These diy builds were made a couple of years ago, based on the Distractions that were well received in this link:

I already had built the solid red oak 0.5cuft. cabinets with leather covered sculpted baffles from a previous project and
adapted them to build the Distractions but using Peerless 0.75 dome tweeters in lieu of the rather expensive Hiquphon OW1.
The best stand mount speaker that I have built.
Peerless 6.5” nomex woofer. crossover as original.
$200 including shipping to Conus.

Interested. Are these rear-ported like the Distractions? How tall are they? The Distraction cabinet volume is 0.7cuft, what effect does smaller cabinet have?
Thanks
Thanks
Sorry about the delay. Yes they are rear ported. 17”h x 10.5”w x 11”d at the base.
I think the smaller cabinet tames the low bass somewhat.
I use them in a smallish room and prefer the ports stuffed with felt.
the mid range is magic.

OK, I'll take them. I seem to have forgotten how to start a conversation. Hope you don't mind starting one so we can sort out PayPal & shipping
