I buitl up two AmpCamp amps to run as bridged mono blocks back in the July/August time-frame.
Part of that project was to build up a pair of GR-Research X-LS Encores as speakers.
Well, I had a total hip replacement August 10th and have been recovering from that the last six weeks.
As I got clearance to resume normal duties from my orthopedic surgeon with an A+ post-op exam on Tuesday, I decided to finish up the X-LS Encore project.
Here's a shot of one of the cabinets made by Killian Smith. Killian veneered and stained these to resemble the Dynaudio Special 40s.
Here's a pic of the crossover. The resistors, SoniCaps and MiFlex copper caps and Mills resistors were part of the upgraded "parts" kit. You guys know the drill on these.
And...here they are!
I have say, listening to them immediately after hooking them up, I am
REALLY impressed.
After 300 hours on them for run-in, they should be "on the cam" as we say in motor racing...so, stay tuned, listening impressions to come over the next few days as they run in. The woofers certainly need running in and crossover needs to be burned in.
But so far.....
