Anyone here build the VSS Eros?

Designed by Wayne Jaeschke of speakerbuilder.net.

Thinking about building a pair of floor standing MTM's for my loft/bedroom. They will be driven by a pair of mostly stock Dynaco MKIII's. 80% of my listening will be med-low levels, so the ~35 watts is more than enough for even med sensitive speakers. I'd like to keep it to 6.5" MTM, floorstanding, $400-600 for drivers/crossovers only.

Right now I like the Eros over most others in the same style/price/config. range. I looked at the Ariels, but I think I will not be happy with the low range with less than 6.5" drivers (personal preference). I read about GR-Reasearch's Paradox 3. It looks like a nice setup. Only glitch is I've never heard much about GR's woofer. Any comments on them?

If you built this kit, or something very similar, I'd like to hear from you.

Thanks!

Haven't heard them personally, but they did receive an award (third place?) in a DIY contest, along the likes of the X1 SLAMM klone

Hey super, thanks for the tip. Was this contest in an audio publication I might find, or web site? I'd like to read about it if possible.

Okay, two other speakers I am currently considering are the Paradox 3's at GR Reasearch and the Kit 281's from Adire .

The obvious difference is the 8" drivers of the 281's. I am considering them because of so much positive feedback on other forums.
