Hi Alex,

Very nice indeed. Is that the new ESS tweeter and how does it sound? I recently heard an old vintage AMT 1 tweeter and it blew me away.

Impressive craftsmanship, superb design. All midbass drivers are in parallel to boost sensitivity, right? I bet that array can deliver some serious bass despite the small diameter drivers. How about baffle diffractions from the tweeter? Any sign of it? Just a pure horn loading effect?

That is so COOL!

Now that you got us excited you need to give us details. Vented, sealed, chambered, baffled, etc., etc..

How did you get that color onto the speaker cones? Did you have them custom anodized or something?

The seas drivers have 6 mounting holes... I'd guess for Jordan drivers maybe?

Nice!!
You cant beat the AMT, do You have it open behind the amt or is it a closed vedge to reflect the rear wave forward/sideways?
Bass/mids look like Gas 6 1/2 car units?. What x-over frequency?
