edit; weird how the text disappeared ( kinda like Jeff the Pieman's Peach creation)
Interesting choice of photo - while the FF85WK quickly became a favorite hereabouts, they certainly benefit from some help with the heavy lifting, particularly in a large space such as Dave's room - but the biggest speaker surprise of the weekend for me was the performance of the 4" Peerless (Dave - maybe you could pop one out to confirm the model # )

4" Peerless? According to ZaphAudio, 3" full rangers are more suitable to combine with woofers. Would that Peerless only be used as full rangers?

Peerless 830870, used only for LF support.

Looks like the SDS-830855 that's on the madisound page. Two drivers in a 10L vented box easily get down into the 40's.

As Dave noted, the Peerless (by now the model number has been confirmed) were used for bass support - 2 way PLLXO at 160Hz (1st order electronic?)
To my ears, a pair of these drivers in the bipole MLTL sound just fine. Maybe someday Dave or Ryan will get around to measuring them in room, but "frankly, Scarlett.... "
While the 12LTA certain had no trouble "out-louding" them, the system pictured above makes the Eminence sound like exactly what they are -
I've used larger models in the Peerless SDS series before - hard to criticize them in any regard.
I may have to scurry and build a 5th one
[so can test them in the HT]

I should have an upgraded pair of boxes done by the time they arrive; now that there is a mission, that would be a sure bet (-; (-;

Love the red
Interestingly, the drivers i am sending doug have red (burgundy) spots.

Here's a crappy phone photo of some red Dave recently did for a co-worker.
Looks pretty cool when it's dark and there is a bloodshot cyclops starring at you. The red trim is birsdeye maple which matches the enable dots well also. Gotta get some better photos and post them in the photos thread.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Nice slant on the sides. I need to get more creative instead of plain boxes.
