Title: new BeePre2 an Kaiju up and running
Post by: Jay on May 07, 2023, 09:58:25 AM

Here are my newly finished stock Kaiju and BeePre2 up and running alongside my Eros.  They replaced a stereomour which sounded great, but this is greater - I'll spare the flowery hifi speak.  Thanks to Bottlehead for such great gear,  to Paul B. for talking me through a minor snag, and to Eileen for her speedy friendly service!

Congratulations! There’s nothing quite like the Technicolor magic of 300Bs

They are Great Plains Audio 604-8H duplexes.  I designed the enclosures after the Stonehenge plans except they are double chamber reflex.  They are made from 1 inch bamboo.

+1 for the Plyboo cabinets. Enjoy the upgraded tunes.

The system looks great, and I'm sure it will sound great. Enjoy!
