thank for joining in , guys !!!
Winner? Do you get a paper hat with that?
I think Salas deserves a runner up prize for his admirable self respect and restraint through this trying period not to mention correctly guessing the manufacturer.

Good to have a laugh now and then.
Laugh? Did I tell you about the time I set fire to half my arm after smoking at the same time as cleaning out the spray gun in a small tub full of thinners?

at least a kg of the best baklava
Ummmm..baklava. I'll take that over the speakers (too small for me).
Salas , you are the winner . Come to Ýstanbul , first Seabass on Grill with raki , then baklava with Turkish coffee (By the way everyone is invited!)
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
arrggh, missed all the fun! Woulda been one of 'those times' where it can be exciting on the net.
sounds like you're stoked, excellent, it is what it's all about in the end.
Will have to pop in Andy whenever I'm in N/castle, don't get there often but if I do I'd love to meet.

I want to visit once, its near! I will listen to your system too! Is that the Vosporous straights in the pic? Istanbul meaning to THE city??
Saltuk I recommend this film...
My daughter, who has spent quite a lot of time in Greece, recommended A Touch of Spice to me and loaned me the DVD - it was great. I second the recommendation.

no trev, I don't . But yeah, if they can at least compete in the magico ball park, for that price, it would be foolish to ignore them.
Sooo, have we been able to come to a conclusion whether DIYers can compete with the hidden knowledge available to the skilled technicians of some of the boutique high end manufacturers?

If you read this page you will see Danny's name listed. He has often frequented the forums in the past. I was only exchanging emails with him this morning. Even Joe and Siegfried Linkwitz have been known to drop in to Mad or PE board in the not too distant past. The likes of Danny, Jim Salk, Rick Craig and several others who could now be considered reasonably high end commercial all still visit forums occasionally and came up through the DIY ranks.
The big boys may have access to easier and faster and cheaper ways of doing speakers by mass production, and some can do stuff with aluminium that can only be done on BIG machines which it would be VERY difficult for DIY to do. But all in all, there is really very little difference in the knowledge base, just the power and funding to implement it.
Basic designs such as the Usher, Mini etc, really would not provide a problem for a competent woodworker, and the 2-way x-os would not be a problem for a competent x-o designer.

Salas I know the actress but not in person, my friend is "Mustafa" in the film, the goddess is Basak koklukaya.
No problem with film posters and messed up names under faces. We DIY, so we can clone her, or we can tweak him to be her!
