OB speakers on Facebay

I found these for sale on Facebook market place.
I have the sellers permission to share the pictures.
I'm doing so because I happen to have all of the drivers except the Visaton tweeter and that XO is one I got on eBay last month. I like the way the woodwork is done and the wiring is neat but I'd not use the spacing this builder has. I also suspect that the dome midrange is possibly not Dynaudio but the cheaper Jaycar/Dayton clone. The baffles do look good and I know how much they would cost from Bunnings hardware. Unsure tho of the the long term stability. Seller wants $1500- I got my drivers on sale and paid $20- for the woofers. Woofers have a Q of 1.7 and actually sound pretty good but can only handle about 30 W max
I've had the drivers for ages but haven't got around to making anything with them because big OB speakers need a bigger room than I have here

Yes.. The irony, which I'm sure you'll discover for yourself as you get into this design, is firstly that the dipole is creating lobing for it's wanted effects, and secondly that the baffle, with it's distance to the edges from the drivers creates a situation with some properties similar to increased driver spacing.
