Thank you - I am glad to see the flat pack is there safe and sound! Two comments - the flare on the inside of the woofer opening is there to avoid possible diffraction and/or turbulence. The mounting screws have full depth (18mm) Baltic birch, as well. The "chopsticks" (I like it!) are there to support the polyfil - there are holes in each side panel where these are mounted.
Looks like a really nice flat pack. Several years ago I tried to convince Parts Express to find a manufacturer to make Linaeum tweeters for Dayton Audio. Unfortunately they never did, it's too bad because they really are fantastic dipole tweeters. I still have a few laying around that I bought years ago on eBay.
The inventor of this driver, is Paul Paddock, and he is with a company called MC Audiotech. They have a 40th Anniversary edition of the 6" high driver, which is a midrange/tweeter. It is called WBLS - wideband line source. I am hoping they will get the 1.5" high tweeter updated and produce it - and sell the WBLS driver, as well.
@@mfkhometheater7742 agreed! Paul Paddock was at Axpona, I think? He has been at Capital Audiofest, both times I was there. I have not gotten up the gumption to speak to him.
@abxaudiophiles automotive grade brown metalflake, gold cone ls. It goes purple in low light. You can also go to an autobody shop they'll paint your speakers. But I wanted to try a wrap, never seen it. Looks amazing. Doesn't sound amazing from the description but it's so cool.

Good info. Thx Neil.
Looks like top quality for sure. Thanks Neil for doing what you do, and thanks ABX for sharing!
@@CapraHiFi our pleasure. 😊👍🏼
Where do you source that plywood ? Have you got a private Red line to Zelensky ?
@@BogdanWeiss I get it from Boulter Plywood in Medford, MA. They do ship.
Good morning James. This looks to be an amazing build. Look forward to seeing it all.
Me too. Can’t wait to hear these again.
Neil's designs are terrific sounding, plus he is a great guy. I am anxious to hear the review as I am also interested in them.
So true. I’ll keep yall posted.
I've got a pair of the radio shack bipoles waiting on the shelf. I'm really excited about getting my kit! I mean dipoles. Whatever.😅
Heck yea.

If its easy to build i have a great vinyl wrap guy. He did my Ls50 Metas flawlessly with all those curves and circles.
That would be AWESOME. 😎
