For Sale Open baffle kit

Things you have for sale.
Now that the BassZilla’s are back in use I’m trying to come up with a comparison of the sound quality between these and my 2 way actives. A bit daunting task as they are so very different. Sound quality from both is imho quite good. I know that doesn’t offer much but a side by side comparison is now possible albeit through my Wiim streamer. I’ve heard the DAC in the Wiim is quite good but I really don’t know enough about it. I will at some point use a different source to perhaps allow a more fair assessment. The Aurum Cantus G2 and the Sartori Be tweeter’s are both excellent but very subtly different. I have both sets of speakers running through the Wiim so that should make a comparison easier?
🤔
I’m listening early this morning which for me is an easier time to just relax into the music.

I’ve forgotten how clean the Fostex sound, very clear. Not analytical or fatiguing. Nice!
It’s been quite awhile since I’ve listened to anything passive. I keep wanting to tweak the filters…..
Please realize my comparisons will be subjective and so should be taken with a grain 🤨

I bought the kit and want to put in a good word for Jcris. I bought everything aside from the bottom cabinet (shipping them would have been horrendous).

Jcris put a good amount of effort into the packaging and shipping of all the components and the baffles and it really showed... The boxes could have been dropped off a cliff and would have survived.

The baffles are really well made and all of the drivers look brand new just as he had mentioned in this thread.

Thanks Jcris for the great kit! I am excited to get the bottom cabinet built and start listening to these things!
 
Hey Mike,
You were a pleasure to work with, very patient. Must have taken me 2 weeks to get these packed up. I tend to over do the packing as you have noticed. Sure glad the “cliff test” wasn’t involved 🤣
Looking forward to your progress
