Man those are gorgeous and oh so tempting.
I can speak to the craftsmanship of the cabinets. John made my Modula MTM cabinets too. He is a serious woodworker.
Guys, you don't get this level of craftsmanship in any competing speaker under $1000. You won't get the level of design and execution neither. You won't get the parts quality (SEAS Excel, Hiquophon, caps/resistors/inductors) in anything close in price.
These speakers are a buy it and keep it speaker. Even if your door is a revolving door for gear, this should be a trusty backup set of speakers (although that is selling them short, I'm sure). If I wasn't room constrained, these would be mine.
I think Lonewolf (Chris) or Hogg (Jim) need another set of speakers. They don't have enough.
