That was my worry getting into a speaker system with pro drivers. You have different drivers for guitar, voice, bass, etc. Could these pro drivers really make for good full range general purpose home speaker systems? Apparently they do, but it is somewhat counter intuitive.

Don't miss the distinction between musical instrument speakers and those used primarily for sound reinforcement. Both are prosound drivers, but one is for backline applications and the other for front-of-house sound, for the audience. Backline gear is voiced for the instrument, and is colored in whatever way suits the musician. Guitar speakers are colored, they're part of the instrument, responsible in part for the musician's sound. But the speakers made for sound reinforcment are designed to be uncolored, true to the original signal. These kinds of drivers provide high fidelity sound, high output SPL and they are durable.

I agree. I don't like speakers with sensitivity less than 93dB or so. They just don't have the dynamic range, and that's a big part of the picture. While some wouldn't consider dynamic range to be a part of the definition of "high-fidelity", I definitely do.
I they let you spend more money trying out the flea powered amps, huh Wayne? Man I need to get on to buying the parts Pak and Damir suggested for that 6EM7 amp and put it to use on the Towers!

I'm kind of itching to build one of the Group Build creations too. But I still love the Stoetkit too, so I'd like to remind you about it. Great looking chassis, great sound. Not a lot of cash either.
