  Number of yrs. to reach the finished line?
Ten long years and way to much $$$ lost running sometimes backwards and sideways.

No more for me. I am very happy with the end result and can live a very long time with what I have built.

The Lampizator / Tenor was what brought me to the end and took the longing out of me for better sound.

What say you?

As others have said, there is no finish line. I don't know about you guys but once I get a system working well, I'm ready to change something. Panels to horns, horns to dynamic, planers to electrostatics... It's a journey, not a destination.
