Is this what you had in mind ?

The baffle is disproportionate in size to the driver, but I really like the ease of access to the crossover.

Have I got the sequencing correct here?
#55. I've been massaging my burndy for well over an hour,
#57. I've got a choke installed on my cable,
Is it now the proper time to invoke #58 and bring SWMBO into the room and seek her input?

69) I wouldn't call it 'night and day', but I definitely hear a difference.
70) Tried MacMini running Audirvana 2.0 integer mode with room correction and Usb to Spdif converter with custom high level power supply to nDac playing 24/96 high res. Still prefer LP12.
71) DAVE will be the MOAD

#81 What we need is a streamer without a DAC
#82 You've got too many DACs. I hate redundancy.

#83 I tried to recommend a much better 3rd party power supply you could get off a well known auction site for half the price, but the moderator wouldn't let me post the link to it. (Sorry, Richard 
)

Oh yes ! In a half-width case that can sit discretely alongside the nDAC.

RE: 89. Or in my case, have a spur installed when building the home and then not even know there is supposed to be a different amperage cable used until too late.

On the subject of cables and Ferrets, according to QI, until the 1960s, Boeing aircraft manufacturers used ferrets to carry cables to inaccessible areas. Unfortunately the animals’ role was cut short as they often gave up their task or fell asleep.

Didn't BT use ferrets to run city phone lines through long trunking?
Or do I have that mixed up ferrets running through long trunks?

Specially trained ferrets are being used to deliver broadband to rural areas. The animals have been used by Virgin Media for over a year to help lay cables for its broadband service.
The ferrets wear jackets fitted with a microchip which is able to analyse any breaks or damage in the underground network.
Its true - honest - it was in the Telegraph 1/4/10 so must be true

94. Use a minimum of 3.5 meters of Naca or a cable with sufficiently low capacitance or you will fry the amp
95. 94. applies to amps made before 19xx.
96. Naca only, alternative speaker cables are not recommended by Naim
97. Until super lumina arrived. SL is OK. 3.5 mtrs minimum, of course
98. Alternative speaker cables are still not recommended by Naim

# 99 your £60 grand system won't sound any good unless you put it on a fraim
# 100 When you do put it on your fraim it will still sound crap unless they are in the right order
