Thank you for thinking of me but the link is more about Gallipoli than the traditional version of Waltzing Matilda which only sounds genuine when it is sung by a bunch of drunken Aussies, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkurIfcyihk or by schoolchildren who clearly enjoy singing the song. The following site has the first recorded version of the song along with many other recorded versions. https://www.nfsa.gov.au/latest/waltzing-matilda In 1974, Waltzing Matilda came second to Advance Australia Fair in a plebiscite asking what the National Anthem should be to replace God Save the Queen. Advance Australia Fair is an abomination of a stilted official song and Waltzing Matilda is now sung at some international sporting events. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977_Australian_plebiscite_(National_Song) Somehow I think I have digressed a little from the Craigslist topic. My apologies. ray |

To be honest, I have never heard of it. When I was young, nobody spoke of their convict ancestry, probably because genealogy was not common back then. A couple of years ago, my wife discovered that one of my ancestors was a convict who went on to do well. I am fairly ignorant of much of what happened in Australia between 1984 and when easy use of the internet arrived in the mid-nineties. I used to read the New York Times on Sundays during that period and I reckoned that Australia would have to sink before it might be mentioned on page 5 of that publication. ray |

Drivers: https://annapolis.craigslist.org/ele/d/ ... 16641.html DSP and amps: https://annapolis.craigslist.org/ele/d/ ... 13386.html Servo sub amp for OB sub: https://annapolis.craigslist.org/ele/d/ ... 10007.html I've looked at the stuff many times and keep thinking about it. I've even corresponded with the guy - super nice btw. However, the more I read about Hawthrone online, the more discouraged I become about purchasing this. While they are supposed to sound "good" and "nice" and "etc." - aparently there wan't much science put into the passive crossover design. And those that have gone down the OB route think there are far more superior options out there. I think thats is a nice plate amp though. If he had a pair of plate amps for sale, I would purchase. I don't know......I've been enjoying stereo subs for music playback and just don't see myself going back. |

My very first thought was, "now if he was selling a pair of those servo sub amps..." I'd like trying a pair of the OB subs from GR Research. |

I spoke with Rythmik about the amp. I learned it has to been used with a servo subwoofer driver. I was told by Brian (at Rythmik) that you can't just hook it up to any driver. I mean you can - but it would severely compromise performance. I already have too many unfinished projects at this point and just have very little desire to purchase an additional (servo) driver to start a new project. The good thing about the amp is it can be used to build a relatively small sealed subwoofer. It would have limited output, but if one didn't listen particularly loud and needed a sub to pair with some small bookshelves, it could be a nice option. |
