    @rodabod - best sound I have ever heard was a pair of 4", full range Boston Acoustic speakers. Soooo sweet and smooth, but still fast so you have the real dynamic feel. Of course there was detail loss and some confusion at higher volumes, and no real gut thumping but an eminently easy sound to enjoy and listen to.

    Here y'go, these are FrugalHorn 3's. These are my main system listening speakers at the moment. Not as dynamic as the big Saburo's but still very very good (IMO), smoother and more 'hifi' perhaps. They look easy to build but there's some trixy bits going on.

    Under the appalling (my fault) wax finish is probably the most accurate woodwork I've ever done...

    Others I've made are this pair of near-field FE127 (Fostex again I know) Fonkens...

    And before them I made FE167 MLTL's...

    And later for our Workshop Sound system I made...

    which hang and fire down our workshop like this...

    and were driven by this until the mains TX went pop..

    I think we reached the ultimate workshop system when I started running Logitech Media player on a PC fed FLAC files from a ext HD into an I2S DAC feeding the Valve amp into them workshop speakers.

    Lotta folk used to pop in just to listen :)
