When attaching the drivers into the MDF baffle for the X-CS, are hurricane nuts or T nuts needed, such as these?

Welcome to AC.

No, those aren't necessary at all. The kit comes with screws for attaching the drivers.

Hi Danny,
  Would it be a step-up to replace the Peerless (excellent)  tweeter with the B&G Neo3 PDR or would the XO's limit the conversion/would the B&Gs fit?
  I've done everything else, just wondering if I've come to the end of the road with x-ls mods?
Thanks, pc 
Ps. Impressive upgrade with the No-Rez, Sonic Caps & Peerless tweeter.. Thank You SIR!!!

The BG tweeter won't fit and the crossover would have to be completely different.

If you have already done all of those mods to your X-LS then you have already taken them a long way and for not too much money. And I bet you had fun with them too. 

To keep moving upward might mean time for a new speaker. X-Pro's are coming...

Is that a continuation of the old AV123 design from yore or just the same name? They sure looked stupid cool before ...

I am just fulfilling the promise of a model that never would otherwise have been built. It is of my design though and not as per any early artist conception. All of my work is designed around the engineering parameters and performance objectives first and foremost.

Awesome! Color me enthused ...

I would imagine that the only thing Danny's X-Pro will have in common with the AV123 concept--other than name--will be that it incorporates a waveguide-loaded tweeter.

Good point. I did love all the old renditions we saw

Is there any info about the X-SLS Encore? Found the box plans, but not comments about SQ (esp vs the X-LS Encore) and sensitivity. Can it be made as a sealed design?

Thanks in advance!

Ben,

The X-LS and X-SLS are the same speaker. The difference is only that the X-SLS uses a small floor standing design (optimal air space) that allow it to play much lower. It is still the same award winning design that won speaker shoot offs etc. It just has an extended bottom end.

are the X-CS encores really 18.5" deep?  just making sure I didn't get the wrong cabinet plans
external dimensions of the plans I got are 8.5" W x 20" H x 18.5" D

Total depth is only 15.5".

Is there a difference between the cabinet plans for the xls-classic and the xls-encore?  TIA

Only the cut out for the tweeter is different.

Thank you!

I guess the X-MTM Encore was never part of this group of speaker kits.
Did it sell so well there were none left over, or did something else
cause these not to be available with these other kits?

[cujobob]

X—cs encore is the x mtm

[jcotner]

X—cs encore is the x mtm

OK but I thought the x-cs is a center speaker.
The x mtm is a floor standing speaker, as verified
by pictures of it at av123.com. They didn't have
a picture of the x-cs so I'm assuming here.

I thought the crossover would be different because
of the change in the baffle, but maybe I've got
it all wrong.
