They are absolutely wonderful speakers, no doubt with the directivity control implemented, Wayne really knows what he is doing. Imaging is....a sight to behold ;-) - when done right. Even for a 3200$ build.
Good luck with the sale!

I noticed these speakers when they first became available and had them on a short list of possible builds. But I never pulled the trigger. This looks like a great value

The standard build is very compact.
But there are variations out there, it is possible to tweak to taste and still remain in alignment with the fundamental design and key performance parameters.
Here my take on it, they are not exactly handy at 210kg for the pair including filters. But as I occasionally swap speakers, the wheel bases are a relief.
It's is 40mm oak, front and back is an MDF-Plywood sandwich, for damping and stiffness. It has deflector plates for bracing and to block direct reflections to get out the rather large ports. Which are dimensioned to avoid chuffing up to 5-600w input.
Bitumen, felt, foam and a curtain of acoustilux in center conveniently hanging on the deflector plates. ....because I could 😆
With and without oil....
I also run them active, which is easy given the external filters.
That was already way too much info.... but thank you for the friendly tease Bernd 😄
sorry for the interruption, but maybe it can inspire.
The performance is downright brutal and not at all what people expect from the look!
