Actually for the performance level the cost was peanuts in relative terms. Although he did build the speakers himself, which would be beyond me.
This bloke has done similar for just a couple of hundred quid, although he did write his own software, that only saves the price of the DSP unit, (a few hundred): https://therationalaudiophile.wordpr...m/the-project/

will do when I get the time. Need to find a CNC place locally that can cut with a water jet. Don't want to do the driver cutouts by hand, would look too messy.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

“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!”

Had Peter (Petrat) round here this morning, he brought me a geetar (which I might show you tomorrow if you are all good).
Anyway long story short he had a bit of a listen to it, (which is probably slumming it a bit for him given what he uses himself); He reckoned the ported bass is the weak point ( 'a bit soft and fuzzy)', and that the lack of holographic imaging could be down to the lack of bass below 40 HZ (the port being tuned quite high, meaning bass rolls off fast after 40 Hz) and that a proper sub that will do 20 Hz would help retrieve the ambient cues lurking in the deep bass.
He makes a very valid point I think. It doesn't actually matter if there are musical frequencies down there on the recording, it still affects the illusion of reality.
I have all the bits to build such a thing lying about, might think about it.

Tune the port to a lower system resonance. Make it narrower or longer. It can be done as a reversible measure.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
