Bedroom system: Wright Sound WPA 3.5 (heavily modified), Speakers - Tekton OB4.5, the preamp is DIY John Broskie's Aikido w/remote.
One of the best small systems I've ever heard.

Here is a little system I was playing around with today; Rethm Saadhana speakers driven with 1.5 watts per channel from a DIY 6DN7 amp.

Hi Wardsweb and all Audio Circle members.
May I ask a few questions?
What are the two (wood) boxes on each sides of the amplifier?
Are the drivers Lowether?
What's the efficiency of the speakers?
Look as if the back of the speakers is a seperate section ?
May we get a closer look at the amplifier?
So many questions and hopefully, many answers.

What are the two (wood) boxes on each sides of the amplifier? Rethm sub amps (part of the speakers)
Are the drivers Lowether? Yes, DX55
What's the efficiency of the speakers? 98dB
Look as if the back of the speakers is a seperate section ? Two piece design; front Lowther, rear 6" sub cabinet
May we get a closer look at the amplifier?

Hi Wardsweb and all Audio Circle members.
Thanks for the info, it's highly appreciated.
The amplifier look like a Bottlehead S.E.X. with a modified base ? ? ?
Nice system you've got.

Hi Poultrygeist and all Audio Circle members.
I am sure Nipper enjoy the music coming out of your nice system.  :lol:
The proof, he is stoned by the music, look at him.

Hi Quiet Earth and all Audio Circle members.
No beer, no boose (Alchool), a sip of wine and for this special occasion
(For me anyway) some champagne...
Did you know that after meeting my wife for the first time,
only 15 days later, we were engaged !
That's fast enough to be in the Guinness world wide reccord book.
She marry me because I did not smoke,
I did not drink
and I did not play cards for mone
and last, but not the least,
because at the time I had money, lots of it.
Now it's not the case anymore,
because I've lost my mind when I saw her for the first time
and I gave her all my money.
No joke, it's the thruth, I swear on my mother's head.

I like those  :thumb: would like to know more. Are you using any passive crossover's or does the MiniDSP take care of that. I awesome you're bi-amping. What are you crossing the Alnico tweeter at ?

I had a JBL 2245H in an 8cf vented box back in the 80's. What a beast that was.......

Signal flow is: Decware Pre -> MiniDSP. X-Over LR4 @ 800 Hz splits to the 2226J woofers and 2445J 2" Comp drivers in 250 Hz Tractrix horns.

So mini DSP is doing the x-over. Super tweeters (which can't be seen in the picture, i need to build a little shelf for them so they clear the horns, are being crossed over passively at 16 kHz LR 2.

The 2" drivers run out of gas at 14 kHz or so, so it was a natural point to add some sparkle there with the 2405 super tweeters. The 300B amp is powering the 2" drivers and super tweeters. A rotel 1050b is driving the woofers. Woofers are in a 4 cu FT box tuned to 45 Hz.

Thought I was missing something. Send up some additional pics here or to your gallery if you can.

Great job my friend.

Will-do. Going to have a chance to tweak the x-over and do so measurements today hopefully.

Great job my friend.

Thanks!
