Slowly gathering items for my build. (This was supposed to be a quick and dirty build for my workplace, but I'm obsessing.) What resister did you source for R1? It looks like the closest option Parts Express has is 7 Ohm...

I ordered the kit, planning to keep it simple and just do the Sehlin option 4 (thank you for your generosity in sharing this.) Anybody have any thoughts on recessing the mid. driver to be flush with the other drivers/ baffle? It aesthetically bothers me ( a bit) having that one driver stick...

I wish Schiit would make a modular preamp. A Freya S/ Kara with optional/ upgradeable plug-in phono and DAC cards, sort of a preamp-only version of the Ragnarok or a better Jotunheim with the relay attenuator and remote. Also wish the source input selector was rotary, or at least had two...

Axiom is just the sort of company I'd like to support, just the sort of product I'd buy, but I get hung up on their ugly aesthetics. They could use a good update on their design/ website/ reviews etc. I don't know if I could let that "vortex port" in the house, I'm already on the fence with my...

I wonder if the small dimension of the volume pots typically used in these mini amps are partly responsible for the channel imbalance. Do the larger conductive plastic pots like ALPS RK27 etc. allow for better tolerances (larger resistive elements/ contact patches etc.)? It would be an...

Any photos of the drivers? I know I should listen with my ears, not eyes, and know if things measure well I shouldn't care about details like cast-frames on the woofers etc. But, so many active monitors in this price range use such cheap-looking drivers, and seeing them relative to the drivers...

It's not an argument for or against, just an aesthetic/ convenience consideration, and one that may well be worth $100 more. Thanks for the SMSL A300 recommendation.

In my home/ work experience, external power supplies are cumbersome/ messy. But we've become accustomed to a rat's nest of mismatched, different-sized external power supplies for all our electronics (input and output cords of various types winding around each other etc.) So maybe it's just a...

I've often thought the manufacturers of these chip-amps use the external power supplies as a way to disguise the real foot-print of the product. The lifestyle photos typically exclude the ugly switch-mode power supply. I would prefer a PS integrated in one chassis, or if it is external, at least...
