Thanks for asking and finding out.
Sounds good to me, maybe a bit strident when she lays into it but that might be recording too.

"Closed box 65 litres, made from 21mm birch plywood. Crossover is 3ohm+3.3uF in series and 0.68mH in parallel for tweeter. And NO crossover for woofer."
Very interesting, sound way different at 50 seconds when close versus when further away. Baffle step. I noticed I had some 3" on an open baffle, sounded awesome and full about a foot away, further away you really lost bass. eh, just boost the bass on receiver or preamp and call it a day.

I will try that later with the cat378 tweeter- than I have an a/b comparison with my visaton waveguide.
In this russian hifi forum is an interesting thread about the a26 and cat 378.
Its a 0/93 devore clone...

With a lots of off and colloquialisms
Random post googletranslated:
"Of the non-impregnated only vintage basoviki that on the secondary in Finnish acoustics go zanedorogo, in the same place and a dome and a pshchalka and the body in the kit. If in three bands, then why look unimpregnated, it will be cut off. A26 down does not play deep, - not very out of it 3 bands."

Maybe cats play a major role in making more musical hifi gear. Ever since I installed a cat in my house, both my amplifier and loudspeaker designs have gotten significantly better.
Hi,
found an image from an early Orang utan prototype:

I will be very curious to see the wood discolorations now
It looks like liquidambar wood... isn't it ?

We used to have a cat once that loved to stretch its front arms out and use speakers as a scratching post to sharpen up its nails.
I would be interested in how you are mitigating against this.

Audax TW034 would be a good tweeter to match to the A26. Troels G. uses it in a waveguide he designed as essentially a drop in for the high-end, very expensive SEAS tweeter.

Curiously, many diy designers with fancy designs never discuss what should go behind the driver. I use a hybrid of design and materials to attenuate the back wave. The back wave is the same energy as the front, yet hardly ever mentioned in a design. Theorized a lot, but never mentioned.
Her's another good Seas A26 and Morel Cat 378 design:
