Thank you Tim, they're self designed.

Hi Mike,
Nice room and beautiful work on the speakers. Can you share if the design is based on a posted DIY project, or are they self-designed? - Tim

Tobuns, the art work is from Alex Grey. http://shop.cosm.org/

I recognize the artwork as the same used in the 3-D packaging for "10,000 Days" by Tool. Can you tell me more about it.

Hi Mike
Thanks for your answer. I am looking forward to getting my dac 2 and sx500 monos. I was worried about not having the preamp. I wanted to keep things as simple as possible.I don' want to miss out on sound quality

Hi James,

IMO the DAC-2 direct into the ST-500 sounds fantastic, very transparent, fluid, dynamic.

Hi
How do you find the Dac2 direct to ST 500. I am getting the Dac2 and the SX500 monos and using an Oppo bluray as a transport. Just interested in your opinion.
Thanks

Thanks Dan!

I designed and built the cabinets and crossovers. I had a body shop paint the cabinets though.

Hi Mike, beautiful room (love your furniture), your speakers look great. Did you build them? I know you built the crossovers, but did you build the enclosures too?

Glad to hear from you, regards,
Dan

Hi Mike, send some pictures, will you? I'd like to see your crossovers and speakers. I know it's got to sound good with those drivers and crossover components. Keep up the good work!
