Pictures of your diy Pass amplifier

I tell myself they represent my "house look"

Was thinking about this last night. Of course, nothing wrong with your "house look" and it likely could prove to be an advantage: you are familiar with the builds and can get them done faster if you've attempted them before. I'm still working on a BA2018, and it's admittedly taken me almost a year because I keep dreaming up ideas that are one-off ideas I don't want to be without. So if you can whip up new builds at twice my rate (or more!) then kudos to you! 👍
 
For me, figuring out the arrangement of components in the chassis, designing the panels and building (i.e., the journey) is as engaging as enjoying the end result. I'm rarely in a rush to complete my projects. The advantages for me in reusing design elements are that I like the look and they reduce the risk that my panel designs have flaws (there have been two projects over the years where I discovered annoying design flaws after receiving panels back from Front Panel Express, which was both annoying and costly to correct). While I strive to always build something different, relying on tried and true elements gives me comfort.

That said, I'm looking forward to seeing photos of your BA2018. I suspect it's going to be something special.
