I'd be interested to hear people's views on this. I've looked into getting
one of these:

imported (the UK distributor can't, and if he could, £700) - they seem
well reviewed - but Adire don't seem too keen on replying to emails.



Very interesting (if somewhat kludgy) site......



To lose directionality, it needs to work below 60hz - I think - so that's
one of the things I'm thinking about.

Rest assured Keith, if it happens you can have a blast :-).

Things have moved on a bit since I posted the above - I got beat on an eBay
auction for an interesting sub earlier this evening, which leaves building
summat as the No. 1 option. Ho hum! ;-)

(Moira would actually *prefer* me to build something apparently - seems
she's got confidence in my building activities!!! :-)

The reason I'm attracted to the IPL kits is that it looks like you can get
the whole beeswax from what appears to be a UK one-man band and the prices
look quite reasonable (for 200W and decent sized Audax cones). I'm guessing
it would be a fairly good (simple?) 'first time project', especially as I
have been trying to avoid getting into anything to do with speakers - too
much new ground to cover!!

Anyhoo, I'll give the geezer a call tomorrow and 'feel' him out...... ;-)
