I don't know how many people have seen this site before, but I just stumbled upon it and it has some great project ideas complete with measurement, diagrams, instructions, and already built examples. He has downloads for just about everything, and these appear to be some high quality projects with serious construction.

    Those are sweet drivers, but the first pair has the leather treatments. :D

    I'd rather have better components than pimpin' styling. :D

    This reminds me that I need to start a build thread...speaking of, how are yours coming along?

    I gave up my speaker build for now due to funds, but I've been keeping busy with a B1 build as well as Fred is sending me a USB DAC to tinker on. (Thanks again Fred!) I'm sure as the money gets a little less tight, I'll start a full range floorstand project. Maybe these: DTQWT?

    Sorry Bill, but nothing too exciting here now. If we do a 'fest this summer, I'll bring all the stuff I've been working on and we can have show-n-tell. :D

    I contacted Jantzen today about the TM section of the DTQWT project that includes drivers and HF components, and they offer it for $880; plus another $500 for the woofers and LF components sourced from PE. It looks like a great project with a four driver three way design, 95 db sensitivity, and minimum 6 ohm resistance! Can you say very tube friendly?!?
