The main amp is kinda special. It is one of only 200 made, I won the opportunity to purchase a “kit” at the diyAudio forum I belong to. It was given to the community by Nelson Pass one of the premier audio designers out there and who happens to participate there and has a huge following. It uses a special transistor he designed and Sony built. 10 watts per channel Class A. It’s called the Sony V Fet. Amazing sound, just amazing.

I bow down to the master

This go's way beyond any form of DIY I would try and tempt but we all have to learn. It doesn't scare me, just need a simple place to start.
So wish we lived near each other, you wouldn't get rid of me wwwillie for smoke and listen sessions. Probably a good thing for you.

I do like the idea of building speakers though. I'm slowly building an out door rig for party's, building of speakers or repairing them is the only way I'm getting a thumping rig at a realy affordable price. Mind you the pandemic has killed a lot of clubs and sound sytem hire. Quite a bit is out there quite cheap at the moment.

Well this could be a start for you then. DIY can be as in depth as you want it. You could just build kits. On diyAudio they have all sorts of cool stuff. While not a packaged kit you can get all the parts and help you would need to build all,kinds of stuff. Speaking of diy, speakers are way outa my league! I built a small pair for desktop use but that was a kit too. I am however getting ready to embark on a journey with an active crossover and bi-amping. I already b-amp but am using the crossover built into the speaker, with this I’ll be using an active crossover before the power amps and speakers.
Oh and it’s kinda sad we’re so far apart. I’d love a growing, smoking, listening friend!
