Hi Rick,
Maybe this is evident to everybody else but are you implying that the performance of this new 3way will beat or trump (sorry) the performance of the traditional Tempesta?

Cheers,
Lester

I wouldn't say that it trumps the Tempesta but does offer a really nice alternative at a lower cost. I've named it "Fedele" (Italian translation of faithful) because the tonality is very true to the source.

I received a call asking if a kit was available for this design. The answer is yes, and it's called the "Fedele".

$1,375/pr. including shipping to the CUSA. The kit includes everything you'll need except the cabinets, midrange subenclosures, and damping material.

I have just started putting the kit together and have built the interior sub-enclosures to update the parts express curved side cabinet. I started talking with Rick about this project last fall and am anxious to see how it comes together.

I really like the relatively high efficiency for this size speaker and have always believed in the benefits of having the midrange do most of the heavy lifting through the vocal range. I will try and post some pictures as I go along.
