As I have mentioned in the past, I get a trickle of correspondence from
idiots who just don't seem to be able to settle for a stack of 'safe name'
gear and 'flavour of the month' speakers. Here's another one in this morning
I know will be of interest to one or two he

Hi Keith,

I thought you may care to know my impressions of a completed pair of
needle's:

Second needle completed followed by a test in the workshop with both pairs
driven. The result in the workshop with both pairs operating was startling
compared to just the single needle. A completely different sound has
emerged.

I also performed a basic test of system resonant frequency and measured
125Hz. Glad to note I could not detect any difference in system resonance
between either speaker.

Keen to try a better environment, I moved the pair up to the house and
listened to them properly. Your assumption of improved performance is spot
on - bass has filled out and the pair sound REALLY good. My wife can't
believe that such a tiny speaker can produce such sweet sound.

Looking carefully at the Buschhorn MK2 and noting your comments regarding
the expected and resulting performance, using the FE103 this time, I think
the Buschhorn will indeed supply "all" the speaker I require. My needle's
can then become my workshop speakers.

I feel a visit to my local hardware store for a supply of mdf is imminent!

I'll let you know in due course of my Buschhorn impressions....

Best regards

XXXXX

Careful now, Keith! You know that any post that says "my wife noticed
the difference" is invalid :-)

Too much for me. The lady suggested this morning that we should pop
down to Hyde Park to watch the nude cycle ride, until I pointed out
two problems. 1- far too hot, and 2 - the sort of people who want to
take their clothes off in public are always those who should be banned
from doing so on sick-making grounds.

Mint (home grown of course) tea in the garden for me right now.

Very nice! I'm on the Lemming Tea myself and there's a steam whistle peeping
from time to time, probably down by the river (4/500 yards?) and it's too
'ot to wander down to see what it is!

I can't believe I'm getting so damn lazy....!! :-(

(I bet it's a little steam boat!!)
