Excellent! Of course you are not done yet...
Now you need to EnABL the Fostex drivers - see http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/swap-meet/119852-enabl-kit.html?perpage=10&pagenumber=1
Yes, it does make a difference - and a very GOOD one.🙂
I have a pair of mini-Fonkens and a pair of PAWOs both built by Dave and Chris and both with EnABL`d FE127s. We tested stock drivers and EnABL`d drivers in both boxes extensively (especially with non-audiophile listeners) and the consensus was clear: the EnABL`d drivers were smoother, more musical and more lifelike across the board. EnABLing does not change the sonic balance of the FE127, it brings out a quality of alive-ness that is missing in the stock drivers.
Anyways, congrats and enjoy your new, very pretty, speakers

1/ You have to adjust the length of the port shelfs (which gives you a less rigid side panel)
2/ you get a greater, more audible level of edge diffraction.
A big roundover means 1 is not as bad, and 2 is not really an issue.
Probably best is the big champher, with round-over at the corners of the champher.

Very nice. Keeps reminding me that I want a pair of these...or I should finish an amp first..its all a little bit chicken and egg.
Once again, very nice. And another vote for construction pics.

I suck (again)
as usual I am in awe of such great execution on the enclosures. I second (er or third Gregg's?) comments regarding the build quality , and can add that eEnABLing works!
