Great. Thank you all so much. Cheers

Was wondering if someone can steer me in the right direction with this. Have ordered and paid for the Xover parts for the Ergo IX. However one of the parts (the Jantzen Iron Core Coil with Discs 1,000mH AWG15 0,11Ohm) is out of stock and the supplier asks if they could, to save holding up the...

Thanks James, that it makes perfect sense now. If I may I have a last question regarding the placement of the Morel tweeters in relation to the Scanspeak sub-woofers. Assuming they share the same vertical axis, is there such thing as an ideal distance between the centre of the two drivers or...

Following the recommendations of fellow members I have decided to build a pair of Ergo IXs. On going through the "Building the Ergo E-IX mini monitor" reference thread there is a bit which I just couldn't figure out and I was wondering if someone could please enlighten me. Probably having a...

That's brilliant. I'll have 5 pcbs then and 4 "Finder" relays. If it's Ok with you perhaps you can PM me and I'll paypal you the funds by return. Thanks

Know what you mean. I keep hearing the pub calling. About the pcbs that would be great but before you do, any idea of how much it is likely to be? Cheers

No sure if anyone's interested but Maplin is currently selling a particular brand of phono-phono leads for next to nothing. Seems to extend across all lead lengths. Link below: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/twin-phono-male-to-twin-phono-male-5m-l03aj

Thanks James for the info. Good job I am not too into drum and bass though there is a couple of stunt bass albums I have which makes it difficult to resist, well, not too difficult. I am now almost sure that I will try my hands on making the Ergo IX. Thanks for all your help and...

Just wondering, if by chance, there are any more pcbs available. Looking for anywhere from 2 - 6. Thanks.

Thanks for the recommendations and thanks orangeart for the elaborate on the Ergo. Had a quick google of the PMC DB1s. It certainly has some glowing reviews even though it's somewhat pricey. Will definitely need to have an audition if I am going to go down that road. However I am leaning...

Thanks for the comments. Much appreciated. Orangeart - Was wondering whether you could kindly elaborate some more on the Ergo IX sound, in particular in relation to the qualities I mentioned in my earlier post - separation, sound stage and authority. Can't find a detailed review of these...

Would be much obliged for recommendations or sage advice on small speakers. Current setup - Linn Lp12/Troika --> Naim 72--> Naim 250 --> Ryod Sorcerer speakers, a system I hardly ever use anymore since downgrading from an active 2 x Naim 250/SBL setup for reasons of space. While the source...

Alan, thanks for the link. Think I'll file that for future reference - I remember reading on one of the B4 build threads where PigletsDad mentioned that B4 is pretty tolerant of trafo quality. Seems a shame therefore to use such a good transformer where its potential will be untapped. I do find...

Thank you all very much for your kind assistance and advice. Must say the Talema-Nuvotem looks pretty neat. Do they come supplied with the PCB for mounting? Very nice phonostage build too.

Was hunting around for a trafo to feed a generic rectifier for a B4 build and came across this - http://goo.gl/4oG17S. I was wondering if anyone has experience of this make and model and whether, in this instance, low price and quality can go hand in hand. Otherwise any recommendations? Thanks
