I've had some good fun with the RAAL's and AT mid's this past week and didn't quite expect to play around with them for so long but the RAAL's really are something else. Funs over though and I need to press on with the cabinets.

Veneering of the two completed baffles is now finished. It turned out well and almost seems a shame to paint over that work but I prefer the 'tech' look of the silver/black gloss finish.

Also did the routing detail on the plinths. These are now ready for spraying. I've decided to go with a matt black finish because experience has told me that a gloss black plinth + vacuum cleaner = scratched to hell. The matt black should be little more forgiving.

Still no sign of the Spectra Deflex panels and I need those before I can seal up the mid/bass enclosures, add the 9mm outer layers and then start to prime in preperation for finishing. Nevermind there's still plenty to do.

shin, are you going to be selling tickets for their unveiling.

i can think of a bunch of sheffield forum locals, myself included, who would pay for a good seat...

or will we have to wait for the DIY fest?

I'll be lucky if these are ready by then, well what I mean to say is ready to listen to. The cabinet and finishing work should certainly be finished but the XO...

So if I'm happy enough with the sound I'll let them play but if not then I'll just be bringing one along for folks to have a look at. That way I get off the hook

Like goldilocks will you be bringing only one!

There's no off the hook for you I'm afraid

I thought the whole UkMeet was based around the fact that everyone wanted to get close and personal to Shins latest attempt?

If he pulls out now we won't be able to criticise his work....
