call them the "draculas"

they look great BTW

Thanks! I recon they almost look oriental, with red and black.

The red matches the feature wall in my lounge

didnt get a chance to lug them home yet, the black gloss will take a while to fully cure, but ill take some more photo's when i have more progress

included will be some driver modifications too, once i receive them!

Looking good! I am itching to get going on mine too!

one thing we did on these, to avoid end-grain on the front curves not painting properly, we cut thin strips of a hard wood (Mirante?) a few millimeters thick and just a touch wider than the width, then glued and sanded them flush.... it was a little extra work but the end finnish was oh-so worth it. You cant see in the photos but on the curve there is a little bit of grain coming through on the front but it looks good like that

All DONE!

and my GOD do they sound great,

ive thrown everything from The Doors, to Japaneese Drumming, to heavy Drum & Bass, Trance, Dub Step, Vocals, 1930's swing, 30cc, and WOW! so, so clear. And the bass is so articulated!

woop! i'm one happy man! and the good news is i bought 2 of everything as far as drivers, tweeters and caps go, so might build another pair to sell so some lucky sod can get to listen like i can haha !
