Beautiful... Very professional.

I know exactly how they sound, totally magical.

Thanks for posting

Thanks for the kind comments everyone, interesting regarding the grilles though, I will probably fabricate some new full length grilles to see how they look

Is it a formica type laminate, or a tru-wood type pre-finished?

Yes its a true wood veneer that is bonded onto laminate backing and pre finished with a high gloss phenolic resin for durability

Beautiful work. The Mansfields were designed to be sealed for both the 12" and 15" HPD but the Lancaster was ported when the 12" Monitor Gold was used.

Thanks for the info Frank, I was initially thinking about front porting these but I like the tight bass these currently have, In your experience would porting make much of a difference ?

If you are happy I'd stay where you are, the 12" MG(not the 12R(rubber) has a Fs of 49hz and worked well in the Lancaster but without knowing how your driver has aged I'd leave it be and be content ;-)

Stunning. Congratulations

Those badges look mint.

Mind me asking where you got them from Roger? And how do they fix on?

Those are available on ebay, but the price is extortionate: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-size...ygV:rk:18:pf:0

I bought some a few years ago for about £17!
