Thanks all, I appreciate it.
To address the crossover question. I just picked out the parts that were prettiest and pitched the rest...looks are everything, you know.
Just kidding on the above, Mike addressed it correctly I believe.
Nik, happy to take more pics. What would you like to see?
Now, as to sound. I'm not feeling much like a dissertation and hyper use of adjectives is not my thing. so brevity will be order of the day. I probably have 50 or so hours playing music, but no particular break-in strategy. They have changed really significantly in this time. Out of the chute they were thin on bass, brash and almost harsh in the top end. That has transformed more than I would have imagined.
Low frequency kicks it. Open, unrestrained, uncongested...very natural sounding, even at low volumes. This trait would be hard to give up, but it takes some space and I kinda shoehorned it into this space. I get it now!
Mids are detailed, revealing and smooth
High frequencies I hope will morph a little more. Rim shot on snare is almost to thwacky. Vocals are a little glassy. One thing I'd forgotten and should mention. IME, the more resolving my system becomes, the more recordings I find deficient in some way because warts are more hear-able now. That's a sad truth and can be the root of a lot of tail chasing.
Overall I'm very happy with both sound and looks. Oddly now that I'm finished there's a void as there's no project to plan for. OK, the house still needs paint and pickup needs ball joints but it's not the same, you know.
Thanks for following along on my journey.
