New Mcintosh C-22
I'm little confused here.  Do you mean a new (for you) but nice, old C-22?  Or, has McIntosh come out with a newly updated version of the old C-22? 
Any GON members ever try Mye stands on MG-20/20.1?
Teajay;I can't fit 3.6s or 20s into my listening space, but I do have four 1.7s (quadraphonic).  I fully agree with the benefits discribed by Rootman & Peter so I won't bother with that.  My experience is that I bought a pair of Mye stands for...

Arggggggh!I received the remaining parts and assembled a large number of Ozinators held together with superglue and with Blue Stik/Blue Tak. So I am all ready to start the big experiment, started turning on the components, and somehow blew the fu...

Thanks. The Hareline Alaska Brass cones I mentioned are 9.5mm cones, which fit very well into the 1/8" caps. Not so well that they stick all by themselves. You will still have to glue them, but the cone edge is just a little bigger than the cap...

Oh, I forgot.   For the superglue I used a small bottle of Gorilla Gel Superglue.  Very easy to use.Toolbox

I just received my 1/8" brass caps from Valley Hydraulic today.http://www.valleyhydraulic.comMy extra large fly fishing cones fit very well, but I did need to glue them together.  I got 15 cones so I glued 10 of the cones into 10 caps using 3 drop...

Jkbtn, Toddverrone, Ozzy & all;Thanks for the info. Since they're so inexpensive I ordered three of the sizes. The 10mm, 12mm &14mm sizes. 14mm - those are huge! Easily more than a half inch wide! I can see why you would need a 3/8" c...

Correction,  I ordered my cones from: theflyfishers.com 
Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs
OzzyYes I'm going to try that.  I don't know if they will fit together though.  Stay tuned.I like Ozinators because it's a nice tip-of-the-hat to the first guy I saw doing this, and also it keeps you away from anyone hastling you based on trademar...

Geoffkait;Yeah, I figure working with the Magnepans is going to be a challenge.  Especially, since I have a quad set-up which means I have four Maggie 1.7s to deal with, plus two large subwoofer enclosures.I like Ozzy's sugestión of attaching some...

Todd;You can find out about Ozzy's DIY resonators (or Ozinators, as I am calling them) if you read the thread titled. "Synergistic Research HFT + FEQ".  I think Ozzy started to write about them on page two and had a lengthy conversation with Sabai...
