My second visit! I think for me the one point of interest is the 'infinite baffle' design for your speakers. This idea goes way back to the 50's, (I was a toddler then), for home audio installations. It's been awhile since I'd seen this type of design employed. I may have to revisit this technique in the future for myself. Great system, Cheers!

Merci for the trip! Im the ex Oracle audio head designer in Québec Canada. Your system look to be created for the pleasure of living (music too). I'm now tuning my mane momoral system, created in 1960 by the Phillips head engener himself. He said ''Dont make the mistake to go for the Stereo before lestening this awesome 3 way ambiophonic monoral.'' Stereo and more.. are less. Salut

Thanks! The drivers are on OB's(Open baffle). At present arrangement, the drivers are 5 1/2 feet away from the front wall, about 4 feet away from the side wall and about 8 to 9 feet apart. bass is fine and is louder as you move the drivers closer to the front wall.

As I recall, when I bought the rods, there was no oil on them at all. Isoprophyl alcohol cleans oil easily, if not Acetone. Another good thing to use is the "engine degreaser" for cars in aerosol cans. Then finish it off with soap and water, rinsing with water for the final clean up. regards

Yes sir! I had the opportunity to listen to a Diva, and a Duetta before. I used to have planar and electrostatic speakers (Magnepans and Martin Logans). Naturally, I had the interest to listen to Apogees. But, as audio is a very personal hobby in terms of gear choices, I did not think that the Apogees will work for me. Your English is perfectly fine. regards

Hello, Bass is superb and it all depends on the XO, gear you are using, and the distance of the OB to the front wall. If I understood your comment corrctly, the distance to the floor is part of the design of the OB dimensions. regards, Abe

@gnativerson : Bass is from Major Holey Jr. Sir. If what you meant by "70" is ST 70, yes, the OB runs fine with it but low freq are more emphasize, IMO, an SET amp sound much balance across the board than the ST 70 in my set up.

I am using two types of XO. One, seen on the video, is the Jeff markwart type for 604. The other is homebrew from my friends design who has the 604-8G for 25 years now. As for amps, I found in my set up, that the 45 and 2A3 type of amps brings out the sound I really like. I also own a 300B amp. I have the Orion plus from Linkwitz Labs. So, I am already an OB person for a long long time. Thank you very much for the kind words!

On this particular clip, I am using Cinemag CMQE-3440A. You can buy the transformer directly and do the wiring and build the case yourself. Just look for 'cinemag" on your search engine. I have Altec 4722 and Tribute also. The Tribute at 1:10 is okay but I think the DL103 at 0.4mV needs at least 1:18 gain ratio.

Cabinet resonance or standing waves are eliminated for one!I use Denon 103 series exclusively in stock form or with wooden shells. The only other cartridges i tried were Benz(Glider and Ace),Shelter (501, and 901) and Koetsu Rosewood.I sold all of them and settled on the Denon.I would suggest that if funds permit, try to get a Thorens (125, or 160 or better yet, a 124 or Garrard 301/401) turntable. They are really special! You can get a Lenco,Rek-o-Kut, or a Technics 1200 too as an alternative.

Thanks for the comment! As it is DIY, I have no instructions on construction and assembly of the rack. Made up of Birch Plywood(3/4" per layer) drilled for 5/8" threaded metal rods that can be bought from hardware stores,the center is about 2" perpendicular to the two sides of the corners. After that, 2 " diameter washers to "sandwich" the wood for support. Both top and bottom layer doubled in thickness, and plywood sanded, stained then clear coated (See my comments to Scott Enoch).

It seem's that you have already gone down the path I find myself on now. I am currently in the high power/modified Maggie camp, however I think I am ruined for small power high efficency now that I have heard a friends set-up. I am not ready to sell off the Pass labs/Magnepan set-up as of yet, but I am ready to start down the other road now. I already have a pair of Great Plains 604 8H Mk 3's and a highly modded Lenco L75 table. Where do I find JE labs? I guess your video was too inspiring!
