Thanks, yes love them im not sure im finishing my Tannoy Westminsters speaker build shortly then i will see was thinking huge altec style made of timber veneer love working with veneer. also these both read 10ohms and the last set i made i put ontop of my existing speakers and put a 3.3uf cap in line and it sounds extremly good is this going to last or should i be building a proper crossover as it seems really good thoughts?
