I see also the name of Steve Eddy, who is on this board.

I built something like that a year ago, but only 1+1+3 ( SW ) watt
which is enough for a room ( not critical listening, which would suppose
the phisical differentiation of the two channels)

I don't understand the discounts... if you pledge $1500 or more you get 50% off... but if you pledge $2000 or more you get %30 off???

I like the idea of the MiA project. It is something I have been saying for ages, there has to be a turning point where people will shun shoddy quality and go back to quality products. We need something like that here in Aus as well.

Good luck to those involved.

Tony.

The sooner you pledge the cheaper it is. Right now you can get a 1500 dollar pledge in...once they have all been taken. Your only option is to go for the 1700 version one. Unless you WANT to pay 2000 for it...that is.

We need something like that here in Aus as well.

You have the Holden don't you

I thought the modern Holden was a caddy catera in 70s porn start garb?

 

[wintermute]

Holden is no more (at least soon will be history). GMH is closing it's doors (as are Ford and Toyota) and there will not be any Aussie made cars any more.

Full disclosure: my involvement is advisory, not operational. And I don't get any money out of it, it's purely my desire to help Steve, who's a good friend and a remarkably honest guy (unusual in the high end audio biz).

 

[Bas Horneman]

And I don't get any money out of it

I don't think anyone will really get money out of it....except kickstarter.

 

[SY]

I hope Steve makes a killing. It's a cool concept and I like knowing rich people.

 

[marce]

Looks nice and reminds me of my first sterio, a huge cabinet with valves, record deck and tuner with speakers built in, given me by my rich aunt when they got a more modern ss hi-fi....

Hope is does well also, miss Mr Eddy's comments.

 

[Steve Eddy]

Thanks, guys! Thanks, Bas!

Wasn't aware of this until I was going through Google Analytics this morning and was looking at referrals to the Kickstarter. Saw one from diyAudio and went "Huh?"
