I'm glad the paint job didn't work out for you. Top notch finish on those bad boys. Stunning grain patterns!

Kerry, Mike,

Thanks for the compliments. I was really pleased with how the German Dog-eared Beech went with the Walnut.

I'm also glad the paint didn't work.

Great looking speakers! That baffle is a really nice piece of wood.

I must say the title of your thread reminded me about some RIS I have in the garage, this one is 2 years old - getting opened on Friday!

As you might guess, Brewski was a fan of Stone's beers. The I.R.S. is supposed to remind you of a mug with the head overflowing.

Enjoy!

I love that driver combo! Interested to know your full opinion on the tweets- I've read the x/o has to be well designed to get the best out of 'em

These are still my mains. Friends with better ears than I (and a critical perspective) think they sound exceptionally good. I have built several speakers since the IRS but have not felt like replacing them.
Do note that I try to enjoy the music and movies rather than constantly analyze performance of my gear. I can say that once the music starts, I forget about the speakers.

As always, YMMV, FWIW, etc. I haven't regretted any of the time or money invested in these.
