    Moving right along. Added an Abbot build as well for the SRS. Definitely maxing out the shelf!

    The connector mount is a prototype print

    Nice stuff Mate.Thanks for making my dream come true....They look pretty beefy."I want it now mommy " ,What will each one weigh?

    Any better mods in the future will have to be called the "Holy Grail" lol

    The only thing i need now is Toolfan66 to start production on his rings and all will be complete!

    Dynamat extreme,blackhole 5, jb weld the magnets , thick melletone grill covers have all been done including the replacement of the timber with a Western Australian hard wood "Jarrah" ..The touch from down under : )

    People that have listened to my old SDA SRS (purchased from original owner on consignment at Hifi disposals in Adelaide South Australia 1996) are really blown away and i am pretty excited about hearing these upgrades before my ears blow out.I have virtually sound proof everything in my theatre room(20ft x 16ft) to gain all the micro dynamics .

    Thank you Trey and Thank you Polk club members,I really enjoy reading through all these archives.
    cheers

    @VR3,

    I'm happy those that you are still posting.

    And, not that it needs my verification, but at about 300 hours the Clarity Cap MRs and Duelunds really take on a whole new level of beauty - in the rendering of music that is!

    It is nothing short of astonishing!

    I always have enjoyed posting, this forum has alot less traffic than it use to so it is a little harder to find threads of interest
