Happy Easter all,
Here's a couple pics of my main system upstairs. It's a work in progress. I upgraded from JBL L-100's to DQ-20s and matched them with the Sony amp.
I bought this Sony N80 ES amp about a year ago. I got a deal on it due to it's lack of side panels. I've been meaning to build some for it and finally got around to finishing them.
It was not the easiest thing I've ever done. The process is pretty lengthy. I've got a hole new respect for fine furniture and piano finishers. (Not that my work holds a candle to theirs.) I used solid Mahogany, and oodles of lacquer, sanding and polishing.
I got the DQ-20's from fellow, local AK'r Imready and so far am very pleased with them, although I need a better preamp to really satisfy them. Right now I'm just using the pre section of my HK730. I'm lucky, Imready took very good care of them. It's nice to bring in a pair of speakers that I don't have to sand, refinish, replace grill cloth, etc. Big thanks!
I'll post some more pics later.
Hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend!
