Design Goals:
My goals for these speakers were something that I would be extremely happy with, something that could do everything and something that would look amazing. I’m happy to say I achieved my goal!

Conclusion:
In conclusion I couldn’t be happier with the end result, these tower speakers sound amazing! The bass is so good that without a high-pass set you barely even need a subwoofer, they are controlled on all genres of music and look amazing! Overall extremely happy with my end result.
Thanks to 123Toid (youtube) for helping me with the graphs for the crossovers!

What’s the deal with the >10 dB hump near 5 kHz ?
It’s what happens when crossover are purchased from a catalog instead of designed for the system.
At all the speaker designs I seen on this project gallery, I thought yours was overall the best!
Am inlove with your entire set-up if I want to buy how much is it for the entire set-up and which recieved is the best to run the system.
