I'm happy to report that the Manger has been repaired and will attend if it survives the rest of the week.
If it is okay with you Chris I'd like to bring my DIY speakers, I should have them finished in time. I can bring about 80 watts for them. The box was designed by me, the crossover by JonMarsh.
Is anyone planning on bringing a powerful DIY SS amp? These things need lots of power.
They will look similar to this:

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Mwahahaha - I will try to bring some big iron but not DIY - must have headroom, right? I will not be held responsible for burnt voice coils 😉
I still have to hear back from Solen on the parts. Chris I'll let you know as soon as I can if I'm bringing anything.
Any more Tor.boys want to join us?

Looks like you'll need some preamp. I'll bring my 744-811 linestage with Super Regulators. I might even have a surprise.
I plan on being there with a fully functional Preamp, Balanced only unfortunately, I will bring a test set of DIGI01's Balanced line Convertor so we can use a SE input device if no balanced ones exist. This does mean I can only control Amps with Balanced inputs.
ETA 10:30 ish, I am still quite ill at the moment, but getting better. I am hoping for a speedy recovery. 🙂

Sounds good Dave. We'll see how much power these can take. They are pretty fun to watch. We'll find out how they sound, hopefully. I've ordered the parts already from Solen, hopefully they show up in time.
Hey as long as the parts arrive, bring them. Chris has a nice workshop. We can have a real Do it Ourselves speaker building party!!!!
Graham,
You are welcome to bring your project. If you dislike RAT SHACK solder then you'd better bring your own special brew. But you don't need to bring the iron though. Hope the parts arrive in time for our meet. I hear you! There are so many parts in that cross over! Deep slope?

Hey I remember Chris has a propane torch for soldering too!!!!!!
No COLD solder joints!
Aside RAT SHACK did used to sell some silver solder, that was not too bad or so I heard.

Chris - I can now confirm I'm coming for sure. Most likely not until noon or shortly before, hopefully that is still ok. I think it should work out, as I only have speakers to show,
I will be bringing my CSS WR125 nearfield monitors, and could bring an Adire Rava (sealed box Shiva) or one of 2 old recievers (80's Carver, 70's Yamaha) if needed.
If it's possible, I would also like to bring some speakers I am working on right now, the drivers are installed and wired in box, but they have no XO at the moment. I have been actively XOing them using the KxProject drivers. I don't know if there will be an active XO or multiple amps at the meet, but I could really use some tips/advice from those with more experience on how to proceed with the passive XO. Let me know if time/equipment constraints will allow for this.
Also could you PM or email me directions?
I have to say I'm looking forward to hearing some of the projects mentioned here, and I really hope the excel and extremis speakers make it!
