Re: Hi from Chicago

Yeah, I am actually considering the Mini Beast but it won't work with my speakers. That set me off on a search for high efficiency, full range, single driver, DIY speakers. Searches have a way of expanding...there's a lot of stuff out there...and because I can't hear most of it I read these forums ...

Re: New Transcendent pre-amp

Hi, checking in on this thread to see if anyone has built Rozenblit' Transcendent Sound, the Slider preamp?
