Dennis Had Inspire Amps

[Coltrane1]

No sub needed with OB Hawthorne Audio drivers...each lower driver (Augies) is a sub.

He said that he made a few pairs that he sold to some local fellas in North Carolina. He hasn't shipped them to anyone yet, and I didn't get the impression that he was itching to start shipping speakers. I think he's happy just shipping little amps ....you do know he is retired....right???

Indeed, makes me jealous.

Now that I think about it, we're about 4.5 hours from Raleigh Durham ... Wonder if he would mind a drive by visit to hear some of his latest stuff. I may have to email him about that.

Indeed. I'm talking to Darrel about a set of one of these designs. Would be a Duet rather than a Trio, but the design basis would be similar.

I'm sure Dennis would love to have a visit. He sent me an open invite to drop by his club if I were in the neighborhood.
I bet it would be a blast, if I could just free up some time.

Very classy, Dennis!

I like the flake in that copper powder coat. Recent listing on ebay for the M3 blue. Glad I got bought my 6V6 when I did, prices seem to be climbing. Hopefully the phono pre and the LP2 will stay attainable. 1.5 weeks until I get to hear my lil green 6v6 for the first time..... Suspense is building. Fingers crossed it is a good match for my Zu audio Soul Suferfly's......

That's awesome looking Bill!! Dennis sent me the top picture, with all of the chassis' together. I thought yours was a burgundy red, but I can see the copper better from the other photos. Looks really cool!!!

You're halfway there Simon!!

Dennis whips these things out! He told me that with a couple more hours work that he'd be listening to Music! (Of course he didn't say with THIS unit...)

It's hard to pin this copper color down in different lighting, but it is metal flake and then clear coated. It will look spectacular when finished. It is exactly what I wanted and Dennis found it after looking at several samples I think I mentioned before that I asked him to match the MSB copper on their special color examples page. The copper and black is about halfway down. Once we got on a roll there was no stopping... What a friend!

Custom Colors

Dealing with Dennis is one of the pleasures of buying his hand made amps.

Dennis has been running it with both tubes.
