Gumby gets new clothes :-)

and a full complement of P11WH :-))

Me very happy !!

Should shortly have a Rod Elliott 2-way stereo x-o at about 100 Hz to do the work between array and bass unit.

Difficult to get a good pic of all of him and retain corect colour (more learnin' needed re camera)

The image linked below is closer and gives the correct colour !

Sorry about the size of the files, but gotta show off his fine livery !!!

That finish is spectacular!

Do they sound as good as they look?

The array sections are driven by a pair of Dynaco MkIV rebuilt with regulated power etc etc with Sovtec 6550 tubes. Bass is active driven buy a 80wrms a side Marantz. Preamp is Bryston 1B, Tascam CD-401. Thorens turntable..

Yep they sound pretty darn good !!
