FYI Carl. The fruit is called a Kiwifruit in this country. It is just for people in strange foreign lands (like yourself) that we felt the need to make the spelling easier. A Kiwi is a flightless bird, but the word is also used to describe New Zealanders (as in Yank to describe all you from USA), as well as our national Rugby League team (a Rugby Union man myself). Yes I do know the speaker designer gentleman to whom you refer, but not directly. If you really want to talk to him I can find out his details for you. If my memory serves me right he also makes a thumping great turntable that one of those frigates might come in useful for (honestly cannot think of any other use for them), and also has invented a transparent device for mating tube amplifiers with low impedence speakers. Apparently the modification is made directly to the speaker.
