Had a good weekend, the Melton Mowbray hifi show was brilliant, lots of tasty kit.

Decided to super-charge my intial speaker ideas, by going open baffle, active with large woofers. 8-)

Problem solved.

I seem to have magic pixies living in my flat, not touched the CDP for a day or so, turn it on and no skipping, result!

I know someone who could do with some of those magic pixies....

Stuff that, seems its back on its period. now back to not playing anything :cry:

The diy stuff has taken a back seat, currently enjoying some little ATC SCM-7's, really like them! Already thinking of making my own floorstanding active version..... :lol:

Been trying to get in as much as i can today before i have to give them back :cry:

haha

How's the amp coping?

hoopsontoast · Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 10:55 pm

Coping well so far, warm but not that bad. Bass is still nice and tight so not struggling too much, but if i do get them, will be to tempting to look around for more POWER haha

DavidF · Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 11:05 pm

Definitely benefit from that!

hoopsontoast · Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 11:42 pm
