TQWT, built by

Hello Troels,
I have been busy! After our last email exchange discussing the Illumina
66, the reality of the TQWT hit me. See, I needed to downsize from the
OBLs I built last year. Unfortunately the TQWT is on the large side for
my new needs. I decided to build it anyways, as it's description
seemed to fit me much better. Now with 70 hours on the clock
of these new speakers, I have absolutely no doubt about the choice I
made. The break in will take some time longer, but I can already hear
what's in store for me! The bass is already much better than it was one
week ago.
40 Watts of PP KT120 power is a perfect match for them, leaving nothing
more to be desired, even in the volume department. The bass is very
surprising; I was expecting a big step down from the OBLs, there are
less dynamics and punch, but they sound a little fuller in my room. The
T35 option is great. I really like the added presence and detail very
much. The downside is that so so recordings are portrayed as such more
evidently than with the Audax tweeter/crossover. Next will
come some super caps for the Primaluna.
Again, I must thank you very much for sharing your designs. I will never
buy a loudspeaker again!
