Title: Re: Zen TORII on GedLee Abbeys? Post by ski bum on 05/13/11 at 16:56:55 I don't have personal experience, but on paper they would appear to be a good match. The Abby's are fairly high sensitivity, so the Torii should be more than sufficient, unless you're trying to fill a gigantic room. What is you situation? Do you have a Torii and are considering the Abby's, or vice-versa, or are you starting from scratch? Here's a nifty link to see if the power is adequate: http://myhometheater.homestead.com/splcalculator.html |

Title: Re: Zen TORII on GedLee Abbeys? Post by jtwrace on 05/13/11 at 23:24:44 I do own the Abbeys along with two of Dr. Geddes' bandpass subs and two custom aluminum Rythmik Subs that I built. I'm intrigued by this amp. |

Title: Re: Zen TORII on GedLee Abbeys? Post by Donnie on 05/14/11 at 13:03:39 jtwrace, I really like that sub! I'm figuring around 4 hours a panel to machine, 6 hours of CAD time and $1800 in material. That is commitment. I wish I still worked at a small shop I'd be hacking some out today. Great work! |

Title: Re: Zen TORII on GedLee Abbeys? Post by jtwrace on 05/15/11 at 20:37:06 I probably have ~40 hrs of CAD time as I kept changing what I wanted to do and how I wanted it to go together. As for machine time, it's only about 30 min per panel which includes all the ops and changeover in fixturing. The polishing of each panel, anodizing and assembly is a huge amount of time too. Cost of material? Well, considering I did this at a time when aluminum was the highest, lets just say it was expensive. ;) |

Fan-dang-tastic. Thanks. What I will call the standard, non-Death-Star Rhythmiks are high on my list. |
