    This is silly. An amp costing less than forty quid shouldn't sound this good. It's punchy and very transparent and clean. I'll listen more before drawing proper conclusions though.

    Will look for suitable rubber feet and check out the fan slowing mod.

    On their way from China. More drivers!

    6.5" full range units. Looks like a quarter wave horn system is the way to go this time round.

    I shall alter the cabinet design slightly to suit my needs.

    This driver has a 51.4Hz resonance, but other drivers may be tried too, so a variable port may be included so I can tune the system resonance accordingly to hopefully fall in the driver roll-off region. This reduces bass humps and extends bottom end output.

    If I can get away with say a 40Hz system resonance, there should be output below this, albeit rolling off.

    Hi Geoff, are these Class D or A/B? I see that they can be got for around £100 for a pair......is that right? Are they monoblocks? Lastly....what do they sound like? Specs look good.
    Buy Bose...And get your parking validated!.

    They are class AB pro gear, nicely made. They have a button on the back to switch to monoblock, speaker connection then across the two red terminals.
    They sound very good indeed, when Oli and I connected one up after listening to something very special it was surprising how good the sound was.
    I am using one as my daily driver at the moment, in stereo mode driving Quad ESL57's.

    Try a lower offer if you fancy a pair, I know £80 has been accepted recently.

    Thanks for that Alan. It is silly money so I am very tempted.
