Awesome!
Ta! They were a challenging build to say the least. There's a lot going on inside...
Re Monitors and speaker run-in Mr Brickman. Yeah, IME true 'monitors' only ever sound great up close as you've found. There should be ooodles of micro detailing though. I do believe in running in speakers FWIW. They're electromechanical devices with suspension systems in that need flexing (breaking in?) before they start to shine. Fostex are renowned for it. If I don't use any of my speakers for a while I 'liven em' back up again before really listening to them. There was a test/running in file you could used to download for free on't web that seems to work well. I'll see if I can find it.
EDIT. danb beat me to it.
Edit 2, found it http://realtraps.com/test-cd.htm use it VERY carefully. Start with the volume right down and keep an eye on cone movement, its LF content will shake the living daylights and stttrrrrrrrrrrrretch the suspension systems on single driver speaker systems where there's no crossover to get in the way. Seeing as 4 out my 5 pairs of regular speaker systems are single driver its all I ever use but there maybe other test tones downloadable out there too to give the mid and HF drivers a workout in multiway speaker systems of which I only have 1 pair, Celestion DL8 circa early 80's.

Awesome!
Would love to have the space for a proper set of horns (fnar!) - the room/placement for those speakers isn't ideal but they still sound better than most things this side of 2k :)
