Bamboo Fonkens. These have a story. Chris did these as a personal build. He took them to the last VSAC wher ehe shared a room with George Wright. George left with the Fonken, and Chris came home with a pair of 300B monos. When George realized his time was coming, the bamboo Fonken ended up with Bud Purvine.
Where do you get your 'case badges'? Are those your planet10 logo or something else? Look sharp anyway.
Alpair 12 Classic Golden Ratio Mar-Ken12
Plans for these are free for diyers (as are the CGRs for other Mark Audio drivers)

I get them made (somewhere in the US midwest, the sam eguys that do the Bottlehead badges). They are the logo for our speakers. It is a phi (symbol for golden ratio), on a rectangle with a root(2):1 aspect. The phi is also an allusion to the farcical name of the speaker company a budy & i formed in University. Gork & Merkle McPhee.

EnABL ... no-one really knows how it works, but boy does it work (lots of commentary and how tos in many threads).
Part of the work i do on my modified/enhanced drivers.

EnABL can be one of those very "political" subjects, too bad there aren't more opportunities to JLTI (apologies to Joe R )
just want to report back, by now I have stained my and used it every night for a few weeks, these little guys really open up now, I was listening to some good CDs and I can honestly say that I did not miss the bass all that much ...
Having said that, I have tried to pair it up with a little 8" REL sub and give it a listen last night and boy ... if I get the crossover setup nicely, it's so seamless and when I get the lowest of note I get some bass in authority.
These are great stuff, I love them so much, can't wait to get my FH3. 🙂

Finaly in the mail yesterday... the postie went and got coffee so that he could get your package on the truck.

Thanks Dave. I hope they arrive to a resolution and won't go into strike, otherwise they might hold on to it for awhile 🙁
I'm pretty sure this postie wasn't happy with the idea of a strike, and gave the extra effort to help your box escape any "collateral damage" caused by it -- if it happens. I get the feeling the gov is ready to pounce if they do.

My CHR-Kens
I built them out of curiosity, and ended up surprised and impressed. Nice bass extension, great bass articulation, mids are very clear. The speakers also disappear very nicely. Drivers are Planet10 CHR-70.2eN. Finally got them stained and finished about a week back...

Thank you Dave.
I don't have the Bangla keyboard installed on my PC... it's kind of more difficult with 50 letters in the alphabet 🙂 Will give it a try!
