I wanted to do it like Steve for the trial, but I couldn't. The alloy is the base of a Hammond chassis cut in half lengthways. Just like our resident womble (DTB) I use whatever is to hand, or can be salvaged from past projects.

Hmm, well I appreciate Philip is doing initial experiments but shirley that's not a good way to mount these units? Wouldn't something more rigid be preferable to cut out resonance/vibration etc?

How are the experiments going?

Are the piezos so crap that you don't want to tell anyone? :)

I thought my computer speakers were pretty good, but today I am trying the mini monitors with the computer. WOW !! :D

They are a bit big for computer speakers BUT, when they sound this good who cares ?

At the moment the enabled 126's are in use (full range) as they have yet to loosen up fully and equal what the "blues" do.

So we have Windows media player - Foundation Audio Research valve pre - 832a PP valve amp - mini monitors and now playing the St Petersburg male voice choir a'capella ------ Magic. :wink:

Yes, but only with Daves blues and in conjunction with the bass bins. (at Owston)
