STEPS boards have been sitting in my box for about 1 year, now it is the time to build one(nothing fancy, C5 Muse KZ, C8 220uF Silmic II, hand "laser cut" handmond case to gain 20mm more width than standard 1455N1201BK) for fun, mainly because I want to see its performance comparing to my non-standard version of Sigma22 for my super matched PPAv2. Initial impression is STEPS makes my PPAv2 sound little bit differently than Sigma22..... I got more "homework" to do.....
These speakers however are great in midrange and highs. They are not a speaker that I'll be having for a very long time though... I'm looking for more slam and some actual bass pressure. It's a very fun and cheap build and if you can ignore their bass shortcomings (though mind you, their only shortcoming is the actual feeling of the bass, sound wise they are pretty good in the lows), you'll have plenty fun listening to them.
I dont exactly know the driver size of my current speakers, I think the size is about 4-5" in a mid range and low range with a 1" cloth dome tweater I believe
I am not looking for house shaking bass, my speakers can do that to a small extent, you can feel the bass through the floor on occasion and can always feel it through the cabinet...
I guess I was just wondering for a single driver solution do they cover the whole spectrum, or would I be better with the sticks?

Very nice, are you bringing that to the meet in Edmonton?
Yep, for sure. Hopefully I can build some more goodies before the meet.

Cool, I'm always inspired by your style I'm imagining your amps are coming along very nicely... I can't wait!

The front panels were custom milled/drilled. I did it in AutoCAD, but be sure to be VERY specific in your instructions if you do, because English isn't their fortι. You don't want them making mistakes on your expensive panels, Ferrari and I can vouch for that.
