4krow 2,483 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I spy a VPI Scout in the background. I miss mine terribly. How deep does the bass go with the Frugal Horns? And is it the bass you always wanted? I say this because it took me too damned long to get the bass right. A sub is the way for me. My DNA2 horns can go fairly low, maybe to 40-50hz but require a sub to muster lower bass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The frugal horns need the back wall for reinforcement, the picture is not of their current location. Also I have two Monitor audio silver 12's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4krow 2,483 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I really should have asked about the pre amp project. Who sells it? What about the power supply. Looks familiar. Pete Millett? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

4krow 2,483 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 What challenges did you have with this project? Some 'kits' amount to a circuit board and a fuzzy schematic. What did you use for a chassis? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What did you use for a chassis? I gutted out an old small receiver from to 70's for the enclosure, mounting it in there was probably the most difficult. Every thing is very well documented from the Linear Audio site, and on DIY audio there is a long thread about it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
