| Last Update: December 11, 2006 at 10:03:21 | IP Address: 80.47.87.23 |
| Amplifier: | Bose control unit: Lifestyle 1. Cambridge Audio integrated amp. |
| Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | None. |
| Speakers: | DIY single-driver backloaded horns (using Fostex 106FE, and Fostex-recommended horn). |
| Sources: | |
| CD Player/DAC: | The Bose unit! |
| Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |
| Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | Lamp cord, ratshack ICs. |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Radio 3 and 4, jazz, music for sex, music for going to sleep. |
| System Goals/Comments: | An exercise into putting the money into the speakers, everything was driven by non-sonic considerations. The aim was to be cheap, unobtrusive, with a reliable remote. Since I built the speakers, not so unobtrusive. For the bedroom. |
| System Strengths: | Very nice radio-controlled (not infrared) remote control, and the speakers are astonishing for the price (£230 to build). |
| System Weaknesses: | The Bose cdp is awful. If you want to hear the worst of CD, connect a cdp like this to some very transparent speakers like these: ouch! I need a good cdp that can drive long cables, with a volume control and a very good remote. |
| Video/HT System: None | |
