Well they look superb. Is £4K your asking price? It isn't clear.

Could do with a bigger photo (or two) and it should be made clear if they are for collection (presumably) or can be delivered.

I’m open to offers. But not silly offers, please. It took me 12 months to complete the project.

Ideally collection would be perfect.

Forgot to mention, they are 98dB sensitive. Perfect for valves.

Still needs better photos. The provided one is inadequate.

What are the crossover points and what order did you use (1st, 2nd or 3rd)?

Looks a wonderful build. Love to see higher quality pictures. Better pictures will also help sell such a high value item imo.

FidelityArt

Blooming heck those are impressive looking speakers, well done on the build [emoji4]

It’s a passive 2nd order crossover design.

I’m sorry, I can’t remember crossing points. Now, I just use different resistors on full range and there is a Fostex attenuator on fountek. The pics showing Fostex but I ended up mounting ribbon fountek.

I concede that technically speaking, you are correct :)

you still need to name a price... you can say or near offer after it, but state if 4k is the base price, or thread will have to go.

So not based on something by Linkwitz Lab or Troels Gravesen for example?

Nope. Based on trial and error supported by simple measurements
