Come Join Us at VSAC 2008.
A great party for the DIY crowd. The Vacuum tube State of the Art Conference has not been held for a number of years, and has always been a great time. This year it is just outside of Portland Oregon. www.VSAC2008.com We will be bringing some open baffle speakers, Alerions, and some of Jeffrey Jackson's great tube amps.
New Stuff:
A review pair of Alerions has just become available in the San Francisco Bay area. See the sale page for more information.
Waiting for that bargain? Well, maybe you waited too long. All we have left are some EX4's. Call and reserve a pair to lock in the best pricing.
Open Baffles
A number of customers have now built open baffle speakers with great success. Dick Olsher designed his BassZilla speaker around a DX4 in an open baffle. I have built these, and continue to play around with Lowthers in open baffles. The fun factor is tremendous, with an open, clear sound and wide imaging. The experiment is cheap, with a piece of plywood being the only requirement. Several customers are in the process of working on these who are reporting great satisfaction with the result.
