    Wow. Much,
    Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
    But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
    Always was. Always will be.


    One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.

    What does it cost now to buy a pair of these from Tannoy? £25K? What an outstanding DIY effort, if AOS handed out medals Dave would get one for this build.

    Default Preliminary Review


    First I should say I am humbled by all the positives comments and encouragement along the way from all of you on the forum that have followed this build and you, enthusiasts, with far more knowledge and experience than I am ever likely to have. And thankyou also to AOS for this indulgence, prior to this I was not even a member.
    .
    My first listening, with more notes to follow later when I hook up my Phono Amp, and have my Pre Amp and Power Amp delivered……..soon I hope.

    For those that know the sound of horns or don’t, the music is big and powerful, you don’t just hear the music you also feel it through your body. These speakers impose themselves and dominate the listening space. They are very big. The bass is big and moving but not limited to only this frequency but right across the mid range and treble the sound is more live and energetic. The soundstage is immense.

    I suspect, I hope, another curtain will be lifted from the sound when I add the right amplification in a week or two. But gee it is very, very nice already.

    Thank you David for building these behemoths under our wondering gaze.

    Its been a real pleasure to witness the birth of a real pair of hand built/crafted speakers with pictorial narration.

    I like many others can only wonder how those beautiful speakers might sound.

    Its a testament to your wood working skills and knowledge as to how good they look and will undoubtedly sound as part of a balanced system.
