Dreamaster,

Thanks for stopping by!! Good to see you here!

Right now I have a pair of ACI Sapphires at home, and should be getting a pair of GR Research A/V-2's today. I really get a kick out of hearing good stuff.

How are your DIY efforts coming along?

Tee hee... thanks for asking. :)

Believe it or not I'm still not finished. I had a
guy build me some cabinets so that they will go from looking
like this:

to this:

I'm very excited to be getting those shipped to me next week!

Also, I was having a problem getting enough bass, and my Aiwa subwoofer is nasty and I was thinking "Why not just build one of those too?"

So partsexpress.com had a 15" sub driver for sale for $75.00 and I couldn't pass up the chance to at least try. I got with a buddy who has a table saw and $200 and several hours later I had this beast:

It's got real extension down to 20Hz, but most importantly it plays more than one note. :) I need to sand it down and veneer or something but my wife says "I'm just gonna throw a table cloth over it and use it as an end table."

It's been real fun that's for sure!

That's the guy who built those cabinets webpage. It takes him a month to make a pair of cabinets but it might be worth the wait!

I'm still thinking late February to do the "temporary speaker trade" Curtis. Gotta get them finished first though. :)

Cool!

I have an extra CBM-170 right now....my old center channel. Maybe by February I will get another one to complete the set for my bedroom and send you that pair to check out.
