Danny,
You must have met my wife at some point. I imagine the conversation going on about how great the Double 12" H-frames at Jay's house sounded, but she just couldn't imagine placing them in our darling family room. (darling = esthetically pleasing to her eyes). After all, esthetics are so much more important than sound quality.
Geez. This sounds familiar.
I'm sure you wandered away from that conversation with an idea forming in your mind on how to alter the shape of the 12s or even the triple 8s in such a way that the Melodies of the world will nod with approval when their loving husbands present them with new pieces of furniture that must be placed here and here.
I'm very interested in these. Shucks, I was interested in the old one, too. It's just this one is more attractive. I hope its design proves to sound as good (nearly as good works, too) as MLundy's triple 8s.
I very much look forward to their completion and people's impressions.
Michael
