Hawthorne Audio does not use Beta at all. The driver's are all custom built for Hawthorne Audio and only available through them.

the glass designs looks very  very nice
that must also have been the primary design reason: a "big" mama baffle that looks like a 17 yr old dancerine
however:
1) how does glass sound like compared to wood or plywood?
2) how is imaging compared to smaller baffles?

or do i sidetrack ?

Well, OK  :oops: Since you asked.........

I don't have a good photo of the current back wall. I only have a pic of one speaker with the lower cover removed.
With the cover removed (to show the crossover) it looks kind of 'ghetto':
{More gallery photos in my signature}




Here's a shot of the back wall, but the speakers shown have been changed to the baffles in the top photo:
Same drivers used in both baffles. The blue light is from the lens of my projector

This is taking the concept of boxless speakers really serious.
