Power hungry sucker.
these aren't kappa's, just a moderate, run of the mill, power needed...150 in 4 ohms is plenty

Very nice. Will the muffin tins be part of the rebuild? Some type of shielding or anti-resonance treatment?Home Theater/2 Channel:

Beautiful!
Did the refinishing take more time than the crossover rebuild?
Seems to always work out that way for me on these kinds of projects -- cosmetics take all the time and substantive work goes more quickly.

thanks, yeah it did...sanding, masking off sides to paint front, masking off front to stain and clear the sides top/bottom...the flutes(or whatever they are called) on the corners took a long time to stain...Marantz 1152 DC- Denon DP 1200, Soundsmith Carmen MKII- ADS L980 - Blue Jeans IC's

Very,,very nice. The stripping, sanding, and finishing is a pita but the end results is worth it.

Awesome job man!! It is always such a tedious job but the results always come out good if you take your time and do not rush. Looks as if you REALLY took your time.
