Really looking forward to hearing how you get on Lazmo. You are a few steps ahead if me in the process. I've got all my steel just need the glue. Should be done nnext week. I will need to wait until the new year for replacement tweeters etc. Keep us posted with this process!

Woofer now wired direct to terminals and they are transformed. On reflection, they were too forward before, but I do seem to like the balance now. At the same time there's a real clean punch and projection to the sound, once you've got them dialled in room positioning wise..
