Glad I caught up on this thread because it expands on answers to questions I've had about throwing down for Alpair 7 when CHR will perform in my SS
gear (t-amp or receiver.)
So what would a BIB look like for the CHR 70? I mean in performance. I have a retrofit of a BIB for FE17e in mind to get things going with Mark Audio.
I have had no problems driving my CHR 70s with a Pioneer, Yamaha and JVC receivers. The RCA was a little disappointing - it was the cheapest of the lot though, so it wasn't unexpected. Bad recordings on the other-hand come through too well 
. I'll have to pay better attention to the music I acquire from here on out. Every time I turn them on I'm amazed. How such sound come out of those things I don't really understand, but I really like it. Perhaps they would sound even better with a better amplifier, but I'll bet my ears aren't trained well enough to hear it, yet. I think after you listen to something like this for a while it is easier to distinguish the subtleties in the sound coming out. People write that the other speakers are even better and I marvel as to how that could be possible. My gosh, I'm not looking back from here - I'm just happy I jumped into this hobby while my ears are young enough to enjoy it. I might just yet jump up another level when I'm able. If your hesitating about trying something like this - stop now and dive in . It's worth it.

Myself; I get the most satisfaction from a great price performance ratio & really believe in the point of diminishing returns, so if it makes you grin, every thing else is just experimentation
That said, I just ordered a set of CHR-70's with the El-70's to follow shortly.
I've been building for years bu thave stayed in the Fostex camp all that time. With the BIB calculator I can see roughly if the BIB for the FE127e Fostex can house the CHR-70.
The cutout space will not be problem because the CHR-70 is not very deep. But the
line length of the BIB will tell if the box I have is a good match.
There is an extensive memorial thread on the BIB and so I should direct my questions there-- and get the thread refreshed as well.

may be another variant
Hi everybody,
I really like the microtower, castle version, style.
I just played with Martin Kings sheets and think, that a ML tqwt should work also very well.
What do you think about a tqwt castle version:
L: 56 (may be even less, down to 52)
Position: 0,47 (upfireing 0,5 and frontfireing 0,45)
S0: 1,0
SL: 3,4
Port R: 1,37 (7cm)
Port Len: 3
I am not shure if this will work better or worse than the original microtower, but low frequency augmentation seems to be a bit more, the sims look promising.
would like to read your recommendations.

Is that the Blue Planet design? I built it for my son, using the CHP-70, and was very pleased with the result.
The other approach to getting more out of these, is to add bass helpers. I've started on a project with an Alpair7eN & 4 SDX7 per side. Once sorted, i'd expect that if you could find this in a retail store from an established manufacturer, it would cost 15-40k and be VERY competitive. That tells you how good i think the A7 is. (and one could extrapolate that to an A12 with 4 SDX10 or custom AE 10s, in the 30-80k range

Just out of curiosity Dave, where do you intend to cross the A7 over to the SDX7s?
