I feel I pretty much succeeded in achieving my goal of building a good sounding and inexpensive pair of speakers. I am very happy with the overall sound, particularly the solid, tight bass. Sibilance can be tiring over a short period of time, so the L-pads did a good job of controlling the tweeters. Besides these terse subjective comments, I dare not tell the readers about the system's attributes unless I have the measurements to prove so. And I should have something up and running real soon. One thing I know for sure, I will not be purchasing commercial loudspeakers anytime in the future. Nothing like the smell of saw dust and wood glue in the morning.
