viral projects, sort of

Just a few tweaks and it's a grand slam. My goal was to make a speaker with clear, natural midrange and I succeeded. As usual, minor adjustments brought the crossover region (2500 Hz) into focus.

They're so clear and so loud. Bass is warm with great kick drums. Acoustic jazz sounds so fine on these speakers.

When the weather warms up I will disassemble, sand, stain, varnish. Will keep them light colored. Everybody says the wood is beautiful.

This one...
Its part of akai mini system i once had complete. Included nice fm tuner, preamp and cassette deck. Deck was decent. I gave the system to a friend. Only power amp remained because of faulty switching power supply. I gave it massive toroidal trafo plus filtration, as much i could stuff inside. It sounds powerful and clean. It has three chips inside, one stereo chip for voltage swing, and two power packs i believe stk0050ii. I like the fluorescent display reading the power on output. It shows how little power we need. It has 0.1x switch, otherwise no bars would move.
This kitchen system will be fun to swap various amps to.
I tried aca mini, jlh, lineup amp, those two goldmunds so far. Plenty more to try.
