I thought Fred did a great job designing these speakers too. Yours look excellent! What kind of wood is that? What finish?

They look great! As far as I know yours are the first. Give them a week or two to break in, experiment with placement until you find the best position in the room, then give us your impressions.

Thanks Wayne, the finish is a faux finish that looks like wood... It works really well and cheap...

What is the finishing product? I might want to use in on some future project. Always looking for the impossible: cheap audio equipment that sounds like the high end stuff, easy to apply finishes that look expensive, etc.

Fred,

I email PE, the manager did not response after at least 2 emails requesting transportation costs for the drivers. Maybe I should give up.

Alternatively, can I use GR driver M130 instead, it may cost a little bit more, and Danny from GR is very user friendly. What is your opinion? I believe the sound will improve as they are better drivers compared to Dayton.

Scott told me to have buyers call him so he can get the information he needs to set up a special one-time wholesale account for you. I suggest you call him.

By the way is GR M-130 better than the PE Dayton driver, hence sounds better. If that is so then it is better to get M-130 now to avoid upgrade in future. The price difference is marginal and I also strongly suspect postal charge from GR is cheaper than PE, therefore M-130 will not much more expensive than PE's Dayton.

your opinion please.
