That ugly box below the vu meters is my c5200/a1943 buffer. Decided to put it in the box, since it sounds wonderful. Its only one pair of outputs only biased moderately based on small heatsink, but i decided to finish it for now. I am building next generation with three pairs of c5200/a1943, each pair biased at 0.5A, driven by another pair of c5200/a1943. Waiting for heatsink.

Good to know. Exploring buffers and low gain amps at the moment and thought about the cool/hot follower from Andrea Ciuffoli.
Decided for Nelson´s simple follower as a start though which I still haven´t fired up (active setup, amp is for compression driver).
Made a couple layouts for these amps but will eventually just stick with P2P wiring as it is simple enough to do.
Beautiful thread with many cool projects BTW! A joy to read and watch. Blog-style!
With a preamp I suppose? Which one?
I saw you using those old philips mid-range speakers in a early thread. I used them years ago they blew up. I replaced with morel mtm55 and they solved my problems. They get crossovered at 700Hz, with a 15” in a sealed box and a morel tweeter at 3k
I do not listen too loud. Philips were much cheaper than morel. I usually cross mid domes at 900Hz. Perhaps 700Hz would load them too much.
But as long as it works for you and you like the sound, that's all that matters.
Cheers.

Good projects, adason.
Where did you get those blue boxes? They look great with the white trim—did you print those?
