Congrats, Louis.

Nice photos, those are really pretty speakers. For less than $1k, handbuilt and that pretty? With great sonics to match!?!?

Stupendous.

Congrats, Louis! After a few weeks with my TS-3's, I have no problem believing the rave reviews are well deserved. And am relieved of any nagging doubt about recommending the Super 3's (unheard) to my friend in Costa Rica a couple years ago. (he loves them... and didn't have much opportunity to audition speakers before buying)

Question, do you think the XRS would work well in a small room? My home office / music room is only 9 x 12'. The small 3's seem to be a good match.

I had a couple of questions, too.

First - how easy is it to knock over the XRS? I'm thinking, each speaker is 27" tall, wider than it is deep, gets propped up a little at the front and weighs around 30lbs. Then I start thinking about my 3 year old, who is around 37" and 37lbs who runs around the house chasing his younger brother. Would I be asking for (more) trouble with the XRS?

Also - am I wrong, or is there some plan to use a 4.5" hemp driver in a similar cabinet?

Thanks,

Chad

Forget that $1500 bit. Louis, you'll make a lot more in the end.
