Crossovers
Years of tinkering with active crossovers have taught me one thing: None of them are as sophisticated and none of them sound as good as the Borbely Audio ones. Every aspect of the circuit design is top class, to my knowledge these are the best analog active crossovers that money can buy period.

Hi Erno,
The parcel has arrived last Friday. Thank you for the special price on SB2 kit. The assembled SB2 looks great. What solder did you use? Lead-free? The lead-free, silver bearing solders I have tried never give me quite as shiny solder joint as the leaded one.
I have been a fan of Borbely Audio since early '90 when I was a student in the States. Yesterday when I opened the box to inspect the shipment especially the SB2s, I appreciated how much the quality of the kits has improved. On hind sight, while your designs were among the best, I had a few nit-pickings on your early '90 kit offers. For example I always left out the on-board LM317/337 regs and used out-board regs on your FET/Bipolar preamp modules. I didn't like the Roderstein MKII resistors although they were okay enough. Now in 2007, with all the all FET design line-up, your kits come with premium quality parts and off-board regulators. Your kits are way-ahead of most commercial audio gears in terms circuit designs and part quality. I could pay big-big price for gears from a few super high-end brands only for better looks and ergonomics of use but not the sound reproduction quality. Your kits are the best available and so completed I see no point of buying commercial gears any more. I can't praise you more highly. I wonder what you'll come up for your next personal challenge.
By the way, the super shunt regulator is really super!!

Erno and Les:
The MILL 75 monoblock amps look great and the rear connectors are a lot better than the ones I've used in the past. Everything is definitely first class, and I feel that now I'm in the big league of amplifiers.
I've been listening to the amps for about an hour and a half and all I can say is that they are fantastic. I noticed a huge difference with jazz and classical. For instance, the Madeline Eastman CD "Mad about Madeline" is extremely well recorded and the detail is amazing. Her voice sounds so natural. Also, The Gene Harris Quartet CD, "Listen Here!" is so enjoyable. Sorry, I don't know any of those buzz words used in the magazines, I just know that I love the amps.
The power output matches my speakers very well. With some of my contemporary jazz CD's such as Jeff Lorber and Lee Ritenour, the low end is excellent.
These amps are fantastic and they seem to be getting better every day. I have never heard music sound this good. I'm looking forward to many more days of happy listening.
Thank you for doing such a fantastic job—Erno for designing and Les for building the best audio in the world!
