Rooze's 'New' System (Starting to take Shape)
Around 4 years ago I got out of this crazy hobby for good 
Back then I had a dual stack Oris 150 horn system with dynamic bass towers. A Lyngdorf TDI2200 with room-perfect handled the horns, with digital link to a Tact digital amp with bass and XO duties.
Audio Aero Capitole CD player on a custom SRA stand, with a whole host of other bells and whistles completed the rig. It was nice but ultimately drove me to despair, so I eventually dumped everything and took a 4 year hiatus.
Now I'm back!
Even through the horny period I still owned Apogees, and I've had Maggie's in the past too, so I like the dipole / Planar sound.
So when I heard a friends original Amazing's I decided it was time to start over. That was just a few short weeks ago, now my system consists of:
Cambridge Audio 851C CD/Dac
Pioneer Elite Universal Player
Supratek Chenin preamp
Ampzilla 2000 mono blocks
Carver original/platinum hybrid.
The system is coming along. I'm planning a XO rebuild pretty soon, or perhaps stepping into 'active', though I have a lot of trepidation over the technical aspects of programming an active XO from scratch.
So I'm looking around for a circuit diagram for my XO (I have the 60" Plat ribbon with the old style honeycomb bass drivers).
So far I haven't found a circuit but I'll bet there's one around here somewhere!
That's all I know
