Ya gotta larf tho' - he introduces the point into the thread and then tries
to batter me with *irrelevancy* charges! (Besides which, I already tole him
it's my thread and I'll take where I want!!)

Like this f'rinstance: Go scrute my new/latest 'Faure' horns:

Impressive! I was outnabout looking for some power tools, for shelves
mainly, but with a possible 'dual use' in mind :-)

In the end relied on the trusty jigsaw, but it has to be said you've got
those edges sorted. Plenty of room in here for a few more speakers:

.... at the moment. I've been trying to ween myself off the Beard amp
(under the telly atm) for some months now, but it's going nowhere (quite
literally, weight of the bloody thing), and still does something
remarkable to the music.

The drivers are just out the box and fitted only an hour or so ago and they
*already* sound very **beguiling**!! (Takes weeks to get 'em browned in
properly, but they are amazing right from the off!!) My first 'custom'
design (OK, *tweaked* Fostex standard design....)

Gotta say it - these Visaton drivers are an absolute doddle and a fraction
of the price of the equivalent Fostex units. Get them from Neil at Impact

Top bloke, top service and although his main business is 'industrial' he's
an audio enthusiast and very interested in the 'firewood horn' phenomenon!!


They'd be from the 'industrial units' at about 8 quid a throw?

What about the little placky grilles - do they look OK?


Well, they do look a *little* bit like standard fit mid-70s Datsun :-)
