Set up the Triangle Borea BR03 bookshelf speakers yesterday but I didn't get a chance to snap a picture until today (It's always "pics or it didn't happen" with you lot). I got the walnut finish and it looks really nice.

Look nice! Is that some sort of wave guide or diffuser on the tweet? -
I was listening to "Good to Go Go" when I wrote that. These excel with unplugged instruments and vocals. Piano is especially addictive. They put one hell of a tweeter in these. -

How do you like them compared to all the Dyn's you've had?afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

halo and deronb1 - can we get separate reviews on those Dyns and Triangles?
deronb1 - never heard the SE tweeter, do you know what model was used for the upgrade? -
I think the tweeter was from the Contour 1.8. They also used the midwoofers from another Contour model. Reworked the xovers of course. I need to spend some more time with them to give a solid impression.

Look nice! Is that some sort of wave guide or diffuser on the tweet?
Thanks! Good eye! Yes, it is meant to diffuse the sound coming out of the soft dome tweeter.
How do you like them compared to all the Dyn's you've had?
Josh, too early to tell. The sound on these keeps changing (out of the box they were not-so-hot). Day 2, and they are opening up quite a bit. Bass response is ridiculous for a speaker this size. Soundstage is huge. Price is nice.
I've been comparing several bookshelf speakers since the L200's left my apartment and I'll be putting my thoughts together for a more formal writeup.halo and deronb1 - can we get separate reviews on those Dyns and Triangles?
Like I said above, I'll be putting my thoughts down on paper once I've done a little more work and given the Triangle's a little time to "mature."

Sounds like a great way to start the day! What kind of coffee? -

How is that coffee? It seems to cost more than most of the other brands but the name kept me from trying it. -

It's a good strong brew for everyday consumption. -

Building the cat proof SDA SRS exoskeleton enclosure covers inspired me to build a new subwoofer. I used the HSU Research VTF-3 250W plate amp and their 12" driver purchased from Parts Express and cloned the cabinet out of the same materials and to the same quality and dimensions as the original VTF-3 that I own. I maintained the Polk SRS styling queues in the home made "Polk Sub". It sounds EXACTLY like the VTF-3. Sorry, I don't now why the pics don't post in the order I loaded them.

^^^^Dang man, you have an extremely good skill set. Now, get busy and build another one to make a pair
SDA SRS 3.1TL's/SDA CRS+4.1TL's and some other stuff -
Mike, I did build another one before this one to use with the original VTF-3 for a pair of them in the basement garage/shop where I do the work. The problem is, Parts Express sold out of the HSU amps and speaker. They were a factory buyout, limited quantity sale.

Top notch work. Very nice.

Changed out the tonearm wire and RCA cables in my 1200 Mk5 to the Cardas from KAB. I really wish there was another inch to work with but just had to go slow. Not a huge deal as dealing with these tiny wires requires slow going anyway.
The RCA's were already attached to the board, but had to add the tonearm wires.
Not much room to work with but manageable.
I used this #1 phillips bit and was large enough to use fingers to remove the screws from headshell mount as I left the tonearm installed.
