I am toying with the building a pair of open baffle speakers after hearing really good things about the Tang Band W8-1808 8" full range drivers.  Anyone had any dealings with Jeff @ ZillaAudio.com?

Here is a link to the speaker kit - looks very interesting:

Total cost of the kit with a 4'x8' sheet of MDF will come in less than $700.

I don't know anything about this kit,however, it gives me pause.

These are open back in a "u" shape around top panel that is 4" wide. Lower woofer is enclosed. I am thinking about building a pair just to see how this open back speaker stuff sounds. I seen these speakers at the Dayton DIY event that runs in conjunction with the Parts Express July tent sale a couple of years ago and they sounded nice. Just my two cents but the info on these speakers makes for a nice read even if this design is not what you are looking for.
