Nice (if fluffy) piece on an interesting maker: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-05-23/how-to-make-a-speaker

The crossovers look ... Interesting. No relationship, etc. https://fredericksburg.craigslist.org/ele/6051673507.html

There's plenty of commentary on AK about replacing the ferrofluid in the Kef 104/2 tweeter, so I just wanted to remind folks who haven't yet serviced the tweeters with new fluid that it might be the best investment of $10 and a few hours they could possible make. I picked up my first 104/2s...

When they're listed on CL as "Furniture". Not a huge score @ $200, but from very nice people who have owned and babied them since new. First series, so no biamping (which I don't do anyway), but with butyl woofer surrounds so they just need the donuts replaced, and I'll do the ferrofluid then...

Don't see too much DIY car audio here, but thought it might be interesting. I've got a great car that I love, which came with a nicely installed mid-90s stereo including an ADS power plate and ADS speakers. The head unit has gotten long in the tooth, caused battery draining, and anymore, all...

Bill is exactly the kind of person you want to deal with here at AK: friendly, enthusiastic, an excellent communicator and does exactly what he says he will do. Two thumbs up :banana:

Got to the integration-test part of my current project and couldn't resist posting a pic even though it's not finished. Over the last couple of years, Ak's helped me to completely rework the system I bought in 1988. Good bones to work with: the B&W Matrix 2s, Adcom GFA-555 amp, and Denon...

Idly shopping Craigslist two weeks ago and came across a listing that I must have missed for an Adcom GFA-535 amplifier. These are really nice little gems, and I thought it would go well with one of the Pass B-1s I've built, but surely it was gone. No, turns out it was still available, and the...

I was helping my folks clean the attic this weekend, lots of stuff from when my Dad ran a speech-recognition technology company in the early 90s. We opened a fun box: Top to botton: Sennheiser MD 441, Nakamichi CM-700, Sennheiser MD 429, Sennheiser 214N, all have cases and docs. The...

Visiting the folks at Christmas and was talking audio with my dad. He's always had champagne tastes and a beer budget, so I learned a lot about the 80/20 rule. In the 70s he built a SS Dynaco integrated amp which ran a set of Sansui 4 ways that my uncle brought back from the Okinawa PX. I think...

I've read through the various refoaming threads and searched, without success, so would like to ask: is anyone experienced with refoaming the B&W Matrix 1 and 2 drivers? The surround attachment looks pretty straightforward, fixed to the front of the cone, but the poly cones appear to be...

And it's all your fault here. All I wanted was some decent sound in the home office now that I'm working for myself. I've got the Adcom + B&W setup I bought new in 1988 downstairs so figured a cheap receiver and bookshelf speakers would do for upstairs; hit Craigslist. Turns out there's a...
