Hello all,

I finally ended the aksa construction with the new boxes and the Nirvana upgrade. I was a bit delayed by an unfortunate snowboard accident  :nono:  2 weeks ago (broken wrist), but recovering well now !!  :D

The final internal pics are here :

Very nice!  When I build my Aksa, can I have you build my cabinet?  ;-)

Felipe-
Very nice job!  That is a great idea.  Having heard AKSA, I know what you have and am very impressed with the project.

Thank you for your comments. There is a lot of time, love and brain consumption on those cabinets, i didnt want regreat any decision. And so far i dont.

The 1 thing i wish i had on them is a remote switch on/off. Maybe i figure out how to do it while i build the GK-1. I would probably use the same approach. I have a relay switch acctioned by the push button. Maybe i can do a remote pulse to action the relay ... :roll:  :?:  :?:

The nice looking red internal wire is Anti-Cable Wire by the way. I strongly recommend it !!! Very good sonics and a treat to work with. Its solid core 99,999% copper and with microscopicaly thin outter red layer.

Hugh,
The speakers are Sonus Faber Concertino. I got them on special discount at the local audio store as the current model is discontinued. Very nice sounding, for smallish rooms with a tendency to jazz+classical sound. Just what i needed for now...and the looks...woooowww :mrgreen:  Real wallnut wood sides with black leather finish on fronts, top and back.
