MOTM

Just keep in mind, the goal is a *low-noise* design. And, who is to say this is the first and
*only* filter bank? I am still a vocoder fan, remember :)

I think 4U is too big, and just the logistics of handling/storage/shipping on my end is an issue.
And the panel alone would cost me $25ea.

I plan for this design to actually be 2 identical pc boards, with "stuffing options" on each for
the HP/LP section and the output summer. This is why the 2 vertical columns. There will be 2
Stooge-style brackets for the pcb support (held by pot nuts). I'm trying to keep the price
reasonable, some of you will want stereo/quad/5.1 no doubt. SIP resistor networks will reduce
overall parts handling/soldering and speed up kit building.

Sounds like you may still be able to put the 8 bandpass pots in two 
columns using the "old" pot spacing, and put the lowpass and highpass 
pots off board in the third column along with the LED and switch. 
That would be my preference.
