Just wanted to drop in here and show you folks the speakers we're building. They are certainly a work in progress. When the whole system is completed it will be an active 4-way setup with 2 st-70s driving the mid/tweets and and some sort of solid state amps driving the midbass and bottom. I've acquired some nice mahogany veneer to match the rack. The shelves of the rack in one of the photos are made of solid mahogany, although, I do not know which variety.
The sound these speakers make is very good. Results of initial testing show some real promise here! I'm using some of the very cheapest of components in my system, including DIY cat5 speaker wire, RG-6 innerconnects and DBX active crossovers and 1/3 octave EQ. The midrange section is currently being driven by what I'd initially considered a "questionable" amplifier, a basically stock st-70. Honestly, it makes me wish I had the cash to get the other 70 tubed and up and running, but the other one has a couple other problems aside from needing to be re-tubed.

Thanks for looking, and hopefully I'll have this mess cleaned up sometime soon!!
