If you took those to Cedia next year, then you could easily sell a couple of dozen.

Kim,
I want to thank you for sharing all this with us including all the details and pictures!
Believe it or not, it has been a nostalgic trip for. I recall as a youth taking the bus to downtown Pittsburgh to visit a high end audio emporium that had a pair of KLH 9's driven by the big Mac tube monoblocks. The guy that owned the store didn't mind me just sitting and listening. I will never forget the sound - There is nothing quite like a full range 'stat.
Years later, I came very close to building a pair of the David Hermeyer direct drive 'stats that you might have heard about in ancient history research.
Again, many thanks for taking me back on a pleasant voyage.
BTW, I did end up spending a number of years with a pair of Dayton-Wright XG8's, if you have ever heard of them.
Bob

Bob,
Thanks for your story, I have never heard of David Hermeyer (I need to look him up) but I do know about the Dayton-Wrights.
But there is more...
I have progressed with the crate and should be ready to package soon, see a picture below.
I also have one of the interface boxed finished and the other one is in progress
I will post a few better pictures when they are finished, I have some nicer looking hardware on order.
I also weighted these puppies, they are about 120lbs/55kg each. The crate weighs even more and it isn't even finished yet.

Sweet. Congrats.
That crate must weigh a lot, but super secure for those precious babies.
Cheers

Kim,
I have been "daydreaming" about redoing my HT setup in a separate room in my basement. One of the ideas I was toying with, so I could utilize a pair of your 'stats of an extra large size, was to install them both in a wall that separates the HT from the rest of the basement.
In this configuration, they would no longer be bipolar as the backwave would get lost in what can be considered an infinite baffle. This way, the back wave would no longer cancel out the front wave as you are aware. It has been a while since I had a 'stat, so I can't remember, but what is the frequency at which this cancellation begins? Is it 1/2 wavelength of the width? Also, is this response dropoff at single pole or double pole?
Hopefully I can turn this dream into reality because I really like what you have done, and really want to have them.
Thanks,
Bob
