Yeah I finally got them to work. It wasn't easy though! Now I just have to finish the other cabinet... It still doesn't have the sides on it.

I forgot I'm also working on some new speaker cables so when they are done I'll post some pics.

Magnifiscent! I wish I had just a tiny fraction of your skills.

Agreed.  Wish I had the time and the tools to be able to build something like that.

Yep.....I'm digging where this is going myself. Those speakers are starting to come together nicely. They really remind me of my favorite speaker the GamuT L7.

(You are going to have some heavy cleaning to do when you are done!)  :rofl:

Got em both done! So far they sound awesome! I need to let them break in before to much is said though.

Well I've got my amp hooked up to my laptop now through my Audigy 2 sound card. It sounds quite a bit better then the other sound card but it also has a bit of a harsh top end. It's not horrible and listenable still but its an artifact of the sound card. Anyways back to my point. I'm listening to Pink Floyd - The Wall and I can not say enough about the dynamics of this speaker. Even on an album like there where its not horribly bass heavy there are just major dynamics in all aspects. The sound stage is really starting to open up as well. Whatever I end up doing about a DAC for my computer should add a lot to the depth and soundstage though. Regardless these speakers are just amazing to say the least, especially for the cost. You can get better for sure but probably not for less then twice the cost of these. And that's DIY costs... as far as a commercial speaker I don't even know where I could start....would be several thousand dollars though for sure.

My favorite thing about this CD is it has these little snippets of like very thin and faint things like music or sound effects and then all the sudden the music kicks in and the soundstage is huge compared to it. Really puts sound stage and what not into perspective.
