NYaudio98Your speaker also comes in a signature version with a better Tweeter. If it fits in the very same cutout, then use that tweeter. Check with the builder. From there you can upgrade the resistors and caps with the very same values. Your bui...

Your speakers are stunning and you are a very talented wood worker/craftsmen. They are the finest DIY speaker cabs I have ever set my eyes on. Congratulations! I assume your values are correct, but must say I question 94uf of capacitance on the mi... 
Amp Recommendation for Vienna Acoustics
I second the Belles recommendation. Your speakers loves a decent SS amp and there are many.......under $2000 new and used.- Electrocompaniet- Belles- bel Canto ...... I use on my Mozart- Odyssey amps- Van Alstine 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Yes, my statement also said they were high quality trannys made to play within their limited range of greatness. My goodness an amp priced this well, point to point wired, and that is beautiful to look at, has to save $$ somewhere. 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Yes, Dick should avoid a gross mismatch for sure. Should he hunt for a 10-16 ohm speaker for the review? No, not so much. I will read the other reviews to see the speakers that were used. 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Interesting spec on the Coincident EL34 amp. I think Al is spot on with his answer as to why. It is cost related and gives the builder an opportunity to make the best quality output tranny within a smaller range of ideal operation.A typical SET am...

Junker, I think you will be very pleased with the results. Let us know your initial reaction as well as your impressions after burn in. 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
It's always about the amp/speaker synergy...always. That is why, for example, the Inspire amp may not sound as good on a particular set of speakers. All about the synergy. Dennis uses good trannys on his Inspire amps as an FYI.I love this thread a...

After more listening the sound is only better and better with this crossover damping mod. I find I have to turn up to the music a click or two more than usual for the same perceived loudness. I know it is the noise that is now gone and was once ad... 
Addendum to
Good for you Dan! Perhaps you can find one or two more and store them! I agree 1,000,000% with you and your feeling about computers as they relate to music. I have enough of them at work etc.....Give me those discs and let me relax.

Thanks Al. I did just read this.....seems we have some cases of electrocution on record. We Aphiles should be aware." In the professional audio and video fields, the cheater plug has been identified as a serious safety problem. Its casual use as a... 
Eliminating hum
If a power cord would have a short to the chassis would'nt that trip a breaker in the home? I think the most cautious of us would say never use them as there is certainly a possibility of shock if all the conditions are aligned perfectly. It is al... 
Eliminating hum
Goodness I have used cheaters my whole 37 years of audio life. Most of us have and it will at least help you understand if it is a ground loop issue. I must be lucky:). I have never, ever heard of any incident in real life to be honest Agoners. Al...

Ya, just like LP's were dead 20 years ago. Keep spinning as many of us will keep spinning.

Ok folks before you read what I am about to post and think I have gone absolutely nuts, keep an open mind. Oh, and don't tell my wife as she will think I have lost my mind.I finally placed my outboard crossover in a nice chassis. I was doing some ...
