Yes $300 DIY, but Paul the craftsmanship on mine is second to none. He did a wonderful job and used some gorgeous wood. The baffles are also high quality although I am not sure what the material is. These can sit in the finest of rooms and hold their own. Even though I have a handy side to me, I think perhaps paying a craftsman to at least cut and fit the pieces would be a good idea. Also, if you are certain that this is the way to go, design wise, I think stepping up the wood is a good idea too.

Anyhow, I have sent an email to Dave Dulgos so hopefully his memory is jogged upon seeing the speakers.

I've been having alot of fun today. That's right...F-U-N. I trhought that these would maybe be too detailed for poorer LPs but in reality I have found that it does the opposite. Even my average LPs are sounding good, but perhaps this is my eagerness talking.

As far as why Fostex wouldn't enABLE theuir own drivers if it's relevant...I don't agree with you fully. There are alot of proven tweaks out there which OEM's just leave alone. Rega's relationship with Michell and Incognito come to mind. I think some companies would rather just stick with what they are good at, and leave some things to others.

Man I am on cloud nine today...
