Thank you for posting the update. This had slipped my mind. (happens to me a lot it seems)
I like how this looks, but I don't have a clue how much this might cost for a pair. Are you comfortable putting a probable cost for the pair in this thread either or in a PM? A ballpark price is fine at this point. My next pair of speakers will have 6.5" to 8" midwoofers in a two-way monitor. Im still debating different speakers' merits.

We're still asessing the material and shop hours needed to build these boathull cabinets but even these small cabinets eat up close to $200 of raw materials. Then there's the custom CAD design work and toolpath layout, CNC time, jig building, assembly, sanding, veneering and finishing.
There's also the inefficiency of custom one-off designs vs. the more efficient production building of a fixed design.
For budgeting purposes figure on at least $1k for a small custom pair sans drivers or crossovers and that's probably optimistic.
There's a good reason nearly all speakers are simple rectangular boxes of mdf.
