Hi Irwin,
My enthusiasm for the speaker has not diminished over the last few months !
The bass has improved with further upgrade of the Monica 2 DAC and a more powerful amp , Truepath from 41 Hz.
The bass stops and start precisely ..
I pay the local carpenter about RM 850 to do the carbinet and the spray paint. This is his first speaker project !
I have posted a few pictures of the finished product in the album .
I stay in east malaysia .
Will try to post some more pictures of the speaker to encourage you to start a similiar project .
