reduce diffraction effects (harder to do with narrow baffles such as the 'Kens, FH, Pensils, etc) and the chamfered 'Kens already have a fairly benign signature
edit - scary or what, this finishing of each others......
Normal Chris, Dave's drawing up plans and you're building them boxes...

Floorstander Mar-Kel70 III
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Hi. I just thought I'd post some pics of my finished miniOnken build.
Alpair 6P in the micro Onken enclosure (uMarKen). Sounds incredibly good, have not heard anything before this that was as controlled and finessed, even in the bass department.
Spray painting the enclosure was a PITA. My next builds will use veneer instead.

It sounds pretty much like a Mar-Kel70. Maybe not capable of quite the dissappearing act as the primes or the trapezoid stand mounts. But easier to build, high WAF (Bernie took the pictured set to his brothers on the way to their owner, and wife said, we need 2 pair, 1 pr each up & downstairs).
Chris is thinking thru flat-paks on these.

My set of floor standers is coming along. One side is ready to line with felt, braces and put the baffle on. Was any stuffing needed to stop unwanted resonances? I am a bit hesitant to seal them up without knowing. I'll try and have a listen with them clamped on first.

the figure on drawings I got from Dave stated between 45-106g of poly fiber batting in - I went for full felt lining and 100g on the pair currently on the bench
in my haste /hubris, I elected not to make the back panel removable and they're already buttoned up, so it's too late to change now - we'll see how they turn out

could make for an interesting jenga puzzle to combine something like that with front to back holey cabinet brace - I ran mine long enough to interlock with the port slot
Quite beneficial. You don't want to eat up too much volume, and that close to the EL70 angled ends.
If the thot had occurred earlier the same thing could be done at the bottom.
