry the other cabinet in via V-dub Beetle!) Wottinhe*l is he carrying on about? Check the link. ;-) Hey Wayne - Couldja mail me a couple decals/stickers? I know there was one in the xo box, but I dunno what the deuce I did with it! These should be flyin' the flag, dontcha think? ;-)

I'd estimate the cost at $3,250 for the pair. (Man, I wish I hadn't figured that out!)
;-pThe woofers and tweeters are used, the mids from the JBL tent sale. I bought the xo's from Wayne, the horns from bmar; bought the wood and exchanged Magnequest iron for Garland's cabinet-building expertise and time. (Did I thank you, Garland? I'm sure I did, but it bears doing again.) THANKS, MAN! If you build your own xo's and cabinets, use Bill's utility horn and go with a less nose-bleed pricey tweeter, you could do it for a bunch less. The tweeters are something, though . . .

Hi Wayne! So it's 7:30am and I'm sittin' here in the shop listening to Bonnie Raitt's "Luck of the Draw" - left channel only. Woo hoo! Surround sound my as*. Get the first one or two channels right and you just won't care about the other nonsense. If only concerts sounded this good. ;-) Absolutely! Tend to do that anyway, as does John LaPaire. I keep a running log of meeting notes and photos on my TriodeandCo.com site, although I've missed the last two (unthinkable!), so I really need help from the guys who were there to fill it in. I'll be bringing the TAD/JBL's (duh!), Audio Note CD Transport Two, DAC 3.1x (or the brandy new 2.1x Balanced, if it gets here soon!) M5 pre, Quest Silver Sig amps, WannaGlows and Bill's Conqueror amp (look out, Rochester!) Pretty much the same toys I had at Lima, except diff speaks, and I'll leave the 'table home - host Steve Culton's tweaked Rega P3 will do the honors! Hopefully others will jump in with their intended goodies! You can also follow the link below (bottom right corner of the page for Bot stuff):
