It looks like you are making good progress.

My 4Pi speaker kits arrived Monday. I chose the same upgrades as you, but I took a step down in the capacitors.

I am tweaking the design and will probably begin the build this weekend. My original plan was to use plywood sides and a solid wood front. Then, I started worrying that the plywood is dimensionally stable and the wood would want to expand and contract. People online have reported the solid wood cracking with that type of design. I decided to go with mostly plywood. Then, I read Wayne's comments about the possiblity of crud rattling in the voids of some types of plywood, so I decided to use baltic birch. I still may do a veneer over the top since I would prefer cherry. MDF with a cherry veneer probably would work for my purpose, but I am more comfortable with working with plywood.
