The Tannoy GRF style cabinets for the HPD 385 drivers, I made have been finished and collected.
The owner is very happy with them.
He requested a different plinth arrangement octagonal, a large spike in each corner (something he already had, and liked the look), showing infront of the plinth corners.
Instead of half or long grilles an American made round mesh grille that fits snugly on a pressed flange that I fitted onto the front of the drivers.
The usual Tannoy front foam rubbers after easily removed.
A thinner strip of foam rubber was applied between each surface and the 8 bolts hold it all together.
Here are some pics.

A nice project all in 24mm birch plywood. They were very solid and heavy!
