Thank you for the kind words, it feels great to know my work is serving as a source of inspiration for others!
Nope, just an audiophile :)
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words! It's been a lifelong passion, and I have to thank my father for that...he sparked my interest as a child :). It's great to be in touch with people who share...
You have an impressive stock of UREI's on hand! Thanks for sharing! At my peak I had 15 of them if memory serves, maybe more...ha ha ha. I had used the A series in the theater, my father had used...
So I had packed up everything and rebuilt at the new house, with the UREI's as part of the system. When I built new speakers during COVID, I designed them to fit the same openings, you'll notice the...
Many years back I had built some speaker cabinets for my father's set of 604E's using sonotube for the cabinet walls, the curved surface was surprisingly strong, so this new design was an evolution...
Thank you Grumpy!It was a fun project building new speakers. I tried some new techniques with the design, using flexible plywood and some complicated shapes. They look plain on the front, but...
Some photos of the new theater....

Equipment is all racked up, and amplifiers are in the garage in a 7' rack. The Sony TA-E9000ES and TA-P9000ES have both needed work, one I had to swap the power supply on (Sony is notorious for...
We also lowered the shelf in the bay window, and made a padded seat for "spill over seating". I installed new trim to dress up the window nice. Those with sharp eyes will notice fiberboard below...
In the rear you can see the 2nd row is elevated 10", the rear speakers I built are visible (8" Theil woofer, with B&G Neo8 planar tweeter, again bi-amplified), and 3 2'x2' absorbers by GIK Acoustics,...
You asked, I shall deliver :) Thanks for expressing an interest!
The theater has been up and running for over a year...I still have some crown molding to finish and recessed lights to connect,...
A pair of 2242H's on the left and right, which i still need to modify to clear the brick behind the wall...and for the center a 2042HPL which i still need to make a new baffle for (i scored this one...
