Hello,
here I like to offer my first attempt to construct the Elsinore speakers, a pair of MK6 with the NRX speakers and the coresponding crossover.
I build a second pair with the Purify speakers. Both have there personal character, but with a front of Panzersperrholz the second attempt suits more my taste.
The pair I offer is made of medium density chipboard (internal, front and back), the corpus made of beech multiplex.
Front and back show olive veneer, the colour is silver gray, obviously easy to change.
The finih is not perfect, I struggled a little bit with the veneer. But for an amateur I guess they are more than okay,
The socket is 25 cm high and contains the crossover.
I guess it is not neccessary to describe the sound, they are for sure extremly good and naturally sounding, imaging is extraordinary..
Actually I use these speakers in a 23 m² room with very good succes, the first room I used them in the past shows about 60 m².
Due to private circumstances, I am going to loose the 60 m², split with my friend, so I have one spare pair of Elsinores.
They are big, they are heavy, I didn't weight them, but I guess more than 50 kg each speaker.
I like to ask 950 €, a bargain looking on the 1700 € material and 100 hours of time I invest. You will surely find no speaker with a similar pricetag sounding nearly that good.
A grain of salt, only for someone who is able to pick them up at my home in Nuremberg, a good opportunity for listening to them.
If you won't listen to them at my home I am willing to help with the transport, my car has sufficient space. So this is debatable.

I built a pair and enjoy them daily. These look well made. A steal at €950.
I'm the happy new member enjoying the Elsinore pair, excellent deal and very happy, I will report more after a while on my listening experience impressions on the main thread. Thx Helmut!
