Please forgive my lack of modesty, but I just have to say something. I see a lot of great projects, and I don't hesitate to mention the cool stuff when I see it. So I would be remiss to overlook Bill Martinelli's woodworking on the horn kits. These π midhorns will really take your breath away. I just took delivery on a batch of π midhorns, and I couldn't resist but to peek inside before shipping them out. They're cherry, both in wood stock and in quality and appearance. I gotta say they're just beautiful, really "cherry." Great woodworking, with sharp, perfect angled cuts. Beautiful wood grain, just gorgeous. And nice packaging too. These midhorn kits are sweet. It's not very modest of me to say, I know, but really the credit goes to Martinelli. To bad all these are spoken for, 'cause I'd like to keep them. But there's more where they came from.

I'm running a set of Bill's 800Hz horns made from Padauk with a PSD-2002 compression driver and a Eminence Kappa Pro 12A woofer as a "smallish" 2-way. The woodworking is gorgeous as stated by Wayne and the Paduak has a very nice look to it. It think eventually it's going to wind up sitting on a gloss black woofer cabinet, should make a nice contrast. As for the sound, the Woodhorn and the 2002 driver make a sweet combo. I think I'm set for awhile on the speaker front. DaveJ

Hey, I have this fancy new 5mp camera, and I'd be happy to make a
nice photo array of these things. Just send them out and I'll get
right to it. Might take a few weeks, but hey, I'm doing it for
nothing...
Oh, I wasn't supposed to try them out? Oops! Sorry.

These are already on their way. There's a photo of the midhorns on the shopping cart and in the various forum posts, but it's hard to capture the detail in low-res computer shots.
