Mike, silk and cardboard sounds very Japanese. You know I love me some Japanese audio! Feastrex are the essence of Japanese audio culture.
Thanks for the offer on the amp Shane. Then Steve doesn't have to stay late waiting for his amp back... Sure, I'll do the boxes for you. I have some birch veneer hardwood cheap plywood from Home depot on hand. It should stain or paint up nice, and hold screws well. Just send me the dimensions of the aluminum plate, including plate thickness, and the interior depth of the box from bottom of plate to floor of box. I'll be in box mode with acoustic panels soon. Do you still have your Harbeth Compact 7s? I was thinking that gear comparisons might be easier with passive speakers. If the OBs crap out we also have a backup. Thanks
