I can't wait, it will be around 3 months!  They are EI cores though, hoping for good sound.  I learned recently that Sowter was acquired by Carnhill and Brian Sowter will likely be stepping away when things are "running smoothly".

LOrdWyn,
Exceptional work! I especially like your gold anodized case. Is that “home made”, or purchased commercially. More information shall be appreciated.

Thanks very much!  It is professionally made, I lack the equipment to make such a nice anodized chassis.  It is made by a company in Texas called Landfall Systems.  I chose gold as many of the 4V driver tunes this amp uses have gold metallization.

Those cabinets are stunning.  Is that the walnut?  That is likely the veneer I will be going with, very classy.  I really want to go with the Customshop 8 HO, just need to figure out if those deep cabinets are going to work where these babies will go in my room.  They are quite chunky, similar dimensions to the SAM.


That’s natural walnut - thank you

A couple years ago I had calc a single chassis in this company site, his prices were so hi the final non anodized natural alu reach more than 300USD, so I ordered from RF Parts a one piece chassis for around 50USD.
