Vriendelijke groeten uit Eindhoven

[Peter69]

Hi all,

Mij name is Peter and I live in Helmond near Eindhoven, the Netherlands. At home I'm running Sphinx amplifiers on home made loudspeakers. I really like the Sphinx Project 14 power-amp, you can really feel the current going through the MOSFET's
After some time I'm picking up on the hobby again, and just found this forum! Which seems a great treasure of audio/technical know-how. Looking forward to build on some idea's in the coming period.

Greetings!
Peter

Can a mod please change the title of this thread to 'Vriendelijke..." .
Als het dan toch in het Nederlands moet, dan ook maar meteen goed

Welkom Peter!

Welcome to the forums Peter69.

To Shaun and janneman, please remember this is an English speaking forum so if you wish to post in another language, remember to include the translation as well. Thank you.

Thanks guys for the welcome!

I was a bit suprised when I found out that I could not change my own topic, after seeing the typo in "Vriendelijke..." But hey, at least it was understood, even in Vaals

At the moment I'm having rather simple speakers. These are floorstanding d'appolito config. It's a closed cabinet of only 7.5 litres. That's because their triangle shaped, standing on the summit. yeah, I know impossible to understand... I'll make a picture of them this weekend. (You know... pictures... 1000 words... those kinds of things )

At least they sound very nice, very good positioning and neutral over the spectrum. Because of the small size I do run them with a sub... but I really need something new.
Thinking about a decent TL, but still looking for a good design. So if you have any good proposals...

Vriendelijke groeten,
Peter

Apologies. I just got so excited that I could understand the Dutch subject line.

That was Afrikaans for: Welcome to DIYaudio. You will enjoy (your time) here. Please tell us a bit about your home-built loudspeakers.

Thank you Shaun.

Is that slang for Afrikaans? (Sorry if that went over my head! )

The revised Thor seems a nice TL (search Short Thor, Fat Thor, etc.)

Vaals is very close to where I live, in the NL south. We pride ourselves to have the Netherlands' highest mountain. All of 392 meters. That's over a kilo-foot!

Vaals.... Cape town... what's the difference :-)

Here a picture from my low-volume beauty. It's 80cm high, 16cm wide and 20cm deep (what's that in kilofeet? )
