I finished the first version of my DIY speakers, Jordan JX92s fullrange-drivers in transmission line enclosures. Me like :)

The full-hd Toshiba 42Z3030D also works as my "HTPC", more accurately a ThinkPad dock behind the TV :mrgreen: A pretty quiet albeit not very powerful "HTPC".

My tube amp project is also visible, a 16W jobbie from S5 Electronics.

Im moving in a week and that's not the final setup, so don't worry :)
wow, those are nice looking speakers. How does the bass sound? 80Hz on a 2" driver is a pretty impressive claim.
Also I like your woodworking - did you build the cabs yourself? what kind of wood is that?

The JX9S2 is about a 4" driver and goes down to 45Hz in those enclosures. The JXR6 HD goes higher up but not as low as the 92. Enough bass for most music that has a lot off bass sound a bit flat without a sub. Some pop records sound horrible, not only because many rely a lot on bass but the soundstage is also just not there on many records. Almost sounds like mono. Suppose it sounds better than proper mixing on a crappy radio though..

I made the enclosures out of birch, they look nice enough and work well but theres room for improvement on the finish.

The sound of how a fact-less argument now has to hide behind the 1st amendment rather than to use facts for the argument.

But on the way home I will listen to Hans Zimmers Gladiator.

Linksys - Whining Router
It's one of my all time favorites.

So how's the weather? We just got a whopping centimeter of snow here in southern Finland. It's supposed to be winter.
