Just completed this build yesterday. The photo op took place in the living room, before placement in my bedroom. There wouldn't be enough room to do a photo shoot in my bedroom, so I went with plan "B". Anyway, I am driving them with a Musical Paradise MP301 MK III tube amplifier,Sony SCD222ES CD Player, and a Topping D20 DAC go between for the CD player and of course my computer via optical/USB setup. I wanted the speakers to have kind of a Rustic looking finish to blend with the furnishing in my room, and I think I managed to get the look I was after! The sound is just wonderful so far, about 25 hours on them, but far from broken in. Got to have patience with MA drivers, but the rewards are worth it!!
Thanks,
Mac

Thanks Jeff! My second build with MA drivers. First was CHR70M.3 Pencils for my daughter (earlier post). I love the smooth sound of the MA drivers and the cabinet combination. This is definitely addicting!!
Thanks,

Thanks for the positive comments. The spikes I ordered off of Amazon. The knobs you see, are purely decorative, and were in the discount section of hardware at Wal-Mart for like $14.96 for a 10 Pack. They are nickel drawer pulls BTW. Link to spikes as follows:

Thanks, Scott for the positive feedback, and the great design! They sound wonderful, and I plan on getting many hours of enjoyment from them. You know you just can't beat the sound of the Alpair7/Pencil cabinet design without spending big bucks, and the real joy is I built them with my own two hands.
Thank You Sir,
Mac
