maybe bad timing, or wrong place; i'm really thought i paid over $500 a pair for mine.
i know i paid $918 /pr for 138esr's--they're a lot cheaper now;
don't remember what i paid for 108esr's,
but i wouldn't mind having another pair.
probably wouldn't mind paying more than what they sold for originally, as they're now unobtanium...
it's a lot of work to build something from scratch.

and at least one enclosure built for everything...

have you actually built and listened to them all?

I've been listening to the 166's in back loaded horns for around 3yrs. I haven't done anything with the 138's or 206's yet. I moved to a different house which required a bunch of work, you probably know how it goes. I try to get at least one major diy audio project done each year though. This year is a TT, last year SET monoblocs, year before that a tube preamp.

I plan to build some OB's like MK's with 2 alpha 15's per side to try all the drivers in. I also have a pair of Lowther PM2C's.

From the OB's I've listened to this will probably be the road I wind up going down.
