Hello hello.
I think its fair to say that I am more interested in music than in gear. Last time I counted, I have near two thousand albums, CD's and LP's. So that's where most of my music money goes. I enjoy listening to the music nearly as its intended to sound. So HiFi matters.
To be totally honest, I am probably a bit of a gear head to

But music is what really moves me.
I'm also into wood working. This makes it natural for me to look into DIY solutions. Back in the days, I started with a horn. It was driven by a 8' element. Coral, I think. I've also made a mini monitor based on SEAS Excel elements. Had them standing on a band pass sub. These mii monitors are still playing pretty good.
