Ripped up some panels for a BIB based on the published calculations on this site. CSA 70 inches and 65 inches high, a little more area than the stated 65in^2. Added some stuffing, based on prior BIB builds, (five), plugged the speakers into a 30 watt hotrod TA2050 Tripath amp using SET preamp with 6SN7, and lit er up. VERY promising sound here. BIG sound, these speakers, totally green exhibit enormous potential, in this build. Plenty, as in LOTS of bass. Houston, we have a winner!! Tomorrow I will try a small 10 watt triode push pull amp. Might be even better. I really like the potential I am hearing here. This is a very, very full range sound.
Highly recommended +++

Glad you like them! I find them better off axis slightly, since they go up after 5 khz. Let us know impressions after some more listening!
