Mar-Kel70 in Sweden

Streets Of London by CM Carlsson on Spotify

Playing it out loud and the Mar-Kel70 fills the whole room with the music. Sounds really really good!

Speaker plans are set on ice for the moment. Saving money for travelling instead. Spain two weeks in august. Slovenia in april. Germany, Czech Republic and South Africa in june/july next year. And if i still have money left i'll go to Shetland islands in the winter after that for Up Helly Aa 😀


Niklas - if you've got the travel bug, definitely enjoy it while you're young - the audio will still be here when / if you resume

Spain in August could be a bit warm - you also might want to try Greece / southern Adriatic coast of Italy.

Yes. When I have finished school i will hopefully work with something that has to do with audio 🙂

I know that Spain will be warm in August. But I think it will be fine. The last time I visited Greece we had 40c in the shade and I survived that one 🙂

The other destinations will be for meeting friends, not really holidays 🙂 Will be travelling with some americans and hopefully some more ppl with join us down to South Africa 🙂
 
zman01, you asked how my build went. Well, it hasn't, I am still working on the braces, my tools got mad and fought back so I have given them some time to think over the actions before I play with them again.

Maybe I will have them done by the end of July, I sure hope so. I am really slow in actually getting these done, but maybe by the end of July.
 
Lerg,

It took me a lot of time to put the Super Pensils together... and the holey braces are pretty intimidating.

Once you're done let us know how they play. Recently, I built a pair of CHR-Ken's - they really rock for the cabinet size, and specially for the cone size of the CHR-70.
 
Niklas,

See, there are some things that teens/young folks can do more easily than us "adults" e.g. take off to see parts of the world in the summer 😀

You have fun!


My daughter (29) lives and works in Bermuda -certainly at a higher standard of living (cost and income) than her folks at that age. Both her and 2 years younger brother have already managed more extensive globe-trotting than Sue & I have in 40yrs together. Right now she's doing Barcelona, Granada, etc. Just this morning we got an e-mail (pictures to follow) where she visited the castle of Charles V at Alhambra - having watched a particular concert video and listened to the audio CD countless times, it feels like I'm with her in spirit.

enjoy, and take care
 
Sounds like a no brainer. An extra 50w amp never hurts.

A broken phono... not much that usually breaks in those. Most likely a selector switch or RCA input.

Just found an Onkyo A-8027 with a broken phono-input for sale for $19. I think i'll buy it. If more stuff is broken than just the phono-input i could atleast maybe salvage some stuff from it for future builds 🙂

Lucky young man! Bi-amping beckons Niklas...

However the CHR-Kens are putting on such a nice performance for most (not all) stuff, sometimes it feels that big cabinets are really not required 😀

It's not 100% sure that i'll buy it, but hopefully. It depends on if the seller hasn't sold it before friday. My uncle is going to pick it up so...

And how would i bi-amp my EL70? 😉
