I have just finished reading through the whole thread (that really took some time ).
I'd like to ask an subjective question.
Since I don't have much tools (and even less experience in woodworking), I'm having quite a hard time finding a local workshop that's able to cut the curves of the CC sides (pls don't even ask why).
Q: Is the more focused sound of the Curvy Chang that much better than G Chang, to be worth of all the hustle? Should I just go on and build the G Chang?
As a side note, the room is 5.24meter (17.2 feet) x 6.93meter (22.74 feet), 2.6meter (8.5 feet) high, fairly void of clatter. Sitting/listening place is 8 feet from the loudspeakers (which themselves can be distanced 7 feet apart from each other). Listening place --- loudspeakers line is on the short side of the room.
I remember someone (maybe Ron or Scott) saying that listening distance should be around 11-12 feet from the CC, so the listener can be inside the relatively small focus spot.
I guess as less focused model, G Chang is maybe better suited for my room?
P.S. I know that the drivers are discontinued and thus their BVR builds obsolete, but I already have a pair of FE207E drivers waiting for me to find time and make them a suitable home.

Finally completed my Curvy Changs last night and listened to music for about 4 hours... wow, they are sensational! Now I know what sonic bubble means!
A big thank you to Dave, Scott and anyone else involved in the design of these cabinets... fantastic work!
Awesome!! You should definitely post some pics. Which driver did you use?
Scott
Here are some pics... excuse the warzone, 2 little rascals have taken over dad's rumpus

Thanks. I used these...
Dayton Audio ND16FA-6 5/8" Neodymium Dome Tweeter 275-025
but if I was to do it again, I'd probably use their bigger brother with the larger flange.
Dayton Audio ND20FA-6 3/4" Neodymium Dome Tweeter 275-030
Also has 50% more power handling...
