I based my current speakers on HPD 315's, purchased on Ebay UK. Cabinets were built to my specifications, and are 150 liter bass reflex, using an inner layer of 3/4" MDF laminated to an outer layer of 1 1/8" MDF, adding up 192 lbs. each.
The woofers were converted to "hard edge" surrounds, with custom designed and built crossovers. I use two very different amps, a Class D, using two modules bridged to mono, for 500 Wpc. My other amp is a very fine-sounding SET 300B that does an excellent job of driving the HPD's, even in my large listening room.
For analog, a DIY restored Garrard in a custom built (also DIY) plinth, using a Dynavector 501 arm, Zu Denon 102R cartridge, and Modwright SWP 9.0 phono stage. It all gives me great enjoyment for the long run.

Dan
