I am sure I edited that typo to tweaking 😆

A ported designed speaker with a single tuned frequency IS a Helmholtz resonator it is just an inline Helmholtz resonator and the noise transfers out at the tuned frequency through the port, that is loaded by the floor. The box internal volume, the pipe diameter and pipe length will tell you...

Interesting thread. I have Naim IBLs with the doped edge. I was looking for the impedance curve of the Mordaunt Short drive unit.. as I was looking at making a new 1st order crossover for them as a project.. Especially as the tweeters FS is 650 Hz 🤔 I also have a few monacor drive units but...

These may be worth a listen if close enough and in budget to see them... I followed a few of his builds and its a larger stand mount speaker..

I bid 99p on eBay assuming you had reserve as it keeps the BIN price live :/ it seems to be live and NR auction I am sure you'll get some interest... Good luck with the auction. Can you have two turntables plugged in at the same time? it has two phono mm and mc as that is a unique selling point...

...just too dam old maybe?

Rotel RA931 I have a Rotel RA971 available if anyone is interested :)

I just picked up a speaker I thought may be interesting. However one mid-bass is no more and to get the speakers up and running I need a.. Focal 7.N501 MidBass which seems to be quite a rare driver based on lack of eBay results. Any thoughts how likely I am to be able to actually source this...

Interesting.. There is also the mono block option and then the discrete op amp swaps. I know that more than doubles the cost.. but 🤔 Here is the video: I know it's using YouTube compression etc but still this guy is comparing it to a Supernait 3. For me 4x ZA3s in mono may be way to get my...

I still have my IBLs and a snaxo24. The IBLs are powered by a SP1 XPAC2 SAM40 currently. If funds allow at some point I'd like to get them active again maybe with a pair of sealed subs. I suspect that is the closest I'll get to DBLs 😁 I certainly preferred my IBLs to my SBLs when I had both...

I have LS50 blacks too. Mk1's got boxed for £400 :) when the Meta madness happened and the owner upgraded.

I have KEF LS50s mk1 Blacks in a close nearfield system ~0.7m to my ears on my desk either driven with a modified Rotel 820 AX or a serviced Musical Fidelity A1. Sounds a lot better than the £6-800 I spent on the parts.. I have a spare serviced MF A1 side vented which at lower volumes may be a...

I have a serviced Musical Fidelity A1 (with side vents) and the higher temperature capacitors > £250 and you have some budget left :) Or a Rotel RA971 for £100 but you'd need an external phono stage for this as it has not got one.. budget available.. Or buy both and use the MF phono stage into...

Just seen this on ebay America.. may be useful for those ES14 owners with tweeter issues.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/125945208107?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338728743&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1

I use my Amptastic mini-1 as my FIR sauna system driving B&W DM302 B&W PRISM speakers which are placed like big headphones less than a 30cm from each ear on a shelf either side. More than enough watts for nearfield.
