That's a lovely offer thank you very much!

Just thinking about Christmas and might get my dad a fm tuner. For under £50 used the denon 260 sprang to mind straight away. Is there any other models I should be be looking out for fleebay and Gumtree?

This is really interesting stuff. I didn't realise i was talking about active crossovers. Reading further this sounds like a great project a bit further down the line. I've been reading about minidsp it looks lots of fun. I think i will build a pair of full range speakers for my first project. I...

Sorry if i'm sounding niave here i only have a basic grasp of speaker design. I've been reading up on diy speakers and crossovers, and something occured to me. Most modern amps have 4 channels, so why do manufacturers not have the amp split the frequencys for the tweeters and woofers then have...

I have thought of building my own. In fact I've been working on a idea on paper of building cabinets to look and be used as a fire surround. That way I can get away with larger cabinets and drivers and not annoy this Mrs. The problem being they wouldn't be far enough apart. Wow they are a flash...

Yes they will thank you. I couldn't find any info on sensitivity.

I've had smashing Pumpkins siamese dream on today. Haven't listened to it for about 10 years. What a amazing album.

I agree just get some used bookshelf speakers front ported then flog them later.

Just use the sansa it has great sound

Have you tried a sock in the ports?

OK thank you. Food for thought.
