I'm offering my services on a more official basis here on the Art of Sound.
I'll be coming out with a snazzy website soon, but for now here is a summary of what I offer / can do for you.

The trading name I've chosen is Magna Audio. Magna as many will know is latin for great, extensive, powerful:)

I offer a custom build service for

Turntable counter weights. Ideal for heavier cartridges like SPU, IO etc

Speaker cabinets and installations

GRF-R style cabinets for 12" and 15" Tannoy Dual concentric drivers, Silvers, Reds, Golds, HPDs, 3828's etc. Available in a range of finishes and veneers. I build and fit drivers you supply or can provide the drivers and cabinets as a turn key solution.

My own tall and narrow GRF-R design (proving very popular). The the back loaded horn has been modelled and designed to provide the full big Tannoy sound, but with a smaller room friendly footprint.

Crossovers are usually built in, but can be fitted to custom made external crossover boxes

As you may have seen I also build horn speaker systems and can discuss individual projects and requirements.
This includes, horn / tapped horn design and build, compression driver selection advice and fitting. Crossover design and digital signal processing build and commissioning.

I also offer a room acoustics measurement service using professionally calibrated equipment.

No job is too big or too small. Efficient and friendly service.

Please PM me for further details and pricing.
