and another, they aren't quite finished yet some cosmetic touchup is required. The base has to be spiked and the jarrah rounded over and cleaned up

OK here's some info,

The column is a resistive pipe the box vents through here, this gives a very tight and quite deep bass. I've not done any measurements but they play the albinoni adagio with all the organ fundamentals.
The tweeters are ok i will replace them with something better but as the speakers are a gift this may not happen.
All the wiring is silver and the cables are silver then wrapped in ptfe and braid, crossovers are external and the box conns. are speakons. the paint finish is an industrial epoxy it is a hammered metal finish and looks quite superb, applying it is a pain as it is 2pak.
