Yep! Listening to Electric Ladyland and keep grinning! 🙂
Sounds pretty good considering the front and backs aren't glued in yet.
Now I know what Tannoys sound like too. 🤣🤣

Trimming some Maple veneer for the baffles. I'll veneer these 1st before glueing into the cabs as it will be easier   |

Well the bb3 was a good trial run, but it needs a bit of practice and patience. I use the iron on pva glue method which is a lot more forgiving than contact cement. |

Trimmed off and one coat of oil on , I'm pretty pleased with the result. A couple of nicks in the veneer but I think I can hid them 🤫  |

Pic of the bafflw in, light doesn't do the grain justice but gives an idea of the potential finish.  |

First impressions, they sound big! Being on the floor they need some stands (or I can sit on the floor!) but I can feel the soundstage and there is plenty of detail. The xovers need to bed in a bit too. But I am liking them.
