    Slow - looks really nice. I thought your Danley was an acoustic Panel when I first glanced at the pic. (in a way - I guess it is)

    Anyway from that pic, I was wondering - do your front speakers have tweeters in them? The just look like 3 woofers.

    Anyway - congrats on what looks to be a fantastic system. (That looks to be set up in a single mans arrangement... :p)

    the speaker in the middle has a 1" titanium compression drive behind the mesh dust cap...i believe they are the same as the ones used in the emerald physics speakers.

    you can kind of see into the dustcap and see the waveguide

    DSC01411.jpg

    :D due to those speakers being designed for proaudio use, they are able to play loud and clear

    I'm not sure if you are a believer, but a good set of heavy duty speaker stands will improve the sound of your system as well. And judging by the size of those fronts, they would have to be pretty hefty.

    Your comment made me to buy my $300/pair speaker stands from SANUS. Each of them, after being filled with sand, weighs about 50 lbs each, and is super sturdy. I still have not experienced the "Earache" problem that I had experienced prior to these monsterous stands. :)
