Yes, more DIY pictures. Especially if it's home made speakers. My cabinet making skills are non-existent but I like to admire other people's efforts.

Thanks Michael for the first. That looks a very nice cabinet. Room for a centre one day maybe?

I love DIY speakers and would love to build an amp if I could find a decent kit.

My speakers from Wilmslow Audio.

Wow!

Any 'work in progress' pics? They look superb.

RE: DIY pics please

I was wrong with the £1000 but check out these KITS!! (prices rounded)

K8020 Valve Control Amplifier Kit. £325

K8040 High End MOSFET Power Amplifier Kit £275 X 2 I am pretty sure!= £550

Total £875

I have built kits since the 60's and would be confident building these but the price!

Anybody on any forum actually bought these kits and built them successfully?

If so what do they sound like?

Paul

My comment re £1000 being wrong related to a post I made which I subsequently altered one word went foe moderation and has dissappeared. I was replying to nthe guy who would like to make a decent amplifier kit and I was refering him to Quasar Electronics and their VELMAN kit range which culminates in a £700 to £800 set of kits for two power amps and one preamp. Why this had to be moderated and dissappeared I don't know!
