Links to other interesting speakers and amplifiers for those who would like
to enter the friendly and fascinating world of DIY HiFi.


Jem,

It's just possible that my wife will come to hate you..

Back in the days of my teens I used to build all kinds of stuff, turntable kits, speaker
kits, Amps. One set of Wharfedale based speakers from around 1970 is still being used on an
electronic organ by a friend of my parents. Amps included a Mullard based copy of a Leak 6W
job ( which I wish I still had! ), a heavily modded 'Texan' & a Linsley Hood 75 to name but
three.

Over the years I've migrated to Linn/Audiolab/Mission integrated with a Denon based AV setup
which gives me the best of both worlds..

Then you come along with your quarter wave speakers and home built amps and suddenly I can
hear how sweet those low power valve jobs and simple speakers sounded.. Umm, and my mate
around the corner has a pro quality wood cutting, moulding, routing all in one machine. So
that's no problem..

Curse you sir !

T.


That Texan design was great - still using mine!
