The Type 1 is just amazing!  Louis, you are very good at what you do!  The Hoyts are a keeper for sure.  My life speaker.

milford3,

What is that cool looking little tube amp in FireGuy's picture?  Very curious about your new front end.

Canada Rob, the amp you see is the Artel-Andrew Vermaak AA-1 hybrib set.  A home grown passion that's still in the development stage.  It's so new that I'm still waiting for a spec sheet.  The Type 1 should be very happy.

Hi milford3,

Great to hear and I'm very happy you like the speakers. The finish is awesome and they came out great. Sorry for the hiatus. Great pictures and many thanks for all the kind words. I'm working on some Floorstanders right now and should be pretty interesting.

Thanks again,
Louis

Louis - I had a very nice listening trial with Milford3 on the HB's.  I'm not sure which driver I like better, the Type 1 or the RS5.  Both present themselves with precision and finesse.  Looking forward to your new creations.

The Type 1's are broken in and sound is fantastic.  Low volume listening is the forte of this speaker. The eight inch driver is so good that I turned off my sub.   Great job Louis. :thumb:

milford3,
The Type 1 is a winner, and has been a good seller for me up here in Canuck land.  They're easy to match up with a variety of amplifiers.  I hope to have the new HB website up before autumn.  I have a pair of Super 3XRS in the same finish as your Hoyts, except mine have pearl gloss black sides top and bottom.  The combination of the black and Karelian birch burl is stunning.

Hi milford3,

Great to hear and the your driver is the latest. Added some neo to it and makes it more focused now too. Great to hear about the bass.

Thanks,
Louis
