Hi Chris, from another one.
Welcome to AoS from me. That sounds like an interesting system you have there. What sort of music do you like to play on it?

Thanks Chris.

I listen to mainly classical with great emphasis on pipe organ music. Because of the interest in organ music I needed a system that would reproduce as much as possible, the sound range of big organs. Hence the Double Tannoys (2 X 15" per side in horn cabinets) and a stupidly large sub woofer for the low (20Hz down to 8Hz) pipes. The sub is a tube 600mm X 600mm X 6 meters long with 4 X 18" stuck on one end. The things one does for a hobby!

I there is a place for members systems please point me at it as I would really like to see what others get up to...

Regards

Other Chris

Hi Chris and welcome. Sounds like an interesting system, you must have a large room!

I lived in Kempton Park for several years as a child.

Hi Again,

You left in time!

The room is 15 meters X 8 meters with a very funny ceiling. I used to have a pipe organ on one end so the actual listening end is 7.5 X 8 meters

If you want pics let me have your email address and I will upload them as I am not too sure where to upload them here.

Regards
