Apologies for the very late reply! The XO is DIY based on Jeff markwartz Altec 604 crossover. Just search for it on the net and you should be able to find it. The amps and preamps are based on JE Labs circuits. Again, you should be able to search the site, just type "JE Labs". The plans for the OB is also discuss on the JE Labs site. Thanks!

@keplermission I used to have an M75B II which I believe was the spherical version of the EJ. I also had a G II stylus which was basically a spherical M91E. The B II sounded better. I'm very familiar with Quad equipment, I used to sell it in the early 80's when the 63's came out. The best sound I ever heard at that time was a pair of original 57's driven by a pair of Marantz 9's. I think he also had an AR turntable with a Rabco SL-8 arm.

Absolutely love your system! I read in one of your other videos that you made the rack shelving system out of rods, bolts, washers & plywood that you bought @ Home Depot. What a great idea. It looks beautifully made with such precision. Are those rods one piece that goes through the plywood sheets? I guess you adjusted them perfectly level before tightening them in place. I think I'll try the same thing - it looks great!

I made my rack out of butcher block style desks that Staples had for sale. I just tossed the legs and drilled the tops. Assembled with Stainless Steel all thread and hardware I ordered online. The desks were about $100 apiece.. classic look for less than half the cost of buying one.

@49kasey - Garrard 301 is rim drive but it's a broadcast studio transcription standard player, near equal of a Technics Direct Drive! Rim drive is okay if it's designed properly. The other one, the Garrard 401 was also seen a lot with QUAD studio stuff. That's not quadraphonic, it's another company from England that made studio and radiogram gear. EMI speakers were used with QUAD, HMV, Radford STA-25 etc hi-End stuff. Even the basic Garrard SP 25 IV will show you how a Shure 75EJ II sounds!

Sure, on the Tweeter: 10 uF to an Lpad made up of discrete resistors with 5.6 ohms in series and 16.5 ohms in parallel to the driver. Junction of the 5.6/16.4 ohms to + of the driver. other leg of the 16.4 to "negative" of the driver, then to "negative" of the amp. On the Woofer: 0.9 mH in series to the driver.

Hey Shit, I used to have Panasonic Thrusters (one activeand one passive radiator per box ). I donated it to Salvation army so I cannot recall how they sound anymore. Your system could be sounding much better than mine, no question! Because base on your component choices, your system is where synergy is happening. Which, reminds me, you should have a name for your system. If I might suggest the one below: Shit Happens!
