Very interesting indeed, Duncan... If I didn't already have the Celestion 66s, as my second pair of speakers, I'd be sorely tempted!

I'm Imjustsurviving.
I have a couple of pairs of 15" just for the purpose, perhaps if i can find another pair of the ship vents i can make a surround sound system with a differenceSeems to you me have a choice.
Either a 10" full ranger in the bottom and hope they reflect like a voigt horn or a big 15" dual concentric at the top.
