Marco - I started to remove the SLP-05's outer case to take some shots but immediately remembered that the Cary opens from the bottom. Unless I start disassembling the interior, pics will only show the underside of the inner workings. Doubt this will provide much insight or drool-worthy photos, but if you're still interested, I'll take some shots and post.

What I'd really like to see are the components used, David, and whether or not the circuit is hard-wired or uses PCBs - and if the latter are used, how they are laid out. If you could wangle some pics of that somehow, then I'd be much obliged!

Lovely system although I'm not a big fan of subs - still a corker of a system, which I'd love to hear
