Rick, can you provide more details?  Price?  Dimensions?  Drivers employed (10" or 12")?  Frequency response?  Amplifier options?  What veneer is that?  One thing's for sure: they look spectacular!

I'll have all of the details in a few days. The dimensions are 25" H x 13" W x 15" D. The plate amp on the rear provides 500-watts to the dual 10" drivers. Response (nearfield measurement, no room gain included) is -3db @29hz and -10db @19hz. There are some amplifier options such as an amp with DSP capability or an outboard unit. The veneer is a figured walnut with solid walnut trim.

Thanks, Rick!  By chance are those SEAS Design subwoofer drivers (L26ROY)?  How do they compare with 10" Audiopulse and 9" Scan-speak drivers utilized in previous designs?  As always, beautiful work!

Yes, it's the Seas driver. Higher sensitivity and wider bandwidth combine to make this a unique driver. The AudioPulse/TC Sounds drivers tend to have higher inductance so they are limited in how high they can cross. The Scan 9" is a great driver but low in sensitivity like the AudioPulse / TC woofers so they take more wattage to drive.

Is the Fondazione a sealed box?  How do you think one of these subs would perform located in the corner of a room versus directly under the MTM?  Are you going to offer it as a kit?

Hmmm, the Fondazione underneath the Raalevelator might be a nice combo as well.  aa

A corner will add 6db of gain so you can adjust for that with the amp's volume control. A lower crossover point sometimes will help integration when placing the sub in a corner. With this sub that's not much of an issue because the crossover slope is 24db and the cone breakup is much higher than that of a typical subwoofer. A kit is available for quote via email.
