my boss came and got his new speakers today. i will miss them alot. my second design and build. an mtm with the silverflute and vifa tweeter. i made it a point to listen to them every day that i was home, even if just two songs. they have great imaging and a really sweet low end. i will miss them.

Is this the pair where you put the feet on the wrong end? If so, what did you end up doing?

Sorry for your lose. Remember time heals everything. In time you will be able to look at other drivers.

Maybe your sadness is motivation to build another pair. From what i've seen your cabs are pretty smokin. Did you ever post the cross over schematics for those?
