I have had most of my equipment for several years. Bought the Mesa new. Just bought the Scoutmaster from a great seller on Audiogon. I know my pieces don't match up so good, but the sound is pretty magical......sometimes. One thing is for sure. I will build another speaker. It is the most frustrating thing I know of, and the most rewarding thing. The real trick seems to be getting everything to sound reasonably good on "all" recordings, and then really good on the music I really appreciate. I have an idea for a speaker that will produce better, tighter bass, but this black speaker with Scanspeak Revelator Tweeter, Scanspeak carbon fiber midrange, and Eton woofer, is the best I have done, in 15 years of trying. (This look with crossovers all over the floor is normal....and yes....my friends do laugh at me.)
Those speakers are absolutely gorgeous. Never would've guessed they were DIY. It's been a while since your last update, have you covered the walls yet?
