So, I just received my Studio Monitor Flat Packs yesterday. These are a very impressive set of parts. The packaging is awesome and I don't have any issues with how they arrived.
I have a pretty good idea of how I'm going to finish these, but don't want to spill the beans just yet. I also need to do a few trial things to decide exactly how I want the finishes. Suffice it to say that Paint, Duratex and actually some other finishes will be incorporated.
The top edge of the front baffle seems to be sharp, as opposed to rounded over, on my baffles. I assume many people are adding this round-over with a router, as many pictures I've seen here show it rounded.
I probably won't be able to get the electronics for these until tax return time, maybe February or so. I hope everything is available then.
These are (or may be) replacing my B&W 805 bookshelf speakers, which I've had for 20+ years and have served me well. I will probably move the B&W's to the rear to do surround duty (hehe, I said duty) and improve my surround system (considerably). I do like surround music and we watch a lot of movies, utilizing this same system.
I like my current speakers but have been thinking for a while that the tweeter could be improved on. It especially hit home when I noticed in my wife's car (2013 Chrysler Town & Country) that I'm hearing things with that stereo that I don't hear in my home system, especially with the uppermost highs. Her system also confirmed to me that I actually CAN hear the those uppermost highs. Lol. Granted it could be some of my other electronics causing the issue (I'm looking at you late model Denon receiver), so some other upgrades are on the horizon.
Very excited!
