Plenty of tips and example of some fine home grown speakers, non appear JBL.
Even some MTM examples, crossover design and some interesting cabinet construction.

They also appear to have an annual get together and possibly something Lansing Forums could potentially arrange on a regional basis. Put a voice and a face to name does give you an appreciation of what a guy is like behind those posts.

Sounds like a great idea. SoCal might be an ideal regional site, including maybe a tour of the Northridge facility. Of course, all our friends from around the country, Europe, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and everywhere else would be welcome! LA's got a big airport with lots of international connections.

But we might also consider Toledo, OH where I bought my first JBLs (L100 Century, of course) at Woodville Appliance in 1970. Giskard could host.

Yeah well if they let me back in it (I think those in SF wanna rest..hey Widget) would be via LA and I have some stops to make that I missed last time, Orange County and Palm Desert, Northridge would be fun!

Too much serious nonsense at times on these threads.. :o:

May be a met in Ohio with be fun, plenty of noted Guru's in those parts, Giskard for one, I am sure he has some story's to tell.

Perhaps we could even arrange a do here down under with Jarrod and Ken.

I thought this crossover board was interesting,

It appears to be Milled out of copper sheet:

I bought a visonics ox breakoput box but it was nothing at all like the BoD. Truly a remarkable accomplishment, especially the tapped coils. It would cost a king's ransom to have them custom made.

I have used sheet copper before for ox networks. By blanking out the large copper areas and only allowing the breaks to be etched it keeps the etching fluid from loading up. Makes adding bypass and resistors easier too
