    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.
