As already stated..very little chance of hating them.I love them just for the sheer thought and effort that went into making them.You knew exactly what you wanted and luckily had the skill and resources to make your dream come true..well done..congrats..Dee
I like the picture where one of the guys is INSIDE the box!
Curious how long it took them to make them. I'm guessing in the UK it would take someone several weeks and probably cost north of £5k for the carpenters time plus the material - not even going to hazard a guess as to how much a lump of teak that size would cost in the UK!
It's well worth experimenting, but it's very difficult to know what's going on without modelling and measuring, as well as listening.
Here's a graph showing the Monitor Gold 15 in a 172ltr ported enclosure. The grey line is with 3 ports 3" diameter x 5" long, the black line is with 2 ports. As you can see you lose a bit in the all important 60hz to 100hz region when you block a port.

Here's the 172ltr enclosure again with the 3 ports (grey line again), The Black line is 116ltr but with only two ports (if you don't block a port the peak just moves up in frequency). You still have the all important 60hz to 200hz but that nasty peak at 40hz is gone.

I can also model aperiodic, but It's only really any good for a high Q driver in a sealed enclosure that needs the bass peak reducing.
It took us around 60 days from start to finish. We actually used two logs of teak. When we started cutting the log you see in the picture into planks, we found the centre of the log (the hollo core of the trunk of the tree) bigger than expected. So I had to but a second log, not as big as the first one.

Ok, scrub that lol - Aperiodic seems to work very well at reducing the peak with the ported Tannoy.
