I'd like to give a big hello to everyone on the forum. I'm currently living in the Silver Spring area. Although not a hardcore diyer, I've been into the audio hobby for many years. I'm particularly interested in vintage audio w/ an affinity for the classic formula of low power tube amplification and high efficiency horns.
I haven't had too much diy experience but I'd like to start by building a nice set of 2-way speakers using a pair of jbl 2420 1'' compression drivers I've had laying around for the past few years.
The pic is of my modest living room setup consisting of the following:
Klipsch Tangent 500 Speakers (Same components in the Heresy II with the addition of a passive radiator)
Channel Islands Audio DAC & high current power supply
1959 Pilot 240 Integrated Amplifier
Sony PS-X5 Turntable
ALTEC 314a Emperor Royale Tuner
at the bottom is a Marantz 2216 reciever, although not in use at the moment.
I look forward to meeting everyone and learning as much as I can!
-Max
