They are. I will try get a picture today...
I think that is going to add to the surprise factor. They are bigger sounding than they look.
My ever-patient better half thought I was going over the top with the frogs and the wallpaper... I told her that it was all sourced from her favourite section of our local DIY depot...
Some better pictures of the pair together...

Outstanding, I love 'em! ...really great to see higher levels of fun put into wonderful sounding speakers......
I have not tried it with the Leak yet (with these cabs). I did try the Leak 20 when I had the drivers running-in in some Voight pipes cabinets I had on hand. I was a bit disappointed as the mid-bass was bloated and boomy. As soon as I switched the drivers back to solid state (NAD 3020a and Arcam Alpha 8r) the boom disappeared. Not too sure why... Might be something to do with the mighty impedance peak at FR 😕

These have been posted before -- the original prototypes -- but with other drivers, here with TangBand W5-1611/

I would love to buld a pair yet simple but, very high (wf). I wonder if the ff125wk or the fx120 would work in the frugel-horn mk3?I have not seen any pictures?
I thought the design was intended to be corner loaded, yet I see few that are in the posted pics - has the corner loading recommendation changed?
Depends on the driver used (and the amount of damping). FE126 likes corners.
For instance, jon's (as in post #32) are now heavily corner loaded with reportedly large improvements in the bottom end (note that there is no longer apair of 15" woofers)

The room
Dave is correct that there is a huge improvement due to room form and function. In the first set up the 15's were not used, only for the theater that is in that room. I did add a Triad 10 inch in wall sub that I had extra and it filled the lower end perfect down to 20hz, BUT I am MUCH happier with the sound and frequency output in the bedroom withOUT the sub now. Its perfect. Thinking of adding a usb DAC to the passive pre and Decware amp. Anyone want a Triad 10 powered sub..
