Its not really spending but investing in enjoyment.
Not really sure why the NX150 TBH Rich. I just did a bit of reading, spoke with Anthony who designed the amps and decided they sound like just what I'm looking for.
I've tried a good few of the kitsets now but not the UcD180 yet. I do still have a UcD700ST which I've never really gotten around to fully evaluting - mainly because I used it briefly to power a subwoofer.
Case pics anyway:

Hi Fgroen,
They're from ATI Research over in Thailand. Don't be put off by that, Arthon who is the chap that deals with the orders is absolutely spot on. I ordered these cases around 10 days ago now and already they've arrived which surprised even me. I've had 8 cases from them now always they've exceeded my expectation in both service and the quality of the product.

Yeah got rid of the SKA's bit daft really because they were one of my favourites out of the lot I've tried so far. Hindsight is great 🙄
Still waiting on the NX150's then I'll need to get round to soldering them.
Amp kits arrived and managed to build a couple up, not done any listening yet as I still need some traffo's.
System is semi functional now too:

Just realised that this is a loudspeaker DIY forum and my last few post have contained very little of that.
DIY to come shortly, promise 😀

Ant, just before you get carried away building more modules, could you tell me the spacing on those TO3 predrilled heatsinks? 😉
One of the amps is coming along nicely, taking my time, making sure everything is upto scratch layout-wise. The ATI case is a real joy to work in. I used pure silver 0.5mm core on the inputs, wrapped up in cotton then twisted and finally covered in heatshrink.
Aussieamps is coming out with an audiophile version of the NX150 with the usual higher grade components. I'm holding off really until the upgrade kit is offered for existing owners - Looks to be January/Feb time hopefully.
The photos only show two modules but eventually there will be three per side making up a six channel amp which will be ideal for tri-amping DIY 3-ways from a single unit.
Ended up covering the 4" thick treatment with the same material I used for the screen. I didn't intend to put it on the back wall as shown in the photos but the difference it made has been huge, cleaning the midrange up no end it even seems effective in the upper bass as that too has more definition. Still to do the side walls though.
BTW Merry Xmas 🙂
