  1. I've had it for maybe 10 years too but it's from concerts, playing in bands, being in car audio/home audio/video for 30 years, headphones, etc...at least I'm told. I lost 50 lbs and it wasn't any better. Gained 40 of it back from marital stress but its still the same. Some days it's louder than others...but always there. It won't go away now.

  2. If cassettes are hip then I lost being hip about 25 years ago. I don't miss that format a bit. Yeah, they could sound good but...I lost interest. Donated all mine years ago. Even the Denon and Maxell tapes that were dang good for their time are all gone except for the ones my best friend kept that were made years ago on the Nak and Denton decks at the audio store I worked at.

  3. The gear I use on a daily basis has been completely gone through and updated where needed. Mainly it's my Carver gear in the living room, the two old console tube amplifiers, and Soundcraftsmen DX4200 preamp and A5002 amp at my buddy's house. The Carver C-1 is an amazing older preamp with tons of documented research and updates of which mine has had done both by me and one of the Carver forum members that live in Maine. All the resistors in the audio path are 1% rated, most all caps and new IC's, all new RCA's, and wven remote volume control.

    Also my M-1.0t has been rebuilt to a "MkII Opt 002" status which brought its power from 200wpc to 460 and sounds amazing. The two reside in my main system on the CF-3's.

  4. Thaaaaattt's the other thread I was trying to find and bookmark.  Thanks for chiming in on this!  

     

    Still deliberating on what to do on top half.   Two way is still the simplest for the crossover as I could go either passive single or bi-amp or go active and bi-amp.  The beauty is that it could change along the way and be switched out by separating the top and bottom piece of the "top hat" and changing the side pieces and grill to go to something else.  Not at that point yet, though.  Main cabinets first, then decide on top.  

     

    Thanks again for the info and link.

  5. I've got most everything graphed out in Excel for the cut pieces but I have a few questions about a couple of pieces.  On the top section, what is the length on the side section (circled in red) in the pictures?  I know it's 8-1/2" tall but what about depth?  Are there any more concrete dimensions on the top section?  I thought I'd found them all.

    Also, on the back wall of the cabinet where the woofer fires through the 13" x 3" opening, there are 2 pieces that resemble a wide "V" shape for directing low frequencies to the corners.  Are there any measurements for these out there plus the angles on both ends?  I circled them in green in the last picture.
