Don't know if it's kosher to post this here - it is a DIY speaker.
New tweeters. One had the sticker pulled off only 2 days ago. The other was used about 25 hours in testing a 3-way. They have not been soldered on, the wires are taped in place.
Both speakers were tested Saturday and work fine. There is one cap screw missing off one woofer (the t-nut froze), but that can be easily fixed. Crossover is high quality components - if I remember correctly AudioCap PPMF caps, Mills resistors, copper foil coils. Internal wiring is AnalysisPlus Oval 14. Built sealed, blend excellently with a subwoofer.
The only variation from the design is that I increased the tweeter series resistor to cut the brightness of the design (per the designer's recommentation).
60 lbs shipping weight from 35758. If you prefer, I can pull everything out of the boxes to cut the shipping weight by about half (but you'll need to build you own boxes).
The designer (Geoff Dillon) is a professional speaker designer, not a hobbyist. His web page is www.dillonacoustics.com.
Cabinets are ugly. Asking $275.
