    Tripping the light fantastic

    Blast from the past. Some of you old timers will remember this build over a decade ago. I'm just doing some reminiscing. First a picture from 2009 before the speakers were veneered.

    Which brings us to today. A lot of gear has rolled through over the last decade but "The Widgets" always remain.

    I always enjoy looking at very well finished DIY systems

    What is in the Widgets? Looks like Altec 511b + ?, JBL 2405, and a 15 or 18" JBL ?
