2.  Offer to build and sell the full-range Melquiades by custom order.  I know you have various reasons to put the Melq in the public domain and not build it for money, but you could leave the "plans" here on GSC and still sell maybe 2-3 pairs a year to people who want it and are not prepared to build it.  There are reasons not to do it, but there are reasons not to do anything in audio for money.  I think you did sell that one mirror-imaged pair, and it was not the end of the world.

Actually I never thought about it but you might be right. I did sell of pair of Milq but it was more like ego sell. The guy from NY was using Lamm ML-2.0 with his horns and he stopped by at my place and asked to lend him Milqs. So, I did and he found after a month or so that Milq was better. There was no conversation at that point about sell or price and when he did ask me to sell them I begin to ask myself about the price I shall get. I did informed him how much it cost to me and then I proposed to him to sell the Lamms and pay to me the money he get form ML-2. He sold him Lamms for I think $12.5K and it was what I got for Milqs. I was very pleased not as much financially but rather ego-vise as when I started to work with Melquiades I did not even think that my amp will be changing ML-2.0, all that I wanted to have another amp that will be able to work along with Lamms. I still do not feel that making Melquiades is something that I would undertake. However, thinking about it did give me a VERY interesting inspiration that frankly quite take me.  I have to confess that I come to a very appealing to me idea right after I read your post and I do feel that I owe you one. Do you know you? The “JJ Triode”, are the guy who visited me two year back with Clark of you are the Vivaldi-guy who visited me in February? Sorry, I do not remember people behind the site’s monikers…
