    I got these Lampizator P17's through a contact of Ali Tait's a couple of months ago. It has taken me to now to get them to my liking. Those who are aware of the design will see that there are some add-ons. I suspect that the SQ of this clip will not do them justice.

    Oh I don't know Rob , they're sounding rather good , particularly the bass. I nearly went for these when they came up for sale but as per usual other demands on my meagre hifi fund put paid to that .
    What work did you do on these Rob , and what were the resultant changes ?
    What's the track BTW ?
    Regards

    Hi Brian and Shane. I re-engineered the components in the crossover (values unchanged apart from the tweeter cap value) to give a better electrical connection and to enable easy swapping of bits if necessary. The bass crossover is completely separate to enable them to be run with another amp (the one on the floor). The Green Cone mids and tweets And the additional drivers are run by the Sony.

    The track is from Bill Laswell - In Dub (2015 album) I first came across him years ago when he did an album called something like Bob Marley - Ambient Translations in Dub.

    Thanks Rob , looks like you've had your work cut out . At least the work has rewarded you with a sound you're happy with.
    I'll have a look on Spotify for the albums . Ta

    I have the P17's. It depends what your wood working skills are like. However they are stupidly easy to build, and the sound that comes out of them is stunning. I've had mine for years now, that's coming from a speaker swapper .

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
