the Eminence is one of the great values in audio- it gives a really nice sound for the price. However, the B &C is an even greater value, especially at the price Wayne sells them for (I just looked it up). I paid 50% more, on sale, and was still very satisfied, as it's very smooth, airy, little more extension, and incredible on jazz, classical, and vocals. For awhile I had a B & C in one and the Eminence in the other, and everyone who listened could tell the difference immediately and vastly preferred the B&C. At Wayne's price, I'd go for the B&C and don't look back.

Unfortunately, being UK based (even with the beneficial exchange rates) shipping costs make anything but the PCB's prohibitively expensive. At close to $2000 (for the stage 7 kit's I would like to build) by the time I've added import duty, tax and fees - Inland Revenue here consider the shipping costs as part of the total to be taxed! Price for UK sourced parts with the unstuffed PCB's about $1340 and that's using lower rated crossover components and no cabinet materials, hook-up wire, terminals..... I suppose its a testament to how much I'd like to give these a try that I'm even considering them at this price. I suspect the total build will equate to nearly $2000 and that buys some quite nice off the shelf speakers. But, if I go ahead (I have corners and I'd want to use them) it will be with the B&C units - I like my treble very smooth. Paul
