But if it's a Pensil, where is port at the front?
Went to the main gallery and came across the builder's explanation - the port is at the back.
I am no expert, but shouldn't that change cab characteristics?

Looks gorgeous, no doubt...

Yeah I guess its not a Pensil from the way he explained it. I presumed he just moved the port to the back and maintained the Pensil design but apparently not. Should I remove the pic and link since its technically not a Pensil?
Pensil A7
standard chrisby treatment - lotsa bracing, cherry veneer, magnetic grilles - temporarily under the TV - Alpair7 center, and hiding in the corner, one of pair of dual Eastech woofers

Wow those are gorgeous! How does the 7 do as a center? How is your off axis response?

There is at least one set of Pensils in Oz, that went ahead because i suggested that mounting the driver on the back (or the sides) should be fine,
You'd probably also be fine doubling the depth, putting a terminus on the back just like the front, mounting a driver on each side & then rotating the box to make the side the front...

A sort of Alpair 12 Micro Tower? Only problem is that the tower would become pretty big...
Have you ever tried such a configuration?
Really nice clean application, Chris!
Are the front cabinet edges bevelled, (or a photo artifact)?

( you got mail)
Very handsome Chrisb!
I am pretty sure I see bevelling on the front edges.

thanks:
say yes to the bevels - even though mostly cosmetic at these dimensions, I just really like the slimming effect - and i'ts not particularly hard to fold the flexible paper back veneer over 45deg
and with my skill set it takes a whole lot less time and expense to veneer and lacquer than to achieve a decent paint finish
Don: "mail" lost in the mail (don't forget that UPS takes at least an extra day on the Island, even if not addressed off it )

Not with Pensils. Others.

Not shown, but definitely worth considering some bracing between the two large panels. I've heard the LF excitement dual EL70 can elicit, this could be very interesting indeed. Keep in mind that as will all bipoles, proximity in regards to rear boundary can complicate placement.
