Above is for main board only. If you want to do a PSU as well, please let me know in your response. I am going to use Panasonic TSHA this time. The Nichicon's were a major point of delay and cost and while i think they are a subtl improvement, I think the TSHA, get you 90% of the way. If there is enough interest, I will post the cost of the PSU setup. To lower cost, I will be using Fukushima in the PSU this time. I like them better than Mills and they are cheaper as well, Mills begin almost triple their cost. To keep up with things, please list your name and how many of which kit you want. Example below.

Just to make sure - are the kits 100% complete with every single part needed to populate the boards?

Going for 3 F5s to power a GPA 515/299 project with distributed subs. Tried out the F5 on you Altecs?

Keep up the good work!

Cheers

Yup. Haven't got my Altec setup running yet, so no to the listening experience.

Mind posting a pic of your system?

Just about to order from GPA. Have decided on the configuration, so the hard part is now done..

Le Cleach horn of 200-350Hz, this I have not decided yet. Now playing on a set of Tannoy Monitor Gold 15" that I am looking after for a friend :-)

[buzzforb]

Try to keep names in a list format to help keep up. I really want to get 20 kits sold before I close this thing. I will order 25 as this is what the pricing is based on. It would be nice to close before Christmas and perhaps give all something to do, but we will have to see. I cannot eat it on this one, as i took a pretty good hit on the last one, therefore if not enough are sold, it is a no go.

Nice kits! I have two questions:
1) Will a bigest chassis($299 one) be enough for F5TV2?
2) Is there any photos showing how to mount these PCB's on a chassis? Those transistors look to be to far from the age, no?

Thanks!

I think that an ideal circumstance would be a mono set using two of either the largest or next to largest chassis. I can tell you that if you build a V3, there is little reason to believe that you will ever need another amp. If you get the diy virus, i cant hekp you there If you are setup, you can beat the price diying your own case, but it is a lot of work and may not look as good inthe end.

The chassis are specifically designed to accept universal mounting specs used by the store.
