Deja Vu all over again!

Jon, Well done! Good to see the results after reading many of your interesting thread contributions. Perhaps your next move will be to feed the Yamamoto with something like a microRendu?

Wow, those speakers look awesome. If you'd care to share the DIY plans, I've got a friend who has built many and would probably be interested. PM me if you can. Thanks,Spencer
