Those of you who were disappointed when Ivan retired and closed his business will be pleased to know that he has had a change of mind and has decided to re-open. The only downside, for some, is that...

Thank you, Jerry, for your kind words. If my memory serves me you built a pair of S2Tlm's a while ago. I have a pair myself and wouldn't change them. Interestingly the M1's sound very similar with a...

Hi Steven,

Can I suggest that you have a look at my ad for the IPL M1Tlm's on page 6. Granted they are in walnut rather than oak but they are a delightful pair of speakers- well I would say that...

Web address now added, thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks, Dennis, for that suggestion but that idea has been tried already. All of Ivan's transmission line speakers can be fine tuned to a degree. Treble can be increased or decreased slightly by...

Thank you, Alan, for your comments. I will admit that I am very disappointed that they are for sale, the irony being that they are too good........ I didn't realise that they were were going to be...

Anyone in the Cambridge area interested in these speakers? I built them for a friend just before Christmas but unfortunately he can't live with them because there is far too much bass for his small...

That made very interesting reading! I have listened to PMC speakers many times at the Bristol show and have always thought that the IPL's were much better. It would be very interesting to find out...

If it is of any help to you I use Cardas Quad Eutectic solder. It is a silver solder and I agree with Ian that some silver solders are a pita to use but this is different. It melts quite quickly and...

Afternoon Jerry,

Because I am a home cinema man as well as wanting to listen to music I use an Arcam AVR 550. I am blown away by the Dirac room/speaker correction and use it all the time. It...

Hi Evie,

My hobby is building IPL kits for customers and I can confirm that they are excellent speakers and to my mind are one of the best kept secrets in the industry. They compare very...

If you like the idea of tranmission lines can I suggest that you have a look at IPL speakers? I will readily admit that I am biased because I make them as a hobby but if you do a little research you...

How much do you want to spend?

All the specs are on Ivans's website. He is a super guy and will be happy to demo his speakers with your kit I'm sure. I will be very surprised if you are not impressed. If you like them but don't...

Have you considered IPL tranmission lines? Unfortunatley Ivan Leslie lives on the other side of the Devon coast but have a look at his website, www.iplacoustics.co.uk and go and have a listen if...

Hi Gary, have just found your post. Shame you couldn't make it. Another Gary (Stryder5) was due to come but was unfortunately laid low after a flu jab so it turned out to be a very mini bake off!...

Hi Barry,
Have just come found your post about a possible bakeoff. I live on the far side of Cardiff which is not too far from you. My hobby is building IPL transmission line speakers. If you do...

I recently replaced my IPL M4 bookshelf speakers with the latest model and intend to sell the old ones. I had been using them as rear speakers in my home cinema setup but they are excellent little...

I've not used Osmo 1101 so I can't say anything about it. Best get samples of all prospective products and give them a try! I can tell you that when the Osmo oil that I use is dry it is not sticky at...

Hi Phil,

I have had good results with Osmo Polyx 3032 clear satin. It does take a while to dry but will produce an excellent finish. It has the advantage of being very easy to make good if you get...

Hi John,

What state are your speakers in? A photograph would be useful. If you use the right materials and if the cabinets are not in too bad a condition you would probably be able to do a decent...

Hi John,

My hobby is building speakers and I have recently made a pair for myself with an ebonised ash finish. To get the effect that I wanted I used two coats of Liberon ebony spirit dye that...

Hi Carl,

I have to say I am very impressed with your work. I am not a turntable man myself, my hobby is making speakers so I do some veneering myself. I would be very interested to have a chat...

Is anyone interested in buying my IPL S2Tlp transmission line speakers?
