wakkz.....hej på dig
You could always built it yourself as I did, two layers of MDF boards with dampning glue and some paint, works great and cheap too.

Carlthewave.....nice JBL speakers.
Thanks

Here are some quick pics of my system and mac gear -

The speakers are too close together, that's for non-use. I spread them out when i listen or watch movies.

I need to find a better spot for the center speaker since i added the mac stuff

Very nice set-up you have there.

Have you seen the handles that Ivan (MasterLu) had made up for the 501's? They really make a great looking amp even better.

Thanks!

Yeah I have! Those handles look really great, it looks like the original But I think shipping them to Sweden would be too much of a hassle to fix minor cosmetic things like that I mean... the 501 looks like one of mother natures wonders with or without handles
Ivan has really done a great job with them though.
Thanks
