First xXx in place...no need to say that it outperformed my original Avalon Eclipse like there is no-tomorrow. So those moved up to my hometheater.

Erm, I have to ask Erik, how much did the speakers cost in materials?……..I don’t want to consider the labour/time

Ditched the grille of each unit (including the diamond-grille).

Cough
And may I ask what proportion of that was taken up by the crossover?
From the look of the units, you’ve gone to a lot of trouble to get them looking something special, such as the mother of pearl and finish, but I imagine the same basic design could be build at a lower cost if some finish and detail were sacrificed (?)

Crossover 5000 euro's....believe it or not that was a steal....ahum....honestly
The mother of pearl was done in Malasia so that was only 250 dollar (a 1000 euro's in Holland so NO WAY)
Ebony is an outrage when you have to pay....but despite that I used it everywhere....mind you Neil Patel painted every part black on the 175.000 euro's Sentinel...

I’ve got that many questions it would probably be quicker for me to learn read Dutch and work my way through the site you link to
Some information on the crossover would be cool if you have it to hand.
