Also, when I stepped to what I aproximate would have been closer to a real listening position with similar reflections it was clearly better - just what I anticipate when completed and set up. It is an outstanding sound for the price and I really do like the simple beauty of the box. I am getting better with the table saw...

I will probably send these to school with my daughter this fall - I need to be sure she has her own money pit addiction. I plan on many hours of enjoyment before then.

We will start discussing a box with at least one horn next (aren't the Martinelli's georgeous?). I am looking for pretty on all levels (sound and appearance).
