..and got them in the mail yesterday. Twelve pounds of iron for $118 - not a bad deal. The XPWR005 is one hefty transformer. I ought to post a photo of it next to a PA774. The GXSE15 aren't pretty enough to be mounted top side (open frame and all that) but they do appear to be really well constructed. They're very nicely taped and they have a nice thick coat of varnish over everything. I hope they sound as good as they appear to be built. They're pretty good sized things, too. I was hoping to use a 2.5" base for the chassis, but it won't be tall enough to fit the GXSE15.
