    That has to be the most challenging build with the wiring. Another work of art to restore classic amazing speakers!

    Thanks guys!

    Definite challenges to integrate bypass caps and the heat sink while keeping everything tidy. I realized real quick I was going to have to create my own heat sink.

    This build also maxed out my laser cutter, only a bit to spare on the height.

    Very challenging build that took about 6 months from start to finish. 😊

    I forgot the sda inductors in the pics I'll have to take a few more pics later today!

    I'm pretty sure he's a member but doesn't actively post.

    This will be his third build, he will be going from an already top level build to this one. Installing it this weekend in south Carolina!

    It’s beyond cool that people are doing this kind of stuff to these speakers. Matthew Polk has to be quite proud!
