Eleanor McEvoy
Hello Sam, if you like Karine Polwart there's a reasonable chance you'll like Eleanor McEvoy. You can sample some tracks here: http://www.eleanormcevoy.com/sounds/index.html She cares about recording quality too. I have several of her albums on SACD but I believe they're available on vinyl too. Ray

Electronluv
BTW, I remember the sound in the Electronluv room was pretty good; they also had some pretty amazing horn speakers.
That said, it didn't match Bruce Edgar's titans powered by a pretty everyday push-pull valve amp which was best of show for me (and, I think, Mr Barker).

Electronluvs
Yes, they're GM100s, running HT at 1900V, hence the smell of ozone in the room. Josh operated the on/off switch with a long wooden pole. They gave out so much white light that you could have read a book by them alone (I think it was about equivalent to a 200watt bulb if I remember correctly). Ed, th...

The True Path
Andrew, go and run a cold bath and throw in all the ice you can get out of your freezer - you'll feel better afterwards.
Just to remind you of the true path! (Its the electronluv room at VSAC 2003 - the smell of ozone hit you when you walked through the door!)

Hmmm....
Yes, something like stainless steel would be nice but way beyond my capabilities or pocket.

SR5D
Paul Hynes modules cost in the region of £110 each.
They still waste a lot of energy as heat though, you need to mount the module on a heatsink of something like 0.6deg C/W. You dissipate something like 60-70W to get 2.4W to the speakers.

What sort of music
Samantha, you asked what sort of music this is; its not that simple but imagine (sort of) elements of Clannad, the Medieval Beabes, and add some traditional european and middle-eastern type influences and you might get some basic idea. She has a wonderful voice. Her website is below and you can buy ...

Alternative Cabinet Materials
Any thoughts on alternative cabinet materials (i.e. not ply or MDF). I use lowther horns with the All Fun cabinet design. Clearly to fold a horn into a box results in a compromise and ideally a horn should be a smooth curve and a round cross-section. I've been toying with the idea of making a patter...

Andrew (I) , cheating! - I'm not proud and I don't think silicon injections are banned by the world anti-doping organisation.
Anyway, isn't glass made from silicon.
