First listen with the Alpair 12's is very positive.

Is that a preamp (with blue light) in the pic below? Is that a westend case as well? What's inside?

I've thought about tackling a flat-pack/full-range project from Planet10 (I lack woodworking skills) and was wondering if these little amps would work. It's only 5-6W, but do they work well with that combo? Do you feel you have to max out the amps to get decent sound?
 
That is a Westend production of a B1 buffer with a shunt regulated power supply and a Goldpoint attenuator. Sounds very nice. Copper inside with compartments for each piece. The man is the wizard of creativity.

I'm going to haul in a few different fullrange builds in the next few days, I'll let you know my findings then. My guess is a pair of Frugal horns and these amps would be nice though.

The Planet10 Frugal Horns are "very" nice.

I suppose that I've heard most of them (and their variations) at one time or another. This last summer Dave (Planet10) had 45 different pairs of his speakers for us to listen to. A lot of other people brought their speakers and other stuff as well. The Seattle contingent brough a pair of three way speakers and, IIRC, 3 (or 4?) tube amps and an experimental line stage (naturally, they were all DIY).

Heatsink grease applied on Mosfets and soldered them on board as my board is single sided.

Don't suppose you have nudies of that preamp? I loves me some nudies. I agree on Westend, it's why I begged him to make my ACA cases. :yes:
 
Sachin, did you print those boards for yourself? I want to build this kit after hearing ejfud's but the kits are sold out at DIY.

Does anyone know of an alternative source for the boards?

EDIT - after posting this I realized Sachin and I exchanged PMs about this a few months ago... Sachin, I sent you another PM
