And this is why I don't build speakers for a living....
I don't know how many speakers I've built- 100, 200...
Now the LGK with prefab boxes is about as easy as it gets. I get every thing glued up, solder the speakers, and start to put the ports in. Port A goes in fine, Port B? Where is Port B??? I turn the garage upside down, give up, get another port, begin to install it, and there it is, the missing port. Inside the speaker. Usually times like this call for alcohol. I open a bottle of wine, drink a glass. Now it's time to attack the port with a pair of long needle nose pliers, breaking it up bit by bit. Finally done, new port installed. I have a skill for making simple projects difficult.

You're not alone. When I soldered up one of the drivers I somehow managed to pass the lead through the heat sink I was using. Didn't notice it until I tried to remove the heat sink. Not that hard to fix though. Of course there was the time I glued the front baffle on upside down
Well at least my first pair of LGK's are up and running on my desktop. As everybody suggested, these are unfinished at this point and will remain so until after my step daughter listens to them in a couple of weeks.
Currently being driven by the NAD C372 stereo amp and mated with a subwoofer. They are sounding surprisingly good even though I have not got the inline high pass filter built yet. But then I am only listening to them around 60dB with spikes to 68dB.
At my current listening distance of 30 inches the highs sound a little harsh, say, when Chuck Mangione hits a high note. Also, vocals sound a little subdued and behind the music. Increasing the volume a little brings the vocals back out. They smooth out some if I back off to about 2 meters. But then they have only been playing for about a half hour at this point.
Maybe the highs will smooth out and the vocals pick up as they break in.
Of course there is also a comparison issue since the speakers I was listening to in this system immediately before swapping in the LGK's was a pair of N1X's with upgraded crossovers and by-pass caps (Gen II, not platinum).
Right now Chuck is groovin on some mellow tunes, sweet.
Now I have switched to an HD FLAC file (96k/24) of Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors". Very pleasing. Cymbal strikes are clean with a nice ring and decay. Finger picking lead guitar is clean and crisp.
Now let's try some acoustic guitar with Ottmar Liebert (another HD FlAC file). Very impressive, again clean, clear balanced and smooth.
OK, now for an unfair test with an unbroken in driver, Respighi's "Pines of Rome". This one is respectable at this point, let's see what it is like in a couple of weeks.
Overall first impressions are very positive. Danny you got a real winner here for desktop use, especially in a 2.1 setup.
