Proper bracing there mate, cabs should be solid as a rock.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

Yes, the construction is 'no compromise.'
I calculate max SPL at about 118dB at 1 metre. Could use them as a P.A.
In reality I never listen at high levels but do like a speaker that is only cruising at the levels I like, you get that sense of effortlessness.

Yes, lower distortion too.

That is the key.
Problem is they do have a really hard act to follow with the speakers I have already. I've really got the whole thing just how I want it right now, so I'm just a bit concerned that this won't work out. But nothing ventured, nothing gained.

It is. Same idea in many OB's- run a large high efficiency driver(s) so it's barely ticking over most of the time. Colin did the same with the Edingdales, except running several smaller drivers to mimic a larger, but same idea, run them very easy so they operate in their most linear region. Makes the difference.

All done and working:
The speakers next to them are also a Troels Gravesen design. They have active bass drivers. For sale at £8K if anyone's interested.
