Thanks Regal. They do sound quite good for something built by a complete DIY novice at the time.
However, they were built with a few compromises which in hindsight I have plans of revisiting to perfect over time.
> the active xover should have been built into a separate box to have flexibility over amps and crossover.
> using caps in series with the tweeter to protect it from turn on thump and DC offset
> cabinets should have been made separate as well (though the mid and tweeter are in their own sealed box inside) , at least I should have raised the height of the speaker cabinet by 4 inches to bring the tweeter to ear level.
> Tube amp for mids and highs, a simple 1st or 2nd orderr passive between the mids and highs would have been enough while using an active acrossover to ssplit the lows.
I have had these ideas in mind ever since i finished this pair 4 years ago....someday when living conditions improve going back to speaker listening is going to be glorious.
