Tiny speakers do you have there....😀 😉
What drivers did you use?...and what crossover?

... tiny speakers, indeed .... 5 way horn, all home made ('70) ...
FYI:
Low, oversised Klipschorn with EVM18B
Low-mid, WE66A with JBL2482
Mid, Iwata with Vitavox S2/S3 (and adaptor)
High, Iwata (1 inch) with EV DH2305
S High, Beyma CP
X-over:
Passif filter 5-way, 12dB/oct, Fc:300Hz/1,2kHz,4kHz,10kHz
And important:
Factor WAF = acceptable (oef)

Allez, salukes.

Not at all beautiful, I would say.
But maybe the winner of 'who has the Biggest' contest 😀
no, maybe I am not joking .. Waveb
But sure yours are Impressive speakers .. probably made by yourself .. by hand?

Yes, they are prototypes made by myself, by hands, in my barn. They are made for a festival on campground, for 1000+ listeners on an open air (jazz, vocals, acoustical instruments -- I don't design for rock), with a studio quality of sound reproduction. The problem is, if I power each side by 100W of power, I need about 2 kiloWatt woofer to match them. Now you may calculate power needed for matching woofers if I decide to drive them by 750W each...

What an amplifier.
I see you are bit of a perfectionist, Waveb
Look for example at you 'front-plate-logo'
Amazingly 😎 Cooool

Thank you! Again, it is a garage made prototype. Production will look totally differently, though the same forms will be kept up. I tried to reproduce the shape using available in garage technologies. There will be aluminium cast, CNC milling, etc...
I am currently looking for experienced manufacturers, to get quotes for a business plan compilation.
