Nice work on cabinet. I like woodwork too , got some german blue gear for that, I like the festool more, money paid for a hobbyist an consider this further in post.
Ok, what's wrong with seas Excel,
The prestige series imd much higher do to element motor design.
So the BB or alpha or any Nelson Pass amp can't correct this.
I looked at phone so maybe you are using diffent elements.
Different approaches can be seen here.
Danny do you use clio or pc hardware/software as you use ltspice. Just asking
A Finnish loudspeaker designer uses a good but as tech. goes orthodox method.
By the ear. Again he uses seas Excel
so he might be familiar to some extent point on crossover, although he spends months of listen and corrects the passive filter to near perfection for all types of music.
Nice way of enjoyment of a real job time in making.
I written a lot of a seas Excel I'm familiar with this, over 20years a lot a of them used by famous commercial designs,.
Sometimes I think of Jorma he had /has another approach to music reproduction.
Oldschool is dying & technology envolves.
IN The Day, diy electronics in audio was money spent at a fraction as commercial good tech. was so expensive.
Times changes and it goes around.
Dynaydio consequence Ultimate Edition. With BB if I ever win a 1000000$ or more. I ship these to a random choice of person with BB.
Happy listening times.
Alpha BB GB Status Update:
* Marcus22 and Pelayostyle, if still interested please PM me your PayPal info.
Sorry for the wait but finally having some time to prepare orders for shipping. 14 pairs or 28 boards. You can't imagine what a stack of 28 boards weighs. The via perforations really add weight I think (some of it is gold). This is unfortunately, the un-fun aspect of a GB, packing them and putting shipping labels on them is true drudgery. But someone has to do it...
Here is a stack of the 28 boards next to another fine JPS64 layout of my new DCA (Desktop Class A headphone amp). Just did power tests on that and got unclipped output of 544mW into 42ohms. More than enough to drive power hungry HE-400i planars to a loud volume beyond comfort.

Boards look beautiful X. Good to see the interest around the ALPHA BB - it's not that you come across a 52 watt Class A single ended amplifier design frequently... look forward to see some creative builds from the good folks of this forum!

Agree, that's the best part
Great Loudspeakers , my mistake looking on mobile , so the ATS4 AudioTechnology & scanspeak relevator be , should be good enough or better
. Great job did you do the cabinet yourself? Just asking
Everything Pinnocchio makes is superb looking (and I’m sure superb sounding as well). His amp builds are a real eye candy.
Here is a peek at my new speakers with satin finish over espresso brown stain on Baltic Birch ply. Color looks excellent so far.

Thanks for the compliments
I know what you mean when you say "multiple coats of satin finish". Sanding between every coat of paint takes time and patience. Looking very good those speakers of yours, love the color too! I've heard some very good things about FAST and I might give it a try eventually.

Hi Tonza,
Also thanks for the compliments
I actually build two sets of ATS-4 with my friend. We did everything ourselves and it took very long time to complete but the end result is really good sound. I don't know about changing the drivers to the ScanSpeak Revelator series would be a good thing since it would require a complete crossover redesign. I'm sure it would sound good if done right though.
Ciao!
