Borgward Isabella. My Grandfather had one (not in red though).

2018: Oslo working on its new quarter raised out of the water:

This is how it should look when they are finished:

"One" has the option of using longer cables to place the crossover out of sight if so desired; my crossovers are sitting on a small bamboo riser ($29 CDN) behind the speakers leaving me the flexibility to pull out the speakers more for listening and push them back to keep the wife happy. Also helps prevent me from stepping on the crossovers when I'm behind my gear fiddling with wires and such.

But you need twice as many "cable risers".

Also I think incorporating the crossover into the backside the speakers would negatively impact the aesthetics.

Putting them on the backside of the front baffle makes them invisible seen from the front. Or integrate them into the "stand" for a bit of a technical look. Don't think it would look worse than the open xover.

Bringing it back to audio, Scott 399... at night... and all lit up... is a special thing to behold

I need to get mine fixed and put it back into rotation.

We'll agree to diasagree.

That is beautiful!

Beautiful plane. Ahead of it's time performance. Tragic and mysterious end.

The main issue with the Arrow is that by the time it would have matured, the F-4 Phantom II could do everything it was designed to do, and better at that.

My speakers ( also designed by me)

As a teen in the 80s, I purchased this SAE C102 deck.

It kept stopping for no reason every 30 minutes or so of playing.
So I returned it to "Crazy Eddies" and it went out for repair, a couple of times not fixed.
The last time it came back from repair and "fixed", I asked if they played it for at least an hour, because it doesn't stop right away.
The guy tells me: "We played it all night long and it still played this morning".
I asked "Did someone stay up all night listening?"
He answers: "Not necessary because it has auto-reverse so it can continuously play all night".
Me: "Did the repair center add that feature in there free of charge because this model doesn't have Auto-Reverse"

Crazy Eddie's prices are INSANE, but so was their staff...

So at an early age, I learned not to buy things just because they look cool.

I've got a soft spot for musical fidelity stuff. Especially the kw series and the a3 series.
