Brothers wife

[Ian Mackenzie]

I went down and saw my brother Mark over the holdiay break.

Here are images of his system.

They are 4343's bi amped that has been through various incarnations over the years.

They were originally built in 1980 by yours truly in these boxes, then the mid/hf was taken out to reduce the weight for transport when used for shows. The boxes weigh about 200 kg each. The original 2231 drivers have been recone to the 2235 cone and are all original alnico. Mark also has a spare set of 2235h drivers. The crossovers use 12 db slopes and mylar capacitors. I've never measured the response but it sounds every bit a 4343.

More recently the Mid/Hf has been refitted and the boxes painted grey (previously matt black). The slot is front mounted and it appears to work very well. I could not convince him to reverse the slots to the outside.

The rack is all the original components over 25 years old, a 700B, a Quad 405 which Mark built on 1978, Nakamichi crossover and rumble filter and Teac CD & cassette decks. The Playmaster power amp series 3 in back is a recent addition as is the Playmaster preamp which he also built. He prefers to run single woofers these days.

This is a bachelor pad as you can tell, very neat.

Dood...

You need a new shirt... :rotfl:Bo, like Jeff Goldblume in "The Fly", perhaps our resident xover genious has a dozen of these so he does not have to waste brain power figuring out what to wear each day? Or perhaps its just like the infamous "Golden Boy" on Seinfeld!

WE do know what he would like for Chistmas though?:D

Damned nice system!

Do ya think that boob tube is safe where it is??:D:D

Whoaa mama I bet that one cooks....

[Ian Mackenzie]

It has not fallen apart yet, but they are decoupled from the floor on 4 x 4 pine blocks, that helps apparently.

We played a DVD, it reach's into the lower octaves with ease with 360 watts a a side and damping factor 1000:1. Although that amp has sinned when the pre was turn off 1st one time by a visitor, instant recones and new ears required.

Kids are Ban from the JBL lounge.

I was refering to the Album from Hollywood Records titled
The Ultra Lounge. One of the titles is Bachelor Pad Royale. For those who don't follow that sort of music, it a great sixties lounge CD with a few cool tunes from that era. A Great tune to be played on that system or any system for that matter. Nothing else was implied or realized. Got it!! Good:eek:
As far as being a brat. I don't think so. And your right you don't know me at all, or I you, so I save my comments for elsewhere.
