Airtime:
I really want to get the Zaph ZR 71 kit for no other reason to "hear" how Zaph voices his speakers (plus it's allegedly just a damned good 7" base solid 2-way). I build a Kreskovsky-designed 2-way for this reason as well, to listen to one of his designs and have a reference around the house. Having a Zaph reference would be of great value to me as a DIYer.
The Urei sounds better than I thought it would - I would have never imagined it would be suitable for hi-fi and some would say it doesn't. But, the soundcard I am using has amazing detail and clarity and it's quite clinical for an audio interface of it's cost and format. The LME49720 op amps made a big difference to. The Urei has sort of a "ahead of it's time 80's hi-fi sound" to it, with a prosound edge. It's very smooth with a silky high end but what is impressive is the *slam* and impact you can get from this thing. It's just so engaging and lively.
Two more things I would like to try is a pro-sumer higher end 8-channel interface (firewire or USB 3.0) and a more modern outboard crossover like a DBX driverack. I just don't have the scratch for any new audio toys right now, so I assemble different systems from the gear I have sitting around...
Cheers,
Presto
