Its starting

[specialidiot]

Finished stuffing #2 and glued the ports to the baffles. I'll finish it up tomorrow (I hope)

Everything's done, left is left and right is right. I had enough time to run through a few of my reference tunes, nothing unruly so far. I hope to get some time for critical listening in a couple of days.

Excellent!

It's been a while since I last heard the Big Bobs. I'm looking forward to hearing them again soon.

Hiquphon's are one of my very favorite tweeters. Simply tremendous.

In tweeter years, they're a bit long in the tooth, but there's very few out there that are better and they are all more expensive. FWIW, they're usually sold in hand matched pairs and that alone is worth a lot.

The Hiquphon was a real favorite among the Bass List guys; and for those of you that are new to audio, the old Bass List had some of the "very brightest" guys in the field as contributors. I haven't seen another forum that even comes close.

Best Regards,

Those are looking Very nice Jeff! And I`ll bet they sound great too.

OK I'm spending some quality time with Big Bob this evening. Pre is my Bottlehead Foreplay III modified with 6SN7's, Allen 60 amps all gigged up, feeding it lossless tunes from my ipod. I'm throwing all kinds of stuff at it tonight, and they are really good. I mean really really REALLY good!

Of course the other components are pretty decent too, but huh, I'm liking this setup a bunch.

I'll see your dancing banana and raise you a moonwalk.

Some day, I'll have to bribe Ray to share that crossover with me. I mean, what else will I do with all these Hiqs I have laying around?

 

[RayW]

I don't suppose "send them to Ray" is one of the options?

 

[dnewma04]

didn't the tweeters in the big bobs come from me?

In mine? Don't think so. Maybe.

 

[dnewma04]

No, in Ray's. I have a pair of OW1s in my MBOW1s, a pair of OW1s awaiting big bobs in Watt Puppy format, and a pair of OW2s for some yet to be determined project.

 

[RayW]

Yeah, the idea for OW1s in the original Big Bobs was because Newman set me up with a pair at a killer price.

got it...

mine are a matched pair that I got at a great price. But IMO are worth every penny of their retail price.
