Amazing wood working! I hope jackfruit wood doesn't smell like actual jackfruit

Well, here is my hybrid eXStatA amp.  The idea for the case came from a post on the locked eXStatA thread (#2398) by macm75, who graciously offered me some construction tips along the way.  The help I got from everybody on the current eXStatA Build Thread II was also invaluable to me in getting this done.  It’s only two days old but, every time I turn it on, it takes me to new levels of listening joy….

Wow!!! What a beauty! What was your source for the perforated metal mounted to the bottom, if you don't mind my asking.

 

[ujamerstand]

onlinemetal? That's where I bought mine. Would love to know a black anadonized perforated sheet metal source though.

 

[rbarth]

Yep.  onlinemetal it was.  Don't know of a black anodized perforated sheet metal source.

It's pretty easy to spray paint it.

EHHA Speaker Amp Premier 

All parts are based on the recommended power amp build up the Cavalli website. It’s a bit of a work in progress at the moment, so I’ll be sure to post finished pics soon.
 

 

 
As one of the four boards is still waiting for some parts and a bit of troubleshooting, I thought I’d give a pair of 4ohm bookshelf speakers a whirl with two of my working boards a single σ22 and do a bit of testing. I’m delighted to say the EHHA makes a fantastic speaker amp, it’s running steady at 100mA and the sinks are still cool, I reckon I could probably push 200mA easily. The speakers sound awesome for what they are, much better than than I ever expected these cheapies could ever muster, if fact I spent the entire day listening... oh and I’m only using the kit supplied 6GM8’s.
