    LP's vocals are hidden behind music on Stereo

    1st guess, check your speaker cable polarities... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The pics look rather nice, but are not real. Just some photoshopped grey on older pics to aid the final choice of colour. Sorry if it was misleading. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Open baffles - my introduction and the R909?s.

    The wait is agonising, so I?m amusing myself with some digital painting. I?m sure to really appreciate them once back. This last week or so without the music room is not good for my soul. [emoji20] It will be interesting to see how close the real thing is... but I expect a whole lot...

    Your Absolute Dream Car

    I?m in agreement with just about all posted so far, lovely machines. For sake of adding something different, I have a thing for hunkered down vintage Germans from yesteryear. One day it?s going to happen...I?m going to have a go at a build. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How would you improve my (underpowered) AV System?

    One can either dedicate the front channels of the AVR (avr dependent) to no amplified, or simply with a Y-splitter. I went the Y-splitter route due to having to drive 11 channel, so all output channels used. It?s definitely worth the effort in my opinion. On AVR bi-amping, I agree it to be a...

    How would you improve my (underpowered) AV System?

    Okay - lets deliberate your statement a little, keeping it in the realm of simple terms for general understanding. The "Pie", if we could just substitute that with "Juice". A certain 5-channel amplifiers power supply has the ability to serve up a specific maximum amount of juice. Call it 250...

    Thanks all - cementing my preference in Nardo too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yup. I?m still leaning towards Nardo, but the Stealth is pretty cool too! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ok, I need opinions! The front baffles are in and ready for final paint. A suggestion was made from them to consider an alternative grey that they felt would be more complimentary. Nardo Grey vs Stealth Grey: 1st up, Nardo Grey. Now, Stealth Grey. Let?s hear it! Sent from my...

    Thanks all. You?ll have to make that call on the quality in person! So far, I?m really pleased with the project outcome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The paint price per liter I did not get directly. The expertise being what I?m more concerned with. It worked out expensive at R11,000 for the paint-job, then a further R2500 for perfect correction and ceramic coating by Diamondworx. It is what it is, and I?m taking no chances. Don?t want to...

    Some pics. First, the cleaning and polishing of every bolt, nut and screw. Badges and other bits and bobs, all like new and bagged. The crossover mounting plate refinished, as well as the crossovers themselves inspected and cleaned up. Next up, the stainless steel braces after some...

    Open baffles - my introduction and the R909?s.

    The complete strip down took place this past weekend, with every piece carefully cleaned and inspected. I'm most pleased that after the task was completed, every single piece is as new and now sealed in individual bags. The whole thing resembles a large Lego project. Tapatalk is not working for...

    On something like this, the best couldn?t look like a good automotive finish. It?s a 360 degree seamless piece, so a wrap will have seams. I?m looking for perfection in every piece regardless of what it takes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
