I need new speakers. My 10 Ohm LS3/5As run out of steam on complex music with my Audio Note Meishu integrated (8Wpc 300B), but actually sound great with jazz and acoustic.

Wayne and i have exchanged emails about the trepidations I have with my small room (3M Long (listening axis) x 4M wide, no corners or side walls).

Now I have some really basic questions, such as:

1. What does the kit actually contain (for 1 speaker?). No answer will insult me unless it is insulting. Does it contain "everything" but the cabinets, including wire, binding posts, pcb board or mounting for cross-over, etc...?
2. As I will have to use a highly skilled (and well paid) danish carpenter to construct the cabinets, how many labour hours did this take you?
3. What wood did you use/would you recommend? Birch and beech are widely available.
4. Do you have any pictures of a finished unit? I have only seen these black ones.
5. How much does a kit weigh? It has to fly to Denmark.
6. I looked at the measurements on the board, and i have some questions:
A) Do they sound "correct" to you?
B) How rolled off are these horns, really?
C) No problems with 8 Wpc, correct? (I didn't see a phase diagram).

You are probably wondering, why don't I just get some DIY guy in DK to help me? Have you a name and phone number? I speak danish and i am not shy.

My fall back position is probably a new set of Audio Note K´s

How about a pair of 20-year old Snell E's? There are several for sale, i think.

I hope some of you can help.

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Mac
